answer_n to_o the_o reason_n give_v against_o the_o bill_n for_o erect_v court_n of_o conscience_n within_o the_o weekly_a bill_n of_o mortality_n to_o the_o first_o the_o bill_n only_o intend_v to_o take_v away_o trial_n by_o jury_n where_o the_o cause_n be_v under_o 40_o s._n which_o will_v be_v a_o very_a great_a ease_n to_o the_o subject_a and_o save_v the_o plaintiff_n and_o defendant_n above_o twice_o the_o debt_n in_o arrest_n put_v in_o special_a bail_n and_o attorney_n and_o other_o fee_n in_o proceed_v in_o the_o inferior_a court_n and_o the_o matter_n if_o under_o 40_o s._n damage_n for_o word_n or_o blow_n where_o the_o plaintiff_n and_o defendant_n be_v of_o the_o poor_a sort_n of_o people_n that_o pay_v no_o tax_n or_o duty_n to_o the_o king_n church_n or_o poor_a and_o therefore_o can_v expect_v no_o great_a damage_n may_v with_o much_o ease_n be_v decide_v by_o three_o honest_a gentleman_n of_o the_o neighbourhood_n and_o thereby_o the_o party_n fair_o reconcile_v to_o follow_v their_o lawful_a calling_n and_o consequent_o be_v preserve_v from_o fall_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o parish_n to_o the_o second_o the_o parliament_n in_o pass_v this_o act_n do_v not_o prejudice_v the_o law_n in_o its_o fundamental_o but_o only_o put_v a_o check_n to_o the_o exorbitancy_n and_o exaction_n of_o many_o person_n in_o inferior_a court_n who_o aim_v only_o at_o arrest_n and_o the_o bring_v the_o poor_a and_o ignorant_a people_n into_o their_o clutch_n and_o be_v much_o startle_v at_o this_o act_n fear_v the_o poor_a will_v thereby_o be_v relieve_v against_o their_o rapine_n and_o violence_n to_o the_o three_o this_o bill_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o take_v away_o the_o trial_n of_o cause_n in_o any_o court_n baron_n where_o the_o proceed_n be_v original_o by_o summons_n and_o distringas_fw-la under_o 40_o s._n wherein_o the_o defendant_n be_v at_o liberty_n either_o to_o appear_v or_o comply_v with_o the_o plaintiff_n by_o the_o return_n of_o the_o summons_n nor_o be_v the_o power_n vest_v only_o in_o shopkeeper_n although_o in_o london_n they_o be_v most_o such_o for_o therein_o the_o reasoner_n be_v much_o mistake_v by_o aim_v to_o disparage_v the_o intend_a judge_n not_o name_v and_o thereby_o conclude_v that_o the_o parliament_n can_v find_v out_o no_o judge_n but_o shopkeeper_n within_o this_o intentional_o to_o be_v reform_v jurisdiction_n to_o the_o four_o no_o justice_n of_o assize_n ever_o ride_v in_o this_o small_a charitable_a circuit_n and_o it_o be_v easy_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o parliament_n may_v if_o they_o please_v find_v hundred_o of_o honest_a and_o able_a gentleman_n to_o reconcile_v such_o petty_a difference_n and_o save_v the_o mispending_a 5_o l._n to_o recover_v sometime_o 40_o 20_o 10_o or_o 5_o s._n and_o such_o like_a petty_a sum_n with_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o suit_n which_o be_v the_o accustom_a fee_n for_o plaintiff_n and_o defendant_n in_o any_o such_o suit_n to_o the_o five_o the_o five_o reason_n bear_v little_a sense_n to_o presume_v that_o the_o parliament_n will_v appoint_v indigent_a person_n to_o be_v judge_n in_o the_o coure_z of_o conscience_n neither_o will_v the_o parliament_n appoint_v tally-man_n broker_n or_o such_o like_a person_n to_o be_v judge_n or_o commissioner_n who_o lend_v such_o minute_n sum_n at_o great_a and_o costly_a exaction_n which_o have_v be_v a_o fit_a bait_n for_o inseriour_a arrest_v jurisdiction_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v believe_v that_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o court_n of_o conscience_n will_v fight_v or_o scold_v with_o their_o poor_a neighbour_n note_n that_o the_o reasoner_n observe_v that_o the_o act_n for_o the_o court_n of_o conscience_n design_n the_o prevent_n of_o the_o expense_n of_o great_a sum_n in_o petty_a suit_n and_o then_o speak_v of_o the_o ease_n and_o quickness_n in_o the_o recovery_n in_o such_o court_n and_o of_o a_o summons_n or_o notice_n to_o the_o defendant_n where_o the_o defendant_n may_v tender_v the_o money_n due_a and_o the_o plaintiff_n can_v recover_v cost_v after_o such_o tender_a which_o be_v true_a but_o never_o mention_v the_o exaction_n and_o extortion_n occasion_v by_o arrest_n in_o inferior_a court_n which_o be_v the_o great_a oppression_n and_o grievance_n now_o under_o consideration_n to_o the_o six_o the_o six_o reason_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o

both_o party_n in_o such_o suit_n it_o be_v agree_v that_o jury_n be_v of_o the_o neighbourhood_n and_o may_v be_v challenge_v or_o have_v a_o attaint_n bring_v against_o they_o or_o the_o party_n
