chancery_n for_o other_o bench_n i_o be_o not_o yet_o so_o well_o resolve_v of_o their_o jurisdiction_n in_o that_o point_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_v never_o against_o prohibition_n of_o this_o nature_n nor_o the_o true_a use_n of_o they_o which_o be_v indeed_o to_o keep_v every_o river_n within_o his_o own_o bank_n and_o channel_n but_o when_o i_o see_v the_o swell_a and_o overflow_a of_o prohibition_n in_o a_o far_o great_a abundance_n than_o ever_o before_o every_o court_n strive_v to_o bring_v in_o most_o moulture_n to_o their_o own_o mill_n by_o multitude_n of_o cause_n which_o be_v a_o disease_n very_o natural_a to_o all_o court_n and_o jurisdiction_n in_o the_o world_n then_o deal_v i_o with_o this_o cause_n and_o that_o at_o two_o several_a time_n once_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o winter_n and_o again_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o next_o follow_v summer_n at_o every_o of_o which_o time_n i_o spend_v three_o whole_a day_n in_o that_o labour_n and_o then_o after_o a_o large_a hear_n i_o tell_v they_o as_o christ_n say_v concern_v marriage_n ab_fw-la initio_fw-la non_fw-la fuit_fw-la sic_fw-la for_o as_o god_n contain_v the_o sea_n within_o his_o own_o bound_n and_o march_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o psalm_n so_o be_v it_o my_o office_n to_o make_v every_o court_n contain_v himself_o within_o his_o own_o limit_n and_o therefore_o i_o give_v admonition_n to_o both_o side_n to_o the_o other_o court_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v careful_a hereafter_o every_o of_o they_o to_o contain_v themselves_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o their_o own_o jurisdiction_n and_o to_o the_o court_n of_o common_a law_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o forward_o and_o prodigal_a in_o multiply_v their_o prohibition_n two_o caution_n i_o will_v they_o to_o observe_v in_o grant_v their_o prohibition_n first_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v grant_v in_o a_o right_n and_o lawful_a form_n and_o next_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o grant_v they_o but_o upon_o a_o just_a and_o reasonable_a cause_n as_o to_o the_o form_n it_o be_v that_o none_o shall_v be_v grant_v by_o any_o one_o particular_a judge_n or_o in_o time_n of_o vacation_n or_o in_o any_o other_o place_n but_o open_o in_o court_n and_o to_o this_o the_o judge_n themselves_o give_v their_o willing_a assent_n and_o as_o to_o the_o cause_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v grant_v upon_o every_o sleight_n furmise_n or_o information_n of_o the_o party_n but_o always_o that_o a_o due_a and_o grave_a examination_n shall_v first_o precede_v otherwise_o if_o prohibition_n shall_v rash_o and_o heady_o be_v grant_v than_o no_o man_n be_v the_o more_o secure_a of_o his_o own_o though_o he_o have_v get_v a_o sentence_n with_o he_o for_o as_o good_a have_v no_o law_n or_o sentence_n as_o to_o have_v no_o execution_n thereof_o a_o poor_a minister_n with_o much_o labour_n and_o expense_n have_v exhaust_v his_o poor_a mean_n and_o be_v force_v to_o forbear_v his_o study_n and_o to_o become_v non_fw-fr resident_a from_o his_o flock_n obtain_v a_o sentence_n and_o then_o when_o he_o look_n to_o enjoy_v the_o fruit_n thereof_o he_o be_v defraud_v of_o all_o by_o a_o prohibition_n according_a to_o the_o parable_n of_o christ_n that_o night_n when_o he_o think_v himself_o most_o happy_a shall_v his_o soul_n be_v take_v from_o he_o and_o so_o be_v he_o torture_v like_o tantalus_n who_o when_o he_o have_v the_o apple_n at_o his_o mouth_n and_o that_o he_o be_v gape_v and_o open_v his_o mouth_n to_o receive_v it_o then_o must_v it_o be_v pull_v from_o he_o by_o a_o prohibition_n and_o he_o not_o suffer_v to_o taste_v thereof_o so_o as_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n i_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o true_a use_n of_o prohibition_n and_o the_o superabounding_a abuse_n thereof_o for_o as_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a ought_v not_o therefore_o be_v abuse_v so_o ought_v not_o the_o lawful_a use_n of_o a_o good_a thing_n be_v forbear_v because_o of_o the_o abuse_n thereof_o now_o the_o second_o general_a ground_n whereof_o i_o be_o to_o speak_v concern_v the_o matter_n of_o grievance_n there_o be_v two_o special_a cause_n of_o the_o people_n present_v grievance_n to_o their_o king_n in_o time_n of_o parliament_n first_o for_o that_o the_o king_n can_v at_o other_o time_n be_v so_o well_o inform_v of_o all_o the_o grievance_n of_o his_o people_n as_o in_o time_n of_o parliament_n which_o be_v the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o whole_a realm_n second_o the_o parliament_n be_v the_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n and_o therefore_o the_o fit_a place_n where_o diverse_a nature_n of_o grievance_n may_v have_v their_o proper_a remedy_n by_o the_o establishment_n of_o good_a and_o wholesome_a law_n but_o though_o my_o speech_n be_v before_o direct_v to_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o parliament_n yet_o in_o this_o case_n i_o must_v address_v my_o speech_n in_o special_a to_o you_o of_o the_o low_a house_n i_o be_o now_o then_o to_o recommend_v unto_o your_o consideration_n the_o matter_n and_o manner_n of_o your_o handle_n and_o present_v of_o grievance_n as_o for_o the_o manner_n though_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o you_o represent_v the_o body_n of_o the_o people_n may_v as_o it_o be_v both_o opportunè_fw-la and_o inopportunè_fw-la i_o mean_v either_o in_o parliament_n as_o a_o body_n or_o out_o of_o parliament_n as_o private_a man_n present_v your_o grievance_n unto_o i_o yet_o will_v i_o have_v you_o to_o use_v this_o caution_n in_o your_o behaviour_n in_o this_o point_n which_o be_v that_o your_o grievance_n be_v not_o as_o it_o be_v greedy_o seek_v out_o by_o you_o or_o take_v up_o in_o the_o street_n as_o one_o say_v thereby_o to_o show_v a_o willingness_n that_o you_o will_v have_v a_o show_n make_v that_o there_o be_v many_o abuse_n in_o the_o government_n and_o many_o cause_n of_o complaint_n but_o that_o according_a to_o your_o first_o institution_n you_o shall_v only_o meddle_v with_o such_o grievance_n as_o yourselves_o do_v know_v have_v need_n of_o reformation_n or_o have_v information_n thereof_o in_o your_o country_n for_o which_o you_o serve_v and_o not_o so_o to_o multiply_v they_o as_o may_v make_v it_o noise_v among_o the_o people_n that_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o government_n be_v amiss_o and_o out_o of_o frame_n for_o even_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o very_a session_n of_o parliament_n the_o general_a name_n of_o grievance_n be_v mention_v among_o you_o such_o a_o conceit_n come_v in_o the_o head_n of_o many_o that_o you_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o multiply_v and_o

which_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o thank_v you_o of_o the_o low_a house_n i_o mean_v for_o your_o fire_n work_v wherein_o i_o confess_v you_o do_v honour_n to_o i_o and_o right_a to_o yourselves_o for_o have_v one_o afternoon_n find_v many_o grievance_n close_o present_v in_o paper_n and_o so_o all_o thrust_v up_o in_o a_o sack_n together_o rather_o like_o pasquil_n than_o any_o lawful_a complaint_n far_o against_o your_o own_o order_n and_o diverse_a of_o they_o proceed_v from_o grudge_v and_o murmur_a spirit_n you_o upon_o the_o hear_v read_v two_o or_o three_o of_o the_o first_o line_n of_o diverse_a of_o they_o be_v not_o content_a with_o a_o public_a consent_n to_o condemn_v they_o and_o to_o discharge_v any_o further_o read_v of_o they_o but_o you_o also_o make_v a_o public_a bonfire_n of_o they_o in_o this_o i_o say_v you_o show_v your_o care_n and_o jealousy_n of_o my_o honour_n and_o i_o send_v you_o thanks_n for_o it_o by_o the_o chancellor_n of_o the_o exchequer_n a_o member_n of_o your_o own_o house_n who_o by_o your_o appointment_n that_o same_o night_n acquaint_v i_o with_o your_o proceed_n and_o by_o he_o also_o i_o promise_v at_o that_o time_n that_o you_o shall_v hear_v more_o of_o my_o thanks_n for_o the_o same_o at_o the_o first_o occasion_n and_o now_o i_o tell_v you_o it_o myself_o that_o you_o may_v know_v how_o kind_o i_o take_v your_o dutiful_a behaviour_n in_o this_o case_n but_o since_o this_o be_v a_o good_a effect_n of_o a_o evil_a cause_n i_o must_v not_o omit_v also_o to_o admonish_v you_o upon_o the_o other_o part_n to_o take_v a_o course_n among_o yourselves_o to_o prevent_v the_o like_a accident_n in_o all_o time_n hereafter_o otherwise_o the_o low_a house_n may_v become_v a_o place_n for_o pasquil_n and_o at_o another_o time_n such_o grievance_n may_v be_v cast_v in_o among_o you_o as_o may_v contain_v treason_n or_o scandal_n against_o i_o or_o my_o posterity_n therefore_o in_o this_o case_n look_v over_o your_o ancient_a order_n &_o follow_v they_o and_o suffer_v not_o hereafter_o
will_v never_o go_v and_o as_o he_o have_v promise_v i_o to_o take_v no_o other_o jurisdiction_n to_o himself_o so_o be_v it_o my_o promise_n ever_o to_o maintain_v this_o jurisdiction_n in_o that_o court_n therefore_o i_o speak_v this_o to_o vindicate_v that_o court_n from_o misconceipt_n and_o contempt_n it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o judge_n to_o punish_v those_o that_o seek_v to_o deprave_v the_o proceed_n of_o any_o the_o king_n court_n and_o not_o to_o encourage_v they_o any_o way_n and_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o think_v it_o a_o odious_a and_o inept_v speech_n and_o it_o grieve_v i_o very_o much_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v in_o westminster_n hall_n that_o a_o praemunire_n lie_v against_o the_o court_n of_o the_o chancery_n and_o officer_n there_o how_o can_v the_o king_n grant_v a_o praemunire_n against_o himself_o it_o be_v a_o foolish_a inept_v and_o presumptuous_a attempt_n and_o fit_a for_o the_o time_n of_o some_o unworthy_a king_n understand_v i_o aright_o i_o mean_v not_o the_o chancery_n shall_v exceed_v his_o limit_n but_o on_o the_o other_o part_n the_o king_n only_o be_v to_o correct_v it_o and_o none_o else_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_v great_o abuse_v in_o that_o attempt_n for_o if_o any_o be_v wrong_v there_o the_o complaint_n shall_v have_v come_v to_o i_o none_o of_o you_o but_o will_v confess_v you_o have_v a_o king_n of_o reasonable_a

against_o the_o chancery_n which_o i_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o do_v because_o no_o praemunire_n can_v be_v sue_v but_o at_o my_o suit_n and_o i_o may_v just_o bar_v myself_o at_o my_o own_o

the_o realm_n and_o bishop_n the_o peer_n be_v there_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o greatness_n to_o give_v authority_n to_o that_o court_n the_o bishop_n because_o of_o their_o learning_n in_o

practice_v in_o government_n be_v conjoin_v together_o in_o the_o proceed_n of_o this_o court_n there_o be_v no_o kingdom_n but_o have_v a_o court_n of_o equity_n either_o by_o itself_o as_o be_v

more_o perfect_a where_o they_o be_v divide_v and_o as_o in_o case_n of_o equity_n where_o the_o law_n determine_v not_o clear_o there_o the_o chancery_n do_v determine_v have_v equity_n belong_v to_o

proper_o to_o the_o peer_n and_o judge_n of_o this_o court_n to_o punish_v it_o so_o than_o this_o court_n be_v institute_v for_o so_o great_a cause_n it_o be_v great_a reason_n it_o shall_v have_v great_a honour_n remember_v now_o how_o i_o have_v teach_v you_o brotherly_o love_v one_o towards_o another_o for_o you_o know_v well_o that_o as_o you_o be_v judge_n you_o be_v all_o brethren_n and_o your_o court_n be_v sister_n i_o pray_v you_o therefore_o labour_v to_o keep_v that_o sweet_a harmony_n which_o be_v among_o those_o sister_n the_o muse_n what_o great_a misery_n can_v there_o be_v to_o the_o law_n than_o contempt_n of_o the_o law_n and_o what_o ready_a way_n to_o contempt_n then_o when_o question_n come_v what_o shall_v be_v determine_v in_o this_o court_n and_o what_o in_o that_o whereupon_o two_o evil_n do_v arise_v the_o one_o that_o man_n come_v not_o now_o to_o court_n of_o justice_n to_o hear_v matter_n of_o right_n plead_v and_o decree_v give_v according_o but_o only_o out_o of_o a_o curiosity_n to_o hear_v question_n of_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o court_n dispute_v and_o to_o see_v the_o event_n what_o court_n be_v like_a to_o prevail_v above_o the_o other_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o plea_n be_v turn_v from_o court_n to_o court_n in_o a_o endless_a circular_a motion_n as_o upon_o ixion_n wheel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o find_v just_a fault_n with_o that_o multitude_n of_o prohibition_n for_o when_o a_o poor_a minister_n have_v with_o long_a labour_n and_o great_a expense_n of_o charge_n and_o time_n get_v a_o sentence_n for_o his_o tithe_n then_o come_v a_o prohibition_n and_o turn_v he_o round_o from_o court_n to_o court_n and_o so_o make_v his_o cause_n immortal_a and_o endless_a for_o by_o this_o uncertainty_n of_o jurisdiction_n among_o court_n cause_n be_v scourge_v from_o court_n to_o court_n and_o this_o make_v the_o fruit_n of_o suit_n like_o tantalus_n fruit_n still_o near_o the_o

this_o be_v for_o you_o to_o keep_v your_o own_o bound_n and_o nourish_v not_o the_o people_n in_o contempt_n of_o other_o court_n but_o teach_v they_o reverence_v to_o court_n in_o your_o public_a

that_o evil_o shall_v not_o be_v do_v that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o the_o wickedness_n therefore_o of_o the_o king_n can_v never_o make_v they_o that_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v judge_v by_o he_o

the_o sword_n to_o the_o magistrate_n how_o much_o less_o be_v it_o lawful_a to_o the_o people_n or_o any_o part_n of_o they_o who_o all_o be_v but_o private_a man_n the_o authority_n be_v always_o with_o the_o magistrate_n as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v to_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sword_n who_o to_o it_o belong_v not_o against_o the_o public_a magistrate_n who_o to_o

to_o all_o the_o insolence_n that_o disorder_a people_n can_v commit_v by_o hope_n of_o impunity_n because_o of_o the_o looseness_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o next_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o a_o

and_o passion_n carry_v he_o away_o where_o by_o the_o contrary_a no_o king_n be_v nothing_o be_v unlawful_a to_o none_o and_o so_o the_o old_a opinion_n of_o the_o philosopher_n prove_v true_a that_o better_a it_o be_v to_o live_v in_o a_o commonwealth_n where_o nothing_o be_v lawful_a then_o where_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a to_o all_o man_n the_o commonwealth_n at_o that_o time_n resemble_v

some_o spot_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n then_o in_o pretend_v to_o reform_v utter_o to_o overthrow_v the_o republic_n the_o second_o objection_n they_o ground_n upon_o the_o curse_n that_o hang_v over_o the_o commonwealth_n where_o a_o wicked_a king_n reign_v and_o say_v they_o there_o can_v be_v a_o more_o acceptable_a deed_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n nor_o more_o dutiful_a to_o their_o

to_o shake_v off_o that_o curse_n at_o their_o own_o hand_n which_o god_n have_v lay_v on_o they_o that_o i_o deny_v and_o may_v so_o do_v just_o will_v any_o deny_v that_o the_o king_n of_o babel_n

which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o all_o the_o success_n of_o battle_n as_o well_o as_o other_o worldly_a thing_n lie_v only_o in_o god_n hand_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o scripture_n he_o take_v to_o himself_o the_o style_n of_o god_n of_o host_n but_o upon_o that_o general_a to_o conclude_v that_o he_o ever_o give_v victory_n to_o the_o just_a

than_o their_o father_n must_v bring_v they_o up_o to_o london_n because_o the_o new_a fashion_n be_v to_o be_v have_v no_o where_o but_o in_o london_n and_o here_o if_o they_o be_v unmarried_a they_o

be_v one_o of_o the_o rich_a part_n of_o it_o that_o all_o the_o gentry_n dwell_v in_o the_o principal_a town_n and_o so_o the_o whole_a country_n be_v empty_a even_o so_o now_o in_o england_n all_o

shall_v fall_v out_o as_o be_v late_o see_v by_o the_o leveller_n gather_v together_o what_o order_n can_v be_v take_v with_o it_o when_o the_o country_n be_v unfurnished_a of_o gentleman_n to_o
