nation_n of_o this_o great_a alteration_n of_o the_o law_n and_o except_o man_n have_v sufficient_a notice_n some_o good_a time_n before_o this_o great_a change_n come_v that_o so_o they_o may_v if_o possible_a altar_n and_o obtain_v other_o security_n than_o now_o they_o have_v the_o loss_n and_o complaint_n will_v be_v very_o many_o and_o great_a for_o the_o person_n be_v common_o the_o best_a and_o in_o many_o case_n the_o only_a security_n so_o that_o this_o sudden_a intend_a alteration_n will_v not_o only_o weaken_v all_o man_n security_n but_o quite_o destroy_v all_o the_o security_n that_o many_o have_v 15._o if_o the_o person_n may_v not_o be_v attach_v the_o plaintiff_n will_v be_v put_v to_o find_v out_o the_o defendant_n estate_n which_o will_v be_v a_o great_a trouble_n and_o in_o many_o case_n can_v be_v do_v 16._o a_o very_a great_a part_n of_o our_o land_n be_v copy-hold-tenure_n and_o not_o liable_a to_o pay_v debt_n nor_o can_v be_v without_o manifest_a wrong_a to_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o manor_n and_o another_o great_a part_n be_v land_n either_o entail_v that_o the_o heir_n be_v not_o liable_a or_o else_o be_v make_v over_o to_o other_o upon_o consideration_n and_o if_o the_o person_n may_v not_o be_v attach_v the_o creditor_n can_v have_v little_a and_o where_o there_o be_v land_n and_o the_o plantiffe_n have_v a_o judgement_n he_o can_v have_v but_o the_o moiety_n which_o do_v seldom_o satisfy_v 17._o it_o be_v injustice_n to_o protect_v any_o man_n person_n from_o pay_v a_o just_a debt_n for_o no_o man_n may_v protect_v another_o from_o make_v good_a his_o own_o bargain_n and_o contract_n without_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n 18._o it_o will_v easy_o appear_v that_o arrest_n for_o debt_n and_o for_o other_o thing_n be_v grant_v upon_o the_o people_n petition_n for_o the_o common_a good_a find_v a_o necessity_n of_o it_o for_o the_o promote_a of_o trade_n and_o avoid_v of_o collusion_n among_o themselves_o 19_o there_o be_v no_o process_n that_o will_v so_o much_o keep_v the_o people_n to_o their_o contract_n and_o promise_n and_o that_o without_o delay_n and_o before_o judgement_n can_v be_v obtain_v as_o the_o process_n of_o arrest_n do_v be_v the_o most_o coerceive_a way_n and_o that_o which_o do_v over-awe_n the_o worst_a of_o man_n 20._o to_o exempt_v the_o person_n from_o arrest_n will_v much_o gratify_v that_o sort_n of_o people_n who_o want_v honesty_n to_o pay_v their_o debt_n and_o will_v be_v glad_a that_o their_o person_n may_v be_v free_a they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v nothing_o beforehand_o lest_o the_o creditor_n shall_v find_v any_o thing_n whereas_o the_o fear_n of_o a_o prison_n or_o arrest_v will_v make_v they_o follow_v their_o calling_n spend_v less_o and_o save_v something_o to_o pay_v their_o debt_n 21._o if_o the_o person_n may_v not_o be_v attach_v servant_n will_v grow_v licentious_a man_n will_v have_v liberty_n to_o quarrel_n fight_n and_o commit_v trespass_n and_o despise_v the_o magistrate_n and_o all_o good_a government_n more_o than_o ever_o they_o have_v whereas_o the_o law_n do_v never_o protect_v any_o man_n person_n that_o do_v not_o keep_v the_o peace_n 22._o by_o exemption_n from_o arrest_n a_o very_a great_a part_n if_o not_o the_o half_a of_o this_o nation_n that_o have_v neither_o land_n nor_o other_o visible_a estate_n to_o answer_v their_o undertaking_a can_v neither_o borrow_v money_n nor_o trade_n nor_o be_v compel_v to_o do_v what_o the_o law_n require_v of_o they_o 23._o at_o gen●va_n

the_o creditor_n have_v seize_v upon_o all_o the_o estate_n and_o have_v not_o satisfaction_n he_o may_v keep_v the_o debtor_n in_o prison_n if_o he_o will_v nor_o be_v the_o present_a government_n in_o new_a england_n without_o arrest_n where_o every_o court_n have_v minister_n of_o justice_n to_o attach_v and_o fetch_v person_n before_o the_o magistrate_n 24._o there_o be_v never_o any_o

man_n not_o to_o pay_v his_o debt_n object_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a trouble_n to_o get_v man_n person_n attach_v and_o therefore_o the_o intent_n be_v but_o to_o take_v

difficult_a after_o judgement_n to_o arrest_v then_o before_o and_o more_o unsafe_a for_o the_o plaintiff_n to_o rest_v upon_o that_o because_o the_o defendant_n have_v notice_n of_o the_o judgement_n and_o may_v have_v time_n easy_o absent_v himself_o and_o therefore_o upon_o the_o first_o arrest_n which_o common_o be_v not_o know_v before_o hand_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o plaintiff_n the_o common_a law_n do_v provide_v that_o the_o defendant_n shall_v if_o the_o plaintiff_n and_o the_o cause_n require_v it_o give_v sufficient_a bail_n that_o if_o judgement_n pass_v against_o he_o than_o
