Lord Treasurer the Lord Privy-Seal and the Lord Stanhope and by the Lord Popham Lord Tanfeild Sir Thomas Hesktâ— Serjeant Dodridge and Mr. Stephens The land allotted the Lady being sold for 7800 l. with 6500 l. thereof Barne-Elmes was purchased but Sir John being trusted by the Lady to go to Mr Stephens to draw the Conveyance went to other Councel and in the Clause where it should be freely at the Lady's disposal solely without Sir John â—he caused to be inserted these words that the Lady should have power to convey the same to such intents and purposes as by the said Elizabeth solely and without the said Sir John Kennedy by writing under her hand and Seal enrolled should be limited and appointed wherein besides the contradictoriness of the sense he caused in that Deed delivered the Lady the more to blind her Eyes Enrolled to be rased and made Indented Deed. 31. December 3d. Jac. 8. And after the rasure was found out then by his Deed Dat. 2. July 4. Jac. he the said Sir John did limit power to the Lady by her Deed Inrolled or not Inrolled to limit Uses The Lady hath been a suiter two Years if Sir John for saving his own credit will not confess matter to make a Divorce then that in course of Justice she may be admitted to her proof which for that it concerneth matter of state as is suggested she is denyed 1. And therefore she hopeth it is â—ut the same Equity to stay his proceedings touching her Estate against her or her Feoffees in Course of Justice considering it is not by her laches that the Marriage is not disproved until both the said causes having a dependency one upon another may be handled at this Board 2. The Course of Conveyance by Feoffees was by Honourable Personages grave Judges and learned Lawyers directed when the Lady was supposed the true Wife of Sir John and they held in Law and Equity sufficient and now à fortiorè it should be more sufficient she being none of his Wife if she may be admitted to proofs 3. Sir John hath already advanced himself by the sale of the Ladys Estate over and above the Purchase of Tonbridge which cost 8500 l. wherein he hath a Joynt Estate of Inheritance and all her Debts that he hath Paid 7700 l. 4. If the Course propounded at this Honourable Board shall not hold then will the Lady never assent to sell and so shall the Debts of the Lady before Marriage now resting unpaid being 2207 l. and Sir John's own Debts rest unsatisfied to the oppression and clamour of many poor men and the King still troubled with renewing his protections 5. If Sir John should proceed in Course of Justice and that the Conveyance made to Feoffees should not be held sufficient and strong enough to convey the same to the Lady yet Sir John can have but the profits thereof being but 300 l. and not that clear which is not able to pay half the Use of the Money 6. Besides before any Suite began the said Manner of Barne-Elms was for Valuable Consideration of money lent mortgaged and now resteth forfeited for non-payment of 2000 l. Whether an English Jurisdiction may disannul a Marriage made in Scotland A. B. a Scotch man in a Parish Church in Scotland publickly in the presence of the Congregation Solemnizeth Marriage with a Scotch-woman About six or seven years after the said Marriage the Scotch woman pretending that at the time of her Marriage she was but ten years old or at the most under twelve before certain Competent Judges in Scotland procureth a sentence of divorce to be given against the said A. B. whereby the Marriage between A. B. and her was promounced to be void and of no force and that she was at liberty to marry again to any other upon this ground that she was under twelve years of Age at the time of her Marriage and that she never consented thereto after she was twelve years old nor had Carnal knowledge from the said A. B. from which sentence no Appeal or provocation was made Afterwards the said A. B. coming into England did solemnize Marriage with an English Woman the Scottish Wife being then living after which Marriage the said A. B. and the English woman for certain years Cohabited together here in England as Man and Wife the said English woman being Ignorant of the Premises done in Scotland during the time of her cohabitation with the said A. B. the Scottish woman dyeth after whose Death the English woman being certified that A. B. had another Wife living when he married her so as he could not be her lawful Husband at the time of her Marriage the said A. B. and she dwelling both in England she refraineth from the company of A. B. and complaineth to the Eccleastical Judges in England haveing Jurisdiction in the place where the said A. B. and she dwelleth and craving Justice offereth to prove that the said A. B. and the said Scotish woman were lawful man and wife and after the said Marriage had Carnal knowledge of each other and that they cohabited together as man and wife five or six years after she was twelve years of Age admitting she had been under that age at the time of her Marriage and desireth to be admitted Judicially according to the ordinary course of Law to alleadge and prove her aforesaid assertions before the said Judges and upon proof thereof to have sentence for the nullity of her own Marriage according to Justice It is objected on the behalf of A. B. that she ought not to be admitted thereto for these causes viz because the Marriage with the Scottish woman was solemnized in Scotland the sentence of Divorce was given in Scotland by the Judges there where the Judges of England have no Jurisdiction nor Superiority over them that there was no appeal or provocation from that sentence that it was given by the Judges of an high Courtin Scotland from whence no appeal lyeth and that if the English womans Marriage should be proved void here in England the Justice of the Realm of Scotland may thereby seem to be taxed The Question is whether the Ecclesiastical Judges or Judge haveing Jurisdiction in the place in England where the said A. B. and the English woman dwell be competent Judges and may and ought at the Petition of the English woman to hear and determine this Cause of nullity of the Marriage between her self and A. B. notwithstanding the former objections We are of opinion without any doubt that the Ecclesiastical Judge haveing Jurisdiction in the place in England where the said A. B. and the said English woman dwell may and in Justice is bound at the Complaint of the said English woman to hear and determine the said Cause concerning the validity of her said Marriage and to pronounce the Marriage between her and A. B. to be void if she prove before him the matters by her alledged notwithstanding the aforesaid objections
Neither can the Justice of Scotland be thought to be Impeached thereby though upon sufficient proof made before the Judges here in England which was not made before the Judges in Scotland he giveth a Sentence which may seem repugnant to the Sentence given in Scotland Anno Dom. 1610. An. Jac. Reg. 8. Certain Points in Law and Reason whereby it may plainly appear that the Question between the Lady Kenneda and Sir John Kenneda concerning the validity of their Marriage may and ought by ordinary Court of Law be heard and determined before the Ecclesiastical Judges in England who have Jurisdiction in the places where they both dwell whereupon the Civilians have grounded their opinions given in this Case to that effect FIrst by Law and Reason there can fall out no Question or controversie between any Persons inhabiting in any Civil Common-wealth or State but the same must be decided by some Competent Judge or Judges who ought to have Authority to hear and determine the same or else there must needs ensue confusion and horror Secondly when any controversies happen between any Persons proceeding of any Contract whatsover and that require a Determination or ending by Judgment wheresoever the Contract was made Those Judges are by Law the Competent Judges to hear and determine that controversie who have Jurisdiction and Power in the place where both the parties or party defendent dwelleth to hear and determine Causes of that Nature Thirdly If there fall out any controversie between any two Persons the Defendent cannot be compelled to appear to answer the Plantiff but before the Judge of the place where the Defendent dwelleth and especially if the Plaintiff himself dwelleth under the same Jurisdiction Fourthly In all causes where there may ensue Peril of Soul and continuance of sin the Judge of the place ought of his Office to enquire thereof and redress the same though no man complain thereof Whereupon it followeth that the Ecclesiastical Judges here in England who have Authority to hear Causes of Matrimony are the competent udges and have poâ—er to hear and determine this matter of the lawfullness or unlawfullness of the Ladies Marriage and the rather for that the Ladies Marriage which is the Principal matter in Question was made and solemnized here in England If it be objected That because that Point whereupon the validity or invaliâ—ity of the Lady Kenneda's Marriage â—ependeth viz the Marriage between Sir â—ohn and Isabel Kenneda is already adâ—udged by a definitive Sentence long â—ince from which there hath been no Appeal or provocation and therefore it must barr the Lady We answer alâ—hough in causes of other Nature where no danger of sin might ensue though the sentence were against the Truth if a sentence be once lawfully given and not Appealed from in due time the matter cannot be called in question again Yet where a sentence is given to dissolve or annul a lawful Matrimony that sentence may at any time though never so long after be called in question and reversed whensoever it may be made to appear that the truth is contrary to that sentence and that may be done even by the party himself who obtained that sentence and therefore not only Sir John Kenneda but Isabel her self might have reversed that sentence proving the same was given by error Much less shall the Lady who was not Party to that suite be thereby debarred from proving the Nullity of her Marriage being a distinct cause from that And the reason of the difference between a sentence against a Matrimony and a sentence in another Cause is because in other causes where no fear is of sin or peril of soul to ensue the Parties may may by their agreement make what end of the business they list by Composition or other ways and therefore if they do not appeal from the sentence given against them they are thought by the consent to confirm the same but because a Marriage by Gods Law cannot be disolved by the agreement or consent of the Parties no sentence threin given against a Marriage contrary to the truth by error can by the Parties agreement be confirmed lest if it should be otherwise thereby they might by colour of the erroneous sentence marry other persons and live in Adultery Nay more if the Parties themselves thus erroneouâ—ly divorced contrary to the truth would hold themselves contented with the sentence If either of them marry any other person or they both live incontinently with other persons the Judge of that place where they inhabit may and ought of his own Office to inforce the Parties so by errour divorced to live together again as man and wife and seperate them from their second Spouses If it be objected that the sentence was given in another Country where the Judges of England have no jurisdiction and in an high Court from whence there lyeth no Appeal and that the Judges of England have no superiority to call their sentences in question and that herefore the Lady cannot call that divorce in question here We answer that the Principal cause in this case of the Ladies is not to reverse or call in question the sentence given in Scotland but the principal cause here is whether her Marriage made in England with Sir John be of validity or no for that as we say Sir John had another Wife living viz. Isabel Kenneda at the time of her Marriage without any mention to be made by the Lady of any sentence of divorce given in Scotland this Question of Divorce is brought in but incidently by Sir John in this Cause and also vainly and impertinently if it can be proved that the truth is contrary to that sentence For that sentence is in Law meerly void and cannot barr the Lady for the reasons before alledged and for that Ecclesia was decepta in giving of that sentence now when a sentence which is void in Law and especially against a Marriage is called in question but incidently before any Judge whatsoever though an inferior in a cause that doth principally belong to his jurisdiction That Judge may take knowledge of and incidently examine the validity of that sentence whether it were good or no by whom and wheresoever that sentence was given tho he were never so superior a Judge not to the end to reverse or expresly pronounce that sentence to be void or not void but as he findeth it by examination of the Cause to be good or void so to give sentence accordingly and determine the cause Principally depending before him without ever mentioning the erroneous sentence in his sentence Neither can the sentence given here for the Nullity of the Ladies Marriage upon other matter than was pleaded and proved before the Judges in Scotland although the same sentence had been principally called in question and directly pronounced to be void any wayes impeal the Justice of Scotland for sith Judges in all Courts and causes must Judge according to that which is alleadged and proved before them
under Gods favour we shall comfortably enjoy the same to us and our posterity for ever Next to Religion and peace with God we will Remember that Universal peace of State both at home and abroade which under your Christian and prudent Government we enjoy whereof we have the less reason to doubt any interruption when we behold the Greatness and reputation of your Majesties power and the goodness and Excellency of your Royal disposition whereof the latter is not like â—o give the cause or occasion and the â—ormer is likely to abate the Courage â—nd forces of any hostile attempts And â—astly we cannot but with unspeakable â—oy of heart consider of that blessing which having respect to later times in â—his state is rare and unwonted which â—s the blessed fruit and Royal Issue of â—ingular towardness and comfort which God hath given your Majesty with â—reat hope of many the like these being â—ndeed as arrows in the hand of the Mighty able to dant your Enemies â—nd to assure your loving subjects and â—o safe-guard your Royal person and to sheild and protect each other and to be a pledge to us and our posterity of future and perdurable felicity The benefits and blessings dread Soveraign amongst many others as we gladly acknowledge to your Majesties great honour and our great comfort So nevertheless having upon mature advice concluded to present to your Majesty a gift in proportion and speed of payment exceeding all former presidents of Parliament and the times of Peace considered we do further think fit to add and express those reasons special and extraordinary which have moved us hereunto lest the same our doing may be drawn into President to the prejudice of the State of our Countrey and our posterity A first and principal reason is thaâ— late and monstrous attempt of that cursed crew of desperate Papists to have destroyed your Excellent Majesty the Queen and your Royal Progeny together with the Reverend Prelates Nobility and Commons of this Land â—ssembled in Parliament to the great confusion if not subversion of this Kingdom the barbarous malice in â—ome unnatural subjects we have â—hought fit to check and encounter with the certain demonstration of the â—niversal and undoubted Love of your Loyal and Faithful Subjects not only for the present to breed in your Maâ—esty a more confident assurance of our uttermost aides in proceeding with a princely resolution to repress them and to furnish your Majesty against hostile attempts both by Sea and Land out also for the future times to give â—heir Patrons and partakers to understand that your Majesty can never want in this Kingdom meanes of defence of your rights revenge of your wrongs and support of your estate A second reason is that memorable benefice wherewith it hath pleased the Divine providence in great grace and favour to bless this Nation in your Majesties person by addition of another Kingdom whereby both ancient hostilities are quite extinguished and all footing and approaches of any For rainer in this Island are excluded and your Majesties other Dominions the more secured which happy event was nevertheless attended with sundry rare and necessary circumstances of charge now at your Majesties first entrance and setling such as the like hath not been in former times nor is like to be in suceeding ages A third and most urgent reason is the great and excessive charge which the unnatural Wars of Ireland newly finished before our late Renowned Queens decease did necessarily impose upon your Majesty by drawing with it a long traine of after expences even in your Majesties time till the peace thereof were throughly setled and assured which Kingdom is now since your Majesties time become in the vastest Province thereof capable of the plantation of Religion Justice Civilty and Population and may in longer time arise to be a most profitable and opulent member of your Imperial Crown A fourth reason ariseth from the great contentment and joye which we have in the remembrance of your Majestiâ— most gracious disposition to the good of your people testified as well at your first entrance into this Kingdom by your Princely care you took out of your own Royal mind to free them by your Proclamation from any burdens of Monopolies and other unlawful things which then remained in use as also of late your comfortable messages sent unto us dureing this Session of Parliament purporting the continuance of like gracious intention towards them where just occasion of grief should appear which joye of ours hath bred a desire in us to express in more then ordinary manner our extraordinary and humble thankes unto your Majesty for the same and to make it appear on our parts that we will at no time omit any Testimonies of Love and Duty toward your Majesty that may procure or deserve the perfecting and accomplishing of so Princely a work so well begun of Grace and favor towards us it being far from our dispositions to entertain any such unthankfulness into our hearts as not chearfully to assist with our goods and substance and all other duties of Subjects such a Soveraign by whom we find our selves so tenderly regarded Thus Gracious Soveraign out of those extraordinary Reasons and considerations as also out of our great Love and affection towards your Majesties person vertues and felicities we do with all humble and chearful affections present to your Majesty three subsidies and six Fifteenths and Tenths and we do most humbly beseech your Majesty that it may be enacted by Authority of this present Parliament in manner and form following Anno. Dom. 1605. An. Reg. Jac. 3. The Declarations of the opinions of the Non-conformists as it was delivered to King James himself on their behalf in the third year of his Reign 1. WE hold and maintain the same Authority and Supremacy in all causes and over all persons Civil or Ecclesiastical granted by Statute to Queen Elizabeth and expressed and declared in the Book of Advertisements and Injunctions and in Mr. Bilson against the Jesuites to be due in full and ample manner without any Limitation or Qualification to the King and his Heirs and Successors for ever neither is there to our knowledge any one of us but is and ever hath been most willing to subcribe and Swear unto the same according to form of Statute And desire that those that shall refuse the same may bear their own iniquitie That 2. We are so far from Judging the said Supremacy to be unlawful that we are perswaded that the King should sin highly against God if he should not assume the same unto himself and that the Churches within his Dominions should sin damnably if they should deny to yield the same unto him yea though the Statutes of the Kingdom should deny it unto him 3. We hold it plain Anti-Christianism for any Church or Church-Officers whatsoever either to arrogate or assume unto themselves any part or parcel thereof and utterly unlawful for the King to give away or
they assail me in my Strength and shall find my Deeds as ready and confident Justifications as my Words But it is not my Faith or Aspiring they here would bring in doubt they have a further Strain For as before they made my Name a Fume to disquiet the Head now they make it a Poyson to carry Infection into the Body For What is the Parliament but the Body of the Kingdom And why do they stain it with the hateful Name of Puritan but to make it odious to the King Indeed such Names help the Jesuits in Disputes of Religion when they are driven from all real Defences and would they practice this deploâ—able Art in the Matters of State if they were not in his Case that called Christ Galilean when he was vanquished by his Power For who knoweth not the Upper House of Parliament consisteth of all the Preâ—ates and Peers and the Nether House of near 500 Knights and Burgesses Elected and sent out of all Parts of â—he Kingdom And are all these Puâ—itans Do my Plots receive better Enâ—ertainment amongst them than with â—he Council of State And doth this reâ—roachful Comparison honour or disâ—onour those Able and Wise Men who are here presented to be well â—ffected to their Cause but their end â—as no Man's Honour It was to break â—he Parliament by setting Faction aâ—ongst the Members of both Houâ—es as well as with the Head and their â—and is most evident in misrepresenting the Case For where they say that almost every one of the Council both liked and allowed of the Propositions of the Catholick King and found therein no Cause to dissolve the Treaty They conceal that the Proposition was then made for the Palatinate alone supposing the Treaty of the Marriage should proceed And in that Case it mighâ— seem reasonable to very Wise Menâ— that the other Treaty should not bâ— broken off But in Parliament where both Parties come in Question together not one of those Able and Wise Men for they were all Memberâ— of the one House or the other dissented from the Council of dissolving them both The Altars of Provocation may then be objected to Worshippers of Saints or to them that appeal to their Idol at Rome and noâ— to Us who acknowledge no Sovereign upon Earth but our King to whom both Council of State and Parliament yield Odedience in all things How then may it be said thaâ— the Parliament is now above the King Or how can they hope that such shameless and impious Suggestions can make a prudent and good King jealous and doubtful of a most obsequious and dutiful People Especially at this time when it may truly be said That the Spirit of Wisdom in the Heart of the King hath wrought the Spirit of Unity in the Hearts of his Subjects which made the Success more happy than former Parliaments have had And this indeed is the matter which the Devil and they storm at For who can doubt that they and their Faction cannot endure without much trouble of Mind as they confess to see the weightiest Affairs and of greatest Moment to be now referred to the Censure of the Parliament when their fair Promises and Pretences can no longer prevail Yet let them tell us what greater and more Honourable Senate they have seen in Spain or elsewhere Besides Do not the very Writs for the Summons of Parliament express That is for the great and weighty Affairs of the Kingdom And have not our greatest and wisest Kings heretofore referred Treaties of Leagues of Marriages of Peace and War and of Religion it self to the Consultations of their Parliaments Those then that take upon them to undervalue this High Court do but expose their own Judgments to Censure and Contempt not knowing that Parliaments as they are the Honour and Support so they are the Hand-maids and Creatures of our Kings inspired formed and governed by their Power And if Charles the Fifth oâ— France by his Parliament of Paris recovered a great part of that Kingdom from this Crown and if Succeeding Kings there by the Assistance of that Court redeemed the Church from the Tyranny of the Pope We have no cause to doubt that our King by the Faithful Advice Assistance and Service of his Parliament shall be able both to recover the Palatinate which they here make so difficult and to protect our Neighbours and Allies and either to settle such a Peace as we really desire or to execute such Vengeance as God's Justice and their Sins shall for their Ambition assuredly draw upon them But they proceed and tell the King that it is said I have propounded many things to the Parliament in his Name without his Advice or Consent nay contrary to his Will And is not this to abuse the Ears and patience of a Prince to tell him many things are said and yet neither specifie the Matters nor the Men Or is not this to dally with my Name by Hear-says when with a harsh and incoherent Transition they suddenly fall upon â—he Prince who is the next true Mark their Malice shooteth at And when Malice it self cannot but acknowledge his Ingenuity and great Gifts and that in all things he shewâ—th himself an obedient and good â—on yet these Attributes they will â—eeds qualifie with a Nevertheless which cannot charge me as with a â—ault that I am confident in his Favour Or that I therefore despise all men to which Vice of all other my Nature is least inclin'd but indeed taxeth the Prince at least with participation of my ill Intentions by suffering me to make those persons subject to my Will which are most conformable to His. Whom they mean I know not but pray God that those Men they thus recommend to his Highness's neareâ— Trust prove not more dangerous to his Person than I have hitherto been refractory to his Will But having shot this Bolt they come back again to me as to their Stalking-horse to chuse a new Mark. And first for a preparative to the Prince Attention they wish that my Action were directed to his Good Then tâ— give at least some Varnish to theiâ— Work they tell him that good me believe meaning such as believe theâ— with an implicite Faith that I whâ— have imbroiled the Match with Spain will not be less able to break any other his Highness should affect iâ— which Speech if a Man will dive tâ— the Bottom of their Malice he must descend into Hell But for the Match with Spain can any man believe that his Majesty sent his Son that he went in Person that he both trusted Spain so far and did that Kingdom so much Honour and yielded to such Conditions or that I underwent that Hazard and Charge and pressed their King importuned his Favorite and Council and subjected my self to so many Indignities or that so great a Fleet even into their own Ports with Minds to interrupt or embroil or not rather to remove all Impediments to â—asten the Marriage and to bring â—ome
Palatinate which before â—ad been assumed as a divided Article â—ight now go hand in hand and to that effect he left the power of Desponâ—atories with the Ambassadors which was afterwards restrained and renewed and finally revoked as the confident or cold Answers out of Spain did require And this is the substance of that Negotiation The other particulars delivered in Parliament how they said and unsaid promised and denied remembred and forgot and plaid fast and loose at their pleasures and what indignities they put upon us I take no more pleasure to repeat than I did to suffer It sufficeth that by this which is said the Questions propounded by the Informers are answered First who they were that gave the first cause of distaste Secondly whether the Complaints against the King of Spain be true Thirdly whether thâ— King of Spain did desiâ—e to give satisfaction to the Prince And Fourthly whether he did faithfully endeavour the Marriage And if in any of these points any scruple doth remain for thâ— perfect discovery of their intentions anâ— proceedings the Letters produced by the Conde D'Olivares and read in Parliament will justifie my Report being as it were a Manifest from that King and his Councel that they never intended the Match nor held it lawfuâ— or convenient for that State and the King therein requiring some other way to be found to give without the Match contentment to the Prince whereby I make as little doubt of that Kings own Royal disposition and affection towards the Prince for all personal respects as I do of the insincerity of his Ministers in all their proceedings In the rest of my Indictments the Interrogatories which followed concerâ— for the most part my Behaviour toward the Prince whereunto I will not answer by Recrimination tho' I have a â—ge field nor by way of Defence â—d for these Reasons First in Persons â—hich they now I then did instance â—e reflexion of our faults upon the hoâ—ur of our Masters maketh the pubâ—â—hing as offensive as the Facts Seâ—ndly by giving Answer unto them â—at Charge but by Reports I shall â—eak my Duty to the Prince who â—est knoweth the Truth in these things â—ey object and if there had been cause â—ould have called me to an account â—nd Thirdly my purpose is not as I â—id to Apologize further than may â—ncern the interest of that Cause which â—rough my sides they have laboured â— wound For my self I know well â—at I shall stand or fall in the opiniâ—ns of wise men neither by the slanâ—ers of any be they never so great or by my verbal Justifications be they ever so confident but rather by the â—ctions and Carriage of my Life my â—irth Breeding and Fortune which â—ay happily raise me above base Imâ—utations and also give hopes of Aâ—endment if in ought I have done amiss As for the Conde D'Olivarâ— when he chargeth me with breach â— Faith towards him I will make hiâ— such Answer as may give him just coâ—tent And for revealing the Secreâ— Treaty for Holland I did it not witâ— out leave from the Prince nor till might appear that it was entertaine on our parts but for the Discovery â— the advantages they sought And this is all the Answer I wiâ— make to these unworthy Reproache raked out of the Channel to be caâ— in my Face only to Disfigure mâ— and then serve their turns with me iâ— what shape they please And so having used me as I said for theiâ— Stalking-horse from under my Shadow to shoot at other Games theâ— tell me they wish me well and turâ— me off to Grass yet in requital of theiâ— favour I will give them this Advicâ— before I go That the best way foâ— them and me to do the Christian worlâ— good which they seem to desire is tâ— persuade our Masters to moderatioâ— and peace and not to busie our selveâ— â—ith malitious aspersions upon the Aâ—ions of Princes or Parliaments or â—overnments wherein we have no skill â—or which fault of theirs I presume their â—ommission giveth no warrant And â—o ' my Master should think it punishâ—ent enough for them thus to dishoâ—our themselves and justifie mens comâ—aints against their unthankfulness â—alice where they have found so much â—espect yet let them take heed lest â—â—me occasion may not fall out to move â—heir own Masters to question them â—r this scandalous example which â—annot but reflect upon his own Goâ—ernment and State as having no preâ—edent in any former time Transcribed from the Original written with Sir Edward Coke Lord Chief Justice his own hand FINIS Books newly Printed for W.
