the_o statute_n it_o be_v plain_o ordain_v that_o all_o the_o judge_n and_o minister_n of_o his_o majesty_n law_n within_o this_o realm_n judge_n and_o decide_v according_a to_o this_o statute_n and_o no_o other_o way_n how_o oft_o that_o question_n shall_v be_v move_v but_o i_o know_v some_o will_v build_v much_o or_o rather_o in_o effect_n overthrow_v all_o by_o these_o subsequent_a word_n in_o the_o case_n foresay_a to_o the_o which_o i_o answer_v it_o lack_v alanerly_a but_o i_o will_v not_o trouble_v your_o ll._n to_o dispute_v upon_o such_o pen-dashes_a whether_o they_o have_v be_v by_o

thus_o i_o reason_n every_o judge_n imitate_v a_o just_a and_o equitable_a sentence_n judge_v right_o but_o every_o judge_n judge_v according_a to_o this_o sentence_n imitate_v a_o just_a and_o equitable_a sentence_n ergo_fw-la the_o major_n be_v clear_a the_o minor_a shall_v be_v prove_v when_o i_o shall_v bear_v it_o publicklie_o deny_v what_o necessity_n be_v there_o then_o of_o any_o ordinance_n for_o imitation_n hereof_o even_o asmuch_o as_n if_o a_o command_n shall_v pass_v that_o fish_n shall_v not_o live_v without_o water_n for_o the_o natural_a element_n of_o a_o upright_a judge_n be_v equity_n whereof_o he_o be_v no_o soon_o sensible_a but_o with_o a_o gape_a greedy_a appetite_n he_o follow_v upon_o it_o thereby_o refresh_v his_o spirit_n and_o strengthen_v his_o

there_o be_v either_o law_n or_o reason_n for_o it_o let_v it_o so_o continue_v but_o if_o there_o be_v neither_o law_n nor_o reason_n for_o it_o reason_n it_o be_v reform_v for_o every_o use_n

for_o our_o father_n and_o therefore_o be_v tie_v if_o not_o by_o law_n at_o the_o least_o by_o example_n to_o pay_v tithe_n be_v say_v only_o to_o give_v the_o tithe_n of_o the_o spoil_n like_a as_o

tithing_n first_o begin_v to_o be_v in_o use_n hence_o it_o be_v easy_o conjecture_v that_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o this_o use_n to_o tith_z corn_n upon_o the_o ground_n both_o stock_n and_o

even_o in_o year_n of_o plenty_n where_o the_o ground_n also_o be_v fertile_a the_o three_o of_o the_o growth_n can_v hardly_o be_v make_v free_a to_o the_o landlord_n the_o second_o cause_n whereby_o this_o custom_n have_v be_v continue_v be_v the_o zeal_n of_o the_o people_n who_o be_v not_o only_o content_a to_o continue_v any_o custom_n for_o commodity_n of_o the_o churchman_n but_o even_o to_o

of_o their_o corn_n draw_v after_o this_o form_n yea_o many_o part_n be_v in_o use_n only_o to_o pay_v some_o small_a acknowledgement_n far_o short_a of_o the_o worth_n of_o the_o tithe_n of_o their_o
