britain_n but_o with_o several_a proviso_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o intromit_v themselves_o but_o within_o their_o several_a precinct_n 4._o nobility_n for_o the_o nobility_n the_o consideration_n thereof_o will_v fall_v into_o these_o question_n the_o first_o of_o their_o vote_n in_o parliament_n which_o be_v touch_v before_o what_o proportion_n they_o shall_v bear_v to_o the_o nobility_n of_o england_n wherein_o if_o the_o proportion_n which_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a be_v not_o full_a yet_o your_o majesty_n may_v out_o of_o your_o prerogative_n supply_v it_o for_o although_o you_o can_v make_v few_o of_o scotland_n yet_o you_o may_v make_v more_o of_o england_n the_o second_o be_v touch_v the_o place_n and_o precedence_n wherein_o to_o marshal_v they_o according_a to_o the_o precedence_n of_o england_n in_o your_o majesty_n style_n and_o according_a to_o the_o nobility_n of_o ireland_n that_o be_v all_o english_a earl_n first_o and_o then_o scot_n will_v be_v think_v unequal_a for_o scotland_n to_o marshal_v they_o according_a to_o antiquity_n will_v be_v think_v unequal_a for_o england_n because_o i_o hear_v their_o nobility_n be_v general_o more_o ancient_a and_o therefore_o the_o question_n will_v be_v whether_o the_o indifferent_a way_n be_v not_o to_o take_v they_o interchangeable_o as_o for_o example_n first_o the_o ancient_a earl_n of_o england_n and_o then_o the_o ancient_a earl_n of_o scotland_n and_o so_o alternis_fw-la vicibus_fw-la 5._o law_n for_o the_o law_n to_o make_v a_o entire_a and_o perfect_a union_n it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a difficulty_n and_o length_n both_o in_o the_o collect_v of_o they_o and_o in_o the_o pass_n of_o they_o for_o first_o as_o to_o the_o collect_v of_o they_o there_o must_v be_v make_v by_o the_o lawyer_n of_o either_o nation_n a_o digest_v under_o title_n of_o their_o several_a law_n and_o custom_n as_o well_o common_a law_n as_o statute_n that_o they_o may_v be_v collate_v and_o compare_v and_o that_o the_o diversity_n may_v appear_v and_o be_v discern_v of_o and_o for_o the_o pass_n of_o they_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o patrius_fw-la mos_fw-la be_v dear_a to_o all_o man_n and_o that_o man_n be_v breed_v and_o nourish_v up_o in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o how_o harsh_a change_n and_o innovation_n be_v and_o we_o see_v likewise_o what_o disputation_n and_o argument_n the_o alteration_n of_o some_o one_o law_n do_v cause_n and_o bring_v forth_o how_o much_o more_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o whole_a corpse_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o first_o question_n will_v be_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o proceed_v by_o part_n and_o to_o take_v that_o that_o be_v most_o necessary_a and_o leave_v the_o rest_n to_o time_n the_o part_n therefore_o or_o subject_n of_o law_n be_v for_o this_o purpose_n fitly_a distribute_v according_a to_o that_o ordinary_a didivision_n of_o criminal_a and_o civil_a and_o those_o of_o criminal_a cause_n into_o capital_a and_o penal_a the_o second_o question_n therefore_o be_v allow_v the_o general_a union_n of_o law_n to_o be_v too_o great_a a_o work_n to_o embrace_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a that_o case_n capital_a be_v the_o same_o in_o both_o nation_n i_o say_v the_o case_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o proceed_n or_o trial_n that_o be_v to_o say_v whether_o the_o same_o offence_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v make_v treason_n or_o felony_n in_o both_o place_n the_o three_o question_n be_v whether_o case_n penal_a though_o not_o capital_a yet_o if_o they_o concern_v the_o public_a state_n or_o otherwise_o the_o discipline_n of_o manner_n be_v not_o fit_a likewise_o to_o be_v bring_v into_o one_o degree_n as_o the_o case_n of_o misprision_n of_o treason_n the_o case_n of_o praemunire_n the_o case_n of_o fugitive_n the_o case_n of_o incest_n the_o case_n of_o simony_n and_o the_o rest_n but_o the_o question_n that_o be_v more_o urgent_a than_o any_o of_o these_o be_v whether_o these_o case_n at_o the_o least_o be_v they_o of_o a_o high_a or_o inferior_a degree_n wherein_o the_o fact_n commit_v or_o act_n do_v in_o scotland_n may_v prejudice_v the_o state_n and_o subject_n of_o england_n or_o è_fw-la conuerso_fw-la be_v not_o to_o be_v reduce_v to_o one_o uniformity_n of_o law_n and_o punishment_n as_o for_o example_n a_o perjury_n commit_v in_o a_o court_n of_o justice_n in_o scotland_n can_v be_v prejudicial_a in_o england_n because_o deposition_n take_v in_o scotland_n can_v be_v produce_v and_o use_v here_o in_o england_n but_o a_o forgery_n of_o a_o deed_n in_o scotland_n i_o mean_v with_o a_o false_a date_n of_o england_n may_v be_v use_v and_o give_v in_o evidence_n in_o england_n so_o likewise_o the_o depopulate_v of_o a_o town_n in_o scotland_n do_v not_o direct_o prejudice_v the_o state_n of_o england_n but_o if_o a_o english_a merchant_n shall_v carry_v silver_n and_o gold_n into_o scotland_n as_o he_o may_v and_o thence_o transport_v it_o into_o foreign_a part_n this_o prejudice_v the_o state_n of_o england_n and_o may_v be_v a_o evasion_n to_o all_o the_o law_n of_o england_n ordain_v in_o that_o case_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n to_o be_v bridle_v with_o as_o severe_a a_o law_n in_o scotland_n as_o it_o be_v here_o in_o england_n of_o this_o kind_n there_o be_v many_o law_n the_o law_n of_o the_o 50._o of_o rich._n the_o 2._o of_o go_v over_o without_o licence_n if_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a law_n in_o scotland_n will_v be_v frustrate_v and_o evade_v for_o any_o

ordnance_n artillery_n corn_n &_o c._n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o correspondence_n of_o law_n in_o scotland_n will_v in_o like_a manner_n be_v delude_v and_o frustrate_a for_o any_o english_a

to_o foreign_a part_n without_o any_o peril_n of_o law_n so_o libel_n may_v be_v devise_v and_o write_v in_o scotland_n and_o publish_v and_o scatter_v in_o england_n treason_n may_v be_v plot_v in_o

in_o england_n whereof_o we_o be_v here_o ignorant_a whether_o there_o be_v or_o no_o it_o will_v be_v a_o gap_n or_o stop_n even_o for_o english_a subject_n to_o escape_v and_o avoid_v the_o law_n of_o england_n but_o for_o treason_n the_o best_a be_v that_o by_o the_o statute_n of_o 26._o king_n hen._n the_o 8_o the_o cap._n 13._o any_o treason_n commit_v in_o scotland_n may_v be_v proceed_v

process_n and_o other_o administration_n of_o law_n to_o make_v any_o alteration_n in_o either_o nation_n it_o will_v be_v a_o thing_n so_o new_a and_o unwonted_a to_o either_o people_n that_o it_o

and_o uncertain_a and_o beside_o i_o do_v not_o see_v that_o the_o severalty_n of_o administration_n of_o justice_n though_o it_o be_v by_o court_n sovereign_a of_o last_o resort_n i_o mean_v without_o appeal_n or_o error_n be_v any_o impediment_n at_o all_o to_o the_o union_n of_o a_o kingdom_n as_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n in_o the_o several_a court_n of_o parliament_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o france_n and_o i_o have_v be_v always_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n do_v already_o fetch_v justice_n somewhat_o far_o off_o more_o than_o in_o any_o nation_n that_o i_o know_v the_o largeness_n of_o the_o kingdom_n consider_v though_o it_o be_v holpen_v in_o some_o part_n by_o the_o circuit_n of_o the_o judge_n and_o the_o two_o council_n at_o york_n and_o in_o the_o march_n of_o wales_n establish_v but_o it_o may_v be_v a_o good_a question_n whether_o as_o commune_v vinculum_fw-la of_o the_o justice_n of_o both_o nation_n your_o majesty_n shall_v not_o erect_v some_o court_n about_o your_o person_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o grand_a council_n of_o france_n to_o which_o court_n you_o may_v by_o way_n of_o evocation_n draw_v cause_n from_o the_o ordinary_a judge_n of_o both_o nation_n for_o so_o do_v the_o french_a king_n from_o all_o the_o court_n of_o parliament_n in_o france_n many_o of_o which_o be_v more_o
have_v be_v allege_v to_o ensue_v if_o we_o shall_v give_v way_n to_o this_o naturalisation_n which_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v find_v not_o to_o be_v so_o great_a as_o they_o have_v be_v make_v

which_o evermore_o follow_v of_o too_o much_o generality_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o i_o before_o i_o proceed_v to_o persuasion_n to_o use_v some_o distribution_n of_o the_o point_n or_o part_n of_o

the_o other_o part_n the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v that_o there_o may_v ensue_v of_o this_o naturalisation_n a_o surcharge_n of_o people_n upon_o this_o realm_n of_o england_n which_o be_v suppose_v

of_o those_o that_o be_v native_a subject_n of_o this_o realm_n a_o grave_a objection_n mr._n speaker_n and_o very_o dutiful_a for_o it_o proceed_v not_o of_o any_o unkindness_n to_o the_o scot_n
