civilian_n as_o be_v then_o all_o the_o cognizance_n of_o decimal_n case_n and_o question_n about_o matrimony_n incontinence_n canonical_a obedience_n and_o grant_v licence_n of_o many_o several_a sort_n be_v take_v away_o and_o therefore_o it_o remain_v that_o we_o must_v lessen_v our_o court_n as_o we_o have_v lessen_v the_o business_n appertain_v to_o our_o court_n or_o else_o our_o lawyer_n themselves_o will_v feel_v the_o inconvenience_n of_o it_o as_o well_o as_o client_n country_n practice_n add_v little_a to_o the_o skill_n and_o ability_n of_o our_o gownman_n wherefore_o when_o there_o be_v a_o scarcity_n of_o country_n practice_v too_o as_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v if_o no_o few_o than_o 20._o court_n be_v establish_v for_o so_o little_a business_n as_o be_v now_o remain_v the_o very_a number_n of_o professor_n will_v become_v a_o burden_n to_o the_o profession_n render_v they_o as_o indigent_a as_o it_o do_v illiterate_a 3._o this_o due_a reducement_n of_o civilian_n will_v be_v for_o the_o state_n ease_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o commodity_n of_o our_o long-robed_a gentleman_n for_o multiplicity_n of_o jurisdiction_n what_o by_o their_o own_o clash_n and_o what_o by_o the_o craft_n of_o their_o minister_n often_o beget_v multiplicity_n of_o needle_n suit_n and_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o more_o public_a and_o dangerous_a difference_n may_v be_v occasion_v by_o their_o dispute_a limit_n and_o division_n and_o all_o these_o will_v be_v damageable_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n if_o we_o calculate_v what_o the_o necessary_a charge_n will_v be_v of_o maintain_v twenty_o court_n as_o some_o propose_v in_o favour_n of_o civilian_n or_o what_o will_v maintain_v so_o many_o clerk_n and_o officer_n as_o there_o be_v county_n in_o england_n according_a to_o the_o proposal_n of_o the_o other_o side_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o will_v amount_v to_o no_o small_a value_n 4._o this_o just_a apportionment_n of_o civilian_n to_o the_o latitude_n of_o their_o business_n by_o bring_v with_o it_o a_o enlargement_n of_o benefit_n and_o subsistence_n to_o those_o few_o practiser_n which_o remain_v unreduce_v will_v enable_v they_o to_o serve_v the_o state_n more_o beneficial_o and_o cheap_o then_o their_o predecessor_n have_v do_v hitherto_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o same_o practice_n which_o with_o moderate_a fee_n will_v creditable_o and_o ample_o maintain_v twenty_o practiser_n will_v not_o maintain_v forty_o though_o they_o be_v permit_v to_o exact_a fee_n more_o immoderate_o it_o be_v propose_v therefore_o in_o behalf_n of_o this_o new_a settlement_n that_o the_o judge_n and_o their_o dependent_n above_o without_o any_o demand_n of_o new_a fee_n shall_v at_o their_o proper_a cost_n maintain_v and_o depute_v sufficient_a officer_n below_o in_o the_o chief_a town_n or_o city_n of_o each_o county_n that_o be_v distant_a above_o 60_o or_o 70_o mile_n from_o london_n to_o dispatch_v all_o such_o testamentary_a business_n there_o as_o be_v in_o common_a form_n and_o may_v be_v dispatch_v by_o letter_n and_o so_o save_o the_o great_a number_n of_o suitor_n their_o travail_n to_o london_n it_o be_v also_o undertake_v that_o the_o say_a deputy_n shall_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o poor_a sort_n do_v business_n gratis_o and_o neither_o take_v gratification_n nor_o reward_n where_o the_o inventory_n exceed_v not_o 10_o l._n and_o in_o all_o other_o dispatch_n of_o great_a value_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o same_o deputy_n part_v to_o transmit_v all_o thing_n up_o to_o london_n that_o deserve_v register_n and_o reserve_v without_o grate_v upon_o client_n likewise_o the_o same_o deputy_n if_o authority_n think_v fit_a which_o thus_o intend_v testamentary_a business_n below_o may_v find_v leisure_n and_o opportunity_n enough_o to_o keep_v authentical_a entires_fw-la and_o record_n of_o all_o other_o contract_n and_o solemn_a act_n betwixt_o party_n and_o party_n which_o deserve_v to_o be_v treasure_v up_o for_o public_a search_n how_o acceptable_a therefore_o such_o a_o settlement_n will_v be_v to_o the_o people_n when_o it_o shall_v speed_v all_o man_n business_n so_o compendious_o and_o the_o poor_n so_o gratuitous_o and_o how_o full_a of_o grace_n it_o will_v appear_v to_o the_o generality_n need_v not_o be_v further_o demonstrate_v 5._o hereby_o the_o excessive_a encumber_v and_o overcharge_v of_o our_o court_n at_o westminster_n with_o a_o surplusage_n of_o testamentary_a business_n not_o yet_o foresee_v by_o some_o practiser_n of_o the_o common_a law_n will_v be_v apt_o prevent_v it_o will_v be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o parliament_n to_o provide_v that_o we_o have_v neither_o too_o many_o court_n for_o our_o suit_n nor_o too_o many_o suit_n for_o our_o court_n both_o be_v attend_v with_o great_a inconvenience_n but_o the_o second_o with_o far_o great_a than_o the_o first_o some_o will_v have_v in_o every_o county_n a_o court_n and_o reduce_v we_o to_o the_o old_a manner_n of_o jurisdiction_n which_o be_v use_v in_o england_n long_o before_o the_o norman_a conquest_n when_o this_o be_v a_o cantonized_a country_n and_o obey_v several_a petty_a prince_n and_o this_o be_v press_v as_o very_a counsellable_a by_o that_o party_n which_o will_v cantonize_v we_o the_o second_o time_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v if_o this_o design_n prevail_v our_o quarrel_n and_o controversy_n will_v abound_v and_o increase_v upon_o we_o as_o fast_o as_o our_o judicatory_n do_v that_o fire_n which_o be_v now_o keep_v up_o in_o one_o hearth_n at_o westminster_n will_v be_v then_o scatter_v all_o over_o the_o house_n and_o so_o spread_v its_o flame_n much_o wide_a than_o before_o other_o objection_n lie_v against_o too_o many_o court_n espescial_o when_o they_o be_v attend_v with_o more_o illiterate_a judge_n and_o unexpert_a counsellor_n but_o the_o intent_n of_o this_o paper_n be_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v less_o public_a prejudice_n in_o too_o many_o court_n than_o in_o too_o few_o it_o be_v with_o the_o politic_a as_o with_o the_o natural_a body_n both_o find_v obstruction_n more_o fatal_a than_o flux_n and_o both_o receive_v more_o torture_n from_o a_o defect_n in_o the_o expulsive_a faculty_n then_o from_o a_o defect_n in_o the_o relentive_a faculty_n too_o much_o vexation_n from_o many_o court_n may_v be_v compare_v to_o a_o disentery_n but_o want_v of_o expedition_n by_o reason_n of_o too_o few_o court_n be_v like_o the_o nephriticall_a malady_n and_o kill_v we_o with_o pang_n inexpressible_a the_o parliament_n of_o late_a have_v take_v away_o half_o our_o court_n almost_o at_o westminster_n and_o thereby_o doubtless_o it_o have_v take_v away_o from_o among_o we_o many_o of_o our_o suit_n and_o law-question_n but_o it_o be_v as_o far_o out_o of_o doubt_n withal_o that_o all_o the_o difference_n that_o be_v former_o decide_v in_o those_o abolish_a court_n be_v not_o
