and_o allow_v it_o for_o truth_n that_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o law_n do_v excuse_v none_o of_o offence_n and_o also_o that_o the_o law_n do_v help_v the_o watchful_a and_o not_o the_o slothful_a man_n therefore_o it_o behove_v each_o person_n first_o to_o seek_v the_o knowledge_n of_o those_o law_n under_o which_o he_o do_v live_v and_o whereby_o he_o be_v to_o receive_v benefit_n or_o to_o sustain_v peril_n and_o next_o with_o all_o industry_n to_o frame_v his_o obedience_n unto_o they_o or_o humble_o to_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o censure_n of_o they_o and_o though_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o some_o man_n by_o the_o sluggishness_n of_o their_o nature_n other_o by_o the_o carelessness_n of_o their_o own_o welfare_n and_o a_o three_o sort_n whole_o give_v over_o to_o

ofttimes_o taste_v the_o smart_n of_o they_o and_o repent_v their_o folly_n when_o it_o be_v too_o late_o notwithstanding_o for_o that_o there_o be_v many_o other_o which_o do_v endeavour_n to_o read_v they_o and_o employ_v their_o industry_n to_o conceive_v they_o some_o for_o the_o increase_n of_o their_o knowledge_n other_o in_o their_o action_n to_o be_v direct_v by_o they_o and_o many_o for_o the_o eschew_v of_o the_o penalty_n of_o they_o &_o yet_o do_v not_o whole_o addict_v themselves_o to_o the_o study_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v to_o satisfy_v the_o

of_o the_o realm_n and_o to_o the_o dislike_n of_o all_o the_o good_a member_n thereof_o and_o what_o punishment_n she_o have_v impose_v upon_o the_o transgressor_n therein_o and_o by_o who_o &_o in_o what_o manner_n to_o be_v inflict_v if_o one_o man_n do_v pretend_v title_n unto_o &_o sue_v to_o recover_v any_o land_n lease_n or_o good_n of_o another_o all_o stranger_n stand_v indifferent_a and_o

their_o heart_n cry_v crucifige_fw-la upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o the_o crime_n aforesaid_a &_o such_o like_a may_v be_v term_v general_a offence_n partly_o for_o that_o they_o do_v redound_v to_o the_o general_a dislike_n of_o all_o the_o good_a member_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o partly_o for_o that_o they_o tend_v to_o the_o breach_n or_o blemish_n of_o the_o peace_n be_v a_o thing_n general_o
