the_o kingdom_n and_o not_o by_o the_o country_n and_o these_o maxim_n be_v not_o alone_o take_v for_o law_n but_o also_o all_o other_o like_o case_n and_o all_o thing_n necessary_o follow_v upon_o

number_v among_o the_o aforesaid_a general_n custom_n since_o ancient_a custom_n be_v the_o sole_a authority_n as_o well_o of_o these_o as_o those_o yet_o because_o those_o general_n custom_n be_v

their_o force_n from_o the_o maxim_n aforesaid_a or_o the_o ancient_a custom_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o some_o maxim_n seem_v to_o be_v found_v upon_o reason_n secundary_a and_o therefore_o some_o may_v think_v they_o may_v be_v put_v unto_o the_o first_o fundamental_a of_o other_o law_n of_o england_n as_o if_o any_o command_v a_o trespass_n he_o be_v a_o trespassor_n etc._n etc._n and_o

nor_o the_o law_n of_o god_n although_o they_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o aforesaid_a general_n custom_n and_o maxim_n of_o law_n yet_o they_o retain_v the_o force_n of_o law_n and_o they_o ought_v not_o always_o to_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o judge_n whether_o there_o be_v such_o a_o custom_n or_o not_o unless_o in_o a_o few_o particular_a custom_n sufficient_o know_v and_o approve_v in_o the_o king_n court_n but_o aught_o to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o country_n and_o of_o these_o particular_a custom_n i_o shall_v put_v a_o few_o for_o example_n as_o there_o be_v a_o custom_n call_v

if_o he_o do_v it_o be_v void_a in_o law_n neither_o may_v he_o in_o such_o case_n make_v a_o release_n thus_o be_v hold_v many_o other_o particular_a custom_n the_o six_o fundamental_a consist_v of_o

be_v expedient_a o●_n not_o expedient_a for_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o come_v to_o consider_v and_o speak_v of_o conscience_n which_o be_v a_o word_n compound_v of_o cum_fw-la &_o scientia_fw-la and_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v knowledge_n of_o one_o thing_n with_o another_o and_o be_v thus_o say_v to_o consi●●_n in_o two_o thing_n knowledge_n by_o himself_o and_o knowledge_n with_o another_o in_o the_o first_o conscience_n import_v a_o certain_a natural_a act_n not_o of_o know_v only_o but_o move_v also_o and_o also_o incline_v the_o soul_n to_o

reason_n which_o be_v call_v synderesis_fw-la therefore_o st._n jerom_n and_o other_o call_v conscience_n itself_o synderesis_fw-la and_o then_o conscience_n itself_o be_v always_o right_a in_o the_o second_o place_n conscience_n import_v more_o proper_o knowledge_n with_o another_o thing_n still_o with_o some_o particular_a act_n and_o thus_o conscience_n proper_o speak_v be_v no_o other_o

or_o science_n and_o the_o right_a application_n of_o that_o knowledge_n to_o some_o particular_a act_n follow_v the_o most_o pure_a perfect_a and_o best_a conscience_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o

and_o as_o synderesis_fw-la deliver_v a_o universal_a maxim_n or_o principle_n in_o which_o it_o can_v err_v scilicet_fw-la that_o a_o unlawful_a thing_n be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v now_o it_o may_v

that_o place_n of_o scripture_n with_o other_o in_o which_o a_o oath_n be_v allow_v to_o be_v lawful_a and_o the_o reason_n why_o conscience_n may_v err_v in_o the_o aforesaid_a assumption_n and_o the_o like_a be_v because_o conscience_n be_v form_v from_o the_o assumption_n of_o some_o particular_a proposition_n or_o question_n under_o universal_a rule_n of_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v and_o as_o the_o light_n of_o a_o candle_n be_v put_v in_o a_o house_n that_o they_o may_v see_v what_o thing_n be_v i●_n the_o house_n so_o god_n have_v place_v conscience_n in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o

weigh_v all_o circumstance_n temper_v with_o the_o sweetness_n of_o mercy_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o every_o law_n and_o this_o he_o well_o understand_v who_o say_v ipsae_fw-la eteni●_n

inj●stitia_fw-la fit_n but_o that_o we_o may_v more_o clear_o declare_v what_o equity_n be_v it_o be_v to_o be_v know_v that_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o institute_v any_o general_a rule_n of_o law_n which_o will_v in_o no_o case_n be_v defective_a therefore_o legislator_n attend_v to_o that_o which_o happen_v in_o many_o thing_n and_o not_o to_o particular_a case_n nor_o indeed_o can_v they_o since_o to_o observe_v the_o sentence_n of_o law_n in_o some_o case_n be_v both_o against_o the_o equality_n of_o justice_n and_o common_a good_a so_o that_o in_o some_o case_n it_o be_v good_a yea_o absolute_o necessary_a praetermit_v the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n to_o follow_v that_o which_o reason_n of_o justice_n require_v and_o to_o this_o end_n equity_n be_v ordain_v which_o be_v also_o call_v epicaya_n scilicet_fw-la to_o moderate_v the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n and_o it_o take_v not_o away_o the_o very_a right_n but_o that_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v right_o by_o general_a determination_n of_o law_n and_o case_n may_v happen_v in_o which_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n will_v be_v violate_v by_o the_o observance_n of_o they_o as_o in_o the_o law_n of_o england_n there_o be_v a_o general_a prohibition_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v lawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o ground_n of_o another_o without_o authority_n of_o the_o owner_n or_o of_o the_o law_n yet_o it_o be_v except_v that_o if_o beast_n by_o the_o highway_n escape_v into_o another_o man_n corn_n he_o that_o drive_v they_o may_v justify_v the_o entry_n to_o fetch_v they_o out_o and_o many_o other_o such_o like_a and_o thus_o it_o appear_v that_o equity_n rather_o attend_v the_o intention_n than_o the_o word_n of_o law_n and_o thus_o have_v brief_o
