service_n be_v able_a to_o continue_v the_o renown_n which_o this_o kingdom_n have_v obtain_v in_o all_o age_n of_o be_v esteem_v victorious_a second_o his_o majesty_n say_a attorney_n general_a do_v discourse_n touch_v the_o cause_n and_o remedy_n of_o this_o mischief_n that_o prevail_v so_o in_o these_o time_n show_v the_o ground_n thereof_o to_o be_v a_o false_a and_o erroneous_a imagination_n of_o honour_n and_o credit_n according_a to_o the_o term_n which_o be_v give_v unto_o those_o duel_n by_o a_o former_a proclamation_n of_o his_o majesty_n which_o call_v they_o bewitch_a duel_n for_o that_o it_o be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o kind_n of_o sorcery_n which_o enchant_v the_o spirit_n of_o young_a man_n which_o bear_v great_a mind_n with_o a_o show_n of_o honour_n in_o that_o which_o be_v no_o honour_n indeed_o be_v against_o religion_n law_n moral_a virtue_n and_o against_o the_o precedent_n and_o example_n of_o the_o best_a time_n and_o valiant_a nation_n of_o the_o world_n which_o though_o they_o excel_v for_o prowess_n and_o military_a virtue_n in_o a_o public_a quarrel_n yet_o know_v not_o what_o these_o private_a duel_n mean_v say_v further_a that_o there_o be_v too_o much_o way_n and_o countenance_n give_v unto_o these_o duel_n by_o the_o course_n that_o be_v hold_v by_o nobleman_n and_o gentleman_n in_o compound_v of_o quarrel_n who_o use_v to_o stand_v too_o punctual_o upon_o conceit_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o distinction_n what_o be_v before_o hand_n and_o what_o behind_o hand_n which_o do_v but_o feed_v the_o humour_n add_v likewise_o that_o it_o be_v no_o fortitude_n to_o show_v valour_n in_o a_o quarrel_n except_o there_o be_v a_o just_a and_o worthy_a ground_n of_o the_o quarrel_n but_o that_o it_o be_v weakness_n to_o set_v a_o man_n life_n at_o so_o mean_v a_o rate_n as_o to_o bestow_v it_o upon_o trifle_a occasion_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v rather_o offer_v up_o and_o sacrifice_v to_o honourable_a service_n public_a merit_n good_a cause_n and_o noble_a adventure_n and_o as_o concern_v the_o remedy_n he_o conclude_v that_o the_o only_a way_n be_v that_o the_o state_n will_v declare_v a_o constant_a and_o settle_a

then_o every_o particular_a man_n will_v think_v himself_o acquit_v in_o his_o reputation_n when_o that_o he_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o state_n take_v his_o honour_n into_o their_o hand_n and_o stand_v between_o he_o and_o any_o interest_n or_o prejudice_n which_o he_o may_v receive_v in_o his_o reputation_n for_o obey_v whereunto_o he_o add_v likewise_o that_o the_o wise_a and_o mild_a way_n to_o suppress_v these_o duel_n be_v rather_o to_o punish_v in_o this_o court_n all_o the_o act_n of_o preparation_n which_o do_v in_o any_o wise_a tend_v to_o the_o duel_n as_o this_o of_o

do_v by_o many_o reason_n which_o he_o bring_v and_o allege_v free_a the_o law_n of_o england_n from_o certain_a vain_a and_o childish_a exception_n which_o be_v take_v by_o these_o duelist_n the_o one_o because_o the_o law_n make_v no_o difference_n in_o punishment_n between_o a_o insidious_a and_o foul_a murder_n and_o the_o kill_n of_o a_o man_n upon_o challenge_n and_o fair_a term_n as_o they_o call_v it_o the_o other_o for_o that_o the_o law_n have_v not_o provide_v sufficient_a punishment_n and_o reparation_n for_o contumely_n of_o word_n as_o the_o lie_n and_o the_o like_a wherein_o his_o majesty_n say_a attorney_n general_a do_v show_v by_o many_o weighty_a argument_n and_o example_n that_o the_o law_n of_o england_n do_v consent_n with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n in_o both_o those_o point_n and_o that_o this_o distinction_n in_o murder_n between_o foul_a and_o fair_a and_o this_o ground_v of_o mortal_a quarrel_n upon_o uncivil_a and_o reproachful_a word_n or_o the_o like_a disgrace_n be_v never_o authorise_v by_o any_o law_n or_o ancient_a example_n but_o it_o be_v a_o late_a vanity_n creep_v in_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o french_a who_o themselves_o since_o have_v be_v so_o weary_a of_o it_o as_o they_o have_v be_v force_v to_o put_v it_o down_o with_o all_o severity_n four_o his_o majesty_n say_a attorney_n general_n do_v prove_v unto_o the_o court_n by_o rule_n of_o law_n and_o precedent_n that_o this_o court_n have_v capacity_n to_o punish_v send_v and_o accept_v of_o challenge_n though_o they_o be_v never_o act_v nor_o execute_v take_v for_o a_o ground_n infallible_a that_o wheresoever_o a_o offence_n be_v capital_a or_o matter_n of_o felony_n if_o it_o be_v act_v and_o perform_v there_o the_o conspiracy_n combination_n or_o practice_v tend_v to_o the_o same_o offence_n be_v punishable_a as_o a_o high_a misdemeanour_n although_o they_o never_o be_v perform_v and_o therefore_o that_o practice_n to_o impoison_v though_o it_o take_v no_o effect_n and_o the_o like_a have_v be_v punish_v in_o this_o court_n and_o cite_v the_o precedent_n in_o garnons_n case_n wherein_o a_o crime_n of_o a_o much_o inferior_a nature_n the_o suborn_n and_o prepare_v of_o witness_n though_o they_o never_o be_v depose_v or_o depose_v nothing_o material_a be_v censure_v in_o this_o court_n whereupon_o he_o conclude_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o every_o appointment_n of_o the_o field_n be_v in_o law_n but_o a_o combination_n of_o plot_v of_o a_o murder_n howsoever_o man_n may_v guild_v it_o that_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o case_n fit_a for_o the_o censure_n of_o this_o court_n and_o therein_o he_o vouch_v a_o precedent_n in_o the_o very_a point_n that_o in_o a_o case_n between_o wharton_n plaintiff_n and_o elerker_n and_o acklam_n defendant_n acklam_n be_v a_o follower_n of_o elerker_n have_v carry_v a_o challenge_n unto_o wharton_n and_o although_o it_o be_v by_o word_n of_o mouth_n and_o not_o by_o writing_n yet_o it_o be_v severe_o sensure_v by_o the_o court_n the_o decree_n have_v word_n that_o such_o challenge_n do_v tend_v to_o the_o subversion_n of_o government_n and_o therefore_o his_o majesty_n attorney_n will_v the_o standard_n by_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v no_o innovation_n that_o he_o bring_v in_o but_o a_o proceed_n according_a to_o former_a precedent_n of_o the_o court_n although_o he_o purpose_v to_o follow_v it_o more_o thorough_o than_o have_v be_v do_v ever_o heretofore_o because_o the_o time_n do_v more_o &_o more_o require_v it_o last_o his_o maieesties_n say_a attorney_n general_a do_v declare_v and_o publish_v to_o the_o court_n in_o several_a article_n his_o purpose_n and_o resolution_n in_o what_o case_n he_o do_v intend_v to_o prosecute_v offence_n of_o that_o nature_n in_o this_o court_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v appoint_v the_o field_n although_o the_o fight_n be_v not_o act_v or_o
