the_o king_n himself_o have_v a_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n wherein_o it_o seem_v that_o he_o sit_v in_o person_n for_o the_o word_n be_v let_v he_o not_o seek_v the_o king_n and_o last_o that_o the_o same_o court_n of_o the_o king_n do_v judge_v not_o only_o according_a to_o mere_a right_n and_o law_n but_o also_o after_o equity_n and_o good_a conscience_n for_o first_o the_o word_n be_v unless_o he_o can_v find_v right_o at_o home_n by_o which_o it_o be_v permit_v that_o then_o he_o may_v use_v to_o go_v to_o the_o king_n for_o right_n second_o again_o if_o that_o right_o be_v too_o heavy_a then_o let_v he_o seek_v to_o the_o king_n etc._n etc._n whereby_o it_o be_v mean_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n mitigate_v by_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o after_o this_o order_n and_o in_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o court_n be_v all_o justice_n administer_v until_o the_o time_n of_o king_n william_n the_o conquerour●_n during_o who_o reign_n as_o also_o under_o the_o government_n of_o king_n rufus_n his_o son_n it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o justice_n be_v great_o disturb_v as_o well_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o intestine_a and_o sorraign_a war_n as_o also_o because_o that_o these_o two_o prince_n govern_v by_o a_o mere_a and_o absolute_a power_n as_o in_o a_o realm_n obtain_v by_o conquest_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v so_o far_o off_o that_o any_o of_o they_o do_v utter_o abolish_v these_o court_n that_o the_o same_o do_v not_o only_o remain_v during_o all_o their_o time_n howsoever_o put_v to_o silence_n for_o the_o season_n but_o also_o have_v continuance_n afterward_o and_o do_v yet_o as_o they_o may_v here_o bear_v life_n among_o we_o for_o as_o i_o say_v those_o base_a court_n of_o the_o shire_n hundred_o borough_n and_o manor_n do_v yet_o continue_v in_o manuer_n the_o same_o in_o substance_n that_o they_o then_o be_v and_o that_o the_o plea_n ought_v no_o more_o to_o be_v take_v from_o then_o now_o in_o our_o day_n without_o cause_n than_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v may_v evident_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o writ_n of_o tolt_n pone_fw-la accedas_fw-la ad_fw-la curiam_fw-la and_o recordari_fw-la uhich_v we_o now_o yet_o use_v and_o that_o to_o this_o only_a end_n to_o remove_v suit_n upon_o cause_n out_o of_o one_o court_n into_o another_o the_o like_a i_o may_v also_o affirm_v of_o that_o high_a court_n which_o then_o follow_v the_o king_n himself_o for_o albeit_o that_o many_o particular_a high_a court_n be_v now_o since_o that_o time_n advance_v by_o reason_n that_o the_o multitude_n of_o suit_n still_o increase_v with_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o age_n of_o the_o world_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o all_o to_o be_v order_v in_o one_o place_n without_o both_o into_o ler●ble_a delay_n of_o matter_n and_o grievous_a vexation_n of_o man_n yet_o nevertheless_o if_o you_o will_v thorough_o behold_v the_o matter_n and_o subject_n about_o which_o all_o these_o court_n be_v now_o occupy_v you_o shall_v perceive_v that_o they_o be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v so_o many_o branch_n spring_v up_o out_o of_o that_o one_o
