A09106 A quiet and sober reckoning vvith M. Thomas Morton somewhat set in choler by his aduersary P.R. concerning certaine imputations of wilfull falsities obiected to the said T.M. in a treatise of P.R. intituled Of mitigation, some part wherof he hath lately attempted to answere in a large preamble to a more ample reioynder promised by him. But heere in the meane space the said imputations are iustified, and confirmed, & with much increase of new vntruthes on his part returned vpon him againe: so as finally the reconing being made, the verdict of the Angell, interpreted by Daniel, is verified of him. There is also adioyned a peece of a reckoning with Syr Edward Cooke, now L. Chief Iustice of the Co[m]mon Pleas, about a nihil dicit, & some other points vttered by him in two late preambles, to his sixt and seauenth partes of Reports. Parsons, Robert, 1546-1610. 1609 (1609) STC 19412; ESTC S114160 496,646 773

&_o how_o it_o be_v first_o ordain_v by_o s._n edwa●d_n before_o the_o conquest_n and_o be_v ground_v upon_o mercy_n when_o a_o man_n have_v commit_v felony_n and_o flee_v to_o a_o church_n or_o churchyard_n for_o safety_n of_o his_o life_n and_o do_v choose_v rather_o perpetual_a banishment_n then_o to_o stand_v to_o the_o law_n so_o as_o abiurance_n by_o the_o old_a law_n of_o england_n be_v at_o t●e_v election_n of_o the_o offender_n and_o not_o at_o ●he_n will_v of_o the_o prince_n and_o afterward_o the_o say_a stanford_n show_v for_o what_o offence_n in_o particular_a a_o m●n_z

his_o say_a book_n of_o the_o plea_n of_o the_o crown_n fol._n 182._o intend_v to_o set_v down_o all_o offence_n of_o treason_n which_o be_v either_o by_o the_o common-law_n or_o statute-law_n do_v not_o rela●e_v any_o such_o matter_n to_o be_v treason_n as_o the_o bring_n into_o the_o realm_n bull_n of_o excommunication_n by_o one_o subject_n against_o a_o other_o which_o he_o will_v never_o have_v conceal_v if_o he_o have_v find_v it_o hold_v for_o such_o in_o any_o law_n book_n before_o he_o 87._o the_o three_o reason_n be_v to_o the_o same_o effect_n that_o the_o statute_n of_o 25._o ed._n 3._o be_v make_v for_o declaration_n of_o treason_n do_v ●et_o down_o what_o offence_n be_v treason_n by_o the_o common_a law_n in_o this_o statute_n i_o say_v no_o mention_n at_o all_o be_v

to_o touch_v or_o mention_n if_o any_o such_o thing_n have_v be_v ●_o 88_o the_o four_o reason_n and_o most_o concludent_fw-la be_v that_o we_o read_v in_o many_o book_n of_o law_n as_o 31._o ed._n

if_o it_o have_v be_v treason_n by_o the_o common-law_n neither_o will_v any_o counsel_n have_v presume_v to_o plead_v the_o same_o so_o often_o in_o the_o say_a court_n if_o there_o have_v be_v such_o peril_n or_o offence_n therein_o at_o that_o time_n as_o m._n attorney_n now_o pretend_v 10._o neither_o do_v the_o authority_n of_o brook_n here_o cite_v by_o m._n attorney_n patronize_v he_o in_o his_o voluntary_a mistake_n &_o misconstrue_v of_o the_o law-book_n a_o foresay_a for_o that_o brook_n do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o bull_n be_v judge_v treason_n by_o law_n as_o m._n attorney_n do_v but_o on●y_n make_v this_o note_n so_o see_v punishment_n of_o that_o before_o the_o statute_n of_o praemunire_n which_o make_v nothing_o for_o m._n attorn_a purpose_n and_o

wherefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o in_o this_o first_o case_n m._n attorney_n have_v sundry_a way_n deal_v unsincer_o and_o go_v about_o to_o deceive_v his_o reader_n make_v he_o believe_v
