cause_v to_o be_v in_o substance_n observe_v both_o in_o what_o concern_v the_o crown_n and_o the_o subject_a though_o he_o introduce_v several_a new_a form_n in_o the_o administration_n or_o

the_o burrough_n law_n which_o be_v the_o great_a security_n that_o have_v be_v invent_v by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o saxon_a ancestor_n for_o the_o peace_n and_o order_n of_o the_o realm_n the_o

have_v be_v a_o institution_n very_o ancient_a among_o the_o saxon_n and_o to_o have_v be_v derive_v and_o observe_v during_o the_o whole_a succession_n of_o the_o english_a king_n and_o even_o in_o

of_o the_o asiatic_a goth_n or_o getae_n into_o europe_n and_o the_o founder_n of_o that_o mighty_a kingdom_n round_o the_o baltic_a sea_n from_o whence_o all_o the_o gothick_n government_n in_o these_o northwest_o part_v of_o the_o world_n be_v derive_v by_o the_o spread_a conquest_n of_o those_o northern_a race_n it_o be_v record_v that_o upon_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o expedition_n he_o ordain_v a_o council_n of_o twelve_o man_n who_o shall_v judge_v and_o decide_v all_o matter_n that_o come_v in_o question_n and_o there_o be_v then_o no_o other_o law_n establish_v among_o those_o vast_a number_n of_o rough_a people_n go_v to_o seek_v out_o new_a conquest_n and_o thereby_o seat_n to_o inhabit_v it_o be_v probable_a these_o twelve_o man_n judge_v all_o case_n upon_o evidence_n

twelve_o man_n be_v at_o first_o both_o juror_n and_o judge_n their_o judgement_n in_o cause_n both_o real_a and_o criminal_a be_v general_o approve_v as_o just_a and_o equitable_a grow_v into_o
