A84200	The exact law--giver faithfully communicating to the skilfull the firm basis and axioms of their profession. To the ignorant their antient and undoubted birthrights and inheritances. Being as a light unto all the professors of the law, as well counsellors as atturneys, clerks, soliciters, scriveners, &c. Or a manu-ductio, or a leading, as it were, by the hand, all such, both of the gentry or laity (as desire to be instructed how to gain or preserve their estates from the hands of their cruell adversaries) to the perfect knowledg of the common and statute law of this nation.		1658 (1658)	Wing E3652; Thomason E2128_1; ESTC R201913	81,570	230

how_o then_o shall_v the_o learned_a counsellor_n be_v able_a to_o distinguish_v right_a from_o wrong_n until_o it_o be_v know_v what_o can_v be_v allege_v and_o prove_v by_o either_o party_n how_o

this_o objection_n will_v be_v invalid_a if_o we_o consider_v how_o tender_a our_o judge_n be_v of_o the_o reputation_n of_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o law_n by_o brand_a as_o it_o be_v with_o

the_o law_n and_o this_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o one_o of_o our_o famous_a judge_n and_o for_o the_o attorney_n or_o practiser_n they_o be_v common_o cast_v over_o the_o bar_n and_o detain_v
