A80408	Redintegratio amoris, or A union of hearts, between the Kings most excellent Majesty, the Right Honorable the Lords and Commons in Parliament, His Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax, and the Army under his command; the Assembly, and every honest man that desires a sound and durable peace, accompanied with speedy justice and piety. By way of respective apologies, so far as Scripture and reason may be judges. / By John Cook of Grayes-Inne, Barrester.

for_o quick_a and_o cheap_a justice_n will_v do_v it_o abundant_o that_o the_o poor_a may_v have_v justice_n for_o god_n sake_n and_o the_o rich_a for_o reasonable_a consideration_n the_o favourite_n of_o state_n have_v always_o magnify_v the_o happiness_n of_o english_a man_n above_o all_o other_o nation_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o assize_n that_o twice_o a_o year_n queen_n justice_n ride_v her_o

money_n for_o little_a or_o no_o consideration_n matter_n of_o the_o crown_n only_o except_v and_o why_o more_o haste_n to_o hang_v a_o man_n for_o steal_v a_o sheep_n then_o to_o help_v a_o poor_a man_n to_o his_o just_a debt_n for_o what_o a_o charge_n be_v it_o to_o try_v a_o nisi_fw-la prius_fw-la and_o when_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v try_v the_o party_n be_v never_o the_o near_o judgement_n be_v far_o of_o the_o defendant_n may_v die_v or_o else_o writ_n of_o error_n bring_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o behold_v so_o much_o to_o the_o law_n as_o to_o a_o good_a purse_n to_o obtain_v his_o right_n therefore_o this_o i_o will_v humble_o beg_v of_o the_o parliament_n for_o the_o present_a because_o to_o settle_v a_o court_n of_o judicature_n in_o every_o county_n will_v require_v time_n and_o much_o wisdom_n to_o foresee_v and_o prevent_v subsequent_a inconvenience_n that_o the_o reverent_a judge_n may_v every_o circuit_n if_o possible_o to_o begin_v this_o summer_n

such_o as_o fear_v rather_o the_o overthrow_n of_o their_o own_o profit_n more_o than_o they_o value_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n for_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o cry_v out_o for_o quick_a and_o

i_o can_v easy_o refute_v it_o if_o this_o be_v grant_v as_o a_o maxim_n of_o state_n that_o the_o public_a good_a and_o quiet_a of_o many_o be_v to_o be_v preserve_v before_o the_o private_a profit_n of_o a_o few_o say_v not_o that_o i_o shall_v hereby_o wrong_v my_o own_o profession_n it_o be_v all_o one_o if_o i_o do_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o public_a good_a but_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n lawyer_n will_v get_v more_o by_o speedy_a justice_n for_o who_o have_v not_o rather_o give_v his_o council_n 40._o s._n to_o end_v his_o business_n in_o a_o day_n then_o attend_v many_o

and_o commodity_n which_o they_o now_o spend_v in_o lawsuit_n but_o i_o hope_v time_n will_v make_v we_o wise_a but_o then_o come_v the_o old_a objection_n will_v you_o have_v all_o thing_n arbitrary_a and_o uncertain_a nothing_o less_o but_o every_o controversy_n to_o be_v end_v according_a to_o reason_n and_o every_o former_a precedent_n and_o judgement_n to_o be_v authentical_a and_o bind_v so_o far_o as_o there_o be_v reason_n for_o it_o and_o not_o otherwise_o the_o contrary_a practice_n be_v as_o dangerous_a to_o the_o state_n as_o implicit_a faith_n in_o matter_n of_o salvation_n for_o i_o will_v but_o ask_v this_o question_n if_o a_o judge_n believe_v in_o his_o conscience_n that_o former_a precedent_n be_v against_o reason_n whether_o if_o he_o observe_v they_o he_o do_v not_o therein_o condemn_v himself_o but_o if_o he_o see_v reason_n for_o the_o judgement_n than_o it_o be_v his_o own_o judgement_n that_o lead_v he_o and_o not_o the_o bare_a authority_n of_o his_o predecessor_n but_o it_o will_v be_v allege_v that_o reason_n be_v malleable_a and_o one_o reason_n may_v be_v bring_v against_o another_o true_o in_o matter_n of_o moral_a justice_n it_o be_v hard_a to_o imagine_v any_o great_a difficulty_n that_o cause_n which_o at_o first_o be_v a_o bulrush_n come_v to_o be_v a_o giant_n difference_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v plain_a and_o very_o easy_a at_o the_o first_o beginning_n of_o the_o suit_n but_o when_o by_o motion_n upon_o motion_n the_o cause_n be_v put_v out_o of_o its_o course_n the_o matter_n grow_v so_o intricate_a that_o a_o poor_a client_n can_v scarce_o get_v out_o of_o the_o labyrinth_n but_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o every_o rational_a man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o understand_v the_o reason_n of_o a_o law-case_n but_o that_o that_o can_v be_v give_v law_n when_o there_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n to_o be_v give_v against_o it_o as_o put_v the_o case_n there_o be_v a_o verdict_n for_o a_o just_a debt_n now_o whatsoever_o can_v be_v allege_v that_o such_o a_o process_n do_v not_o issue_v regular_o yet_o reason_n say_v that_o the_o debt_n ought_v to_o be_v present_o pay_v and_o this_o can_v be_v no_o more_o call_v confusion_n than_o mithridate_n deserve_v the_o name_n of_o poison_n and_o now_o if_o i_o shall_v proceed_v methodical_o i_o shall_v argue_v whether_o the_o parliament_n have_v sufficient_a ground_n to_o raise_v army_n as_o they_o do_v but_o that_o be_v but_o to_o argue_v whether_o the_o protestant_n or_o the_o papist_n be_v of_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o next_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o what_o those_o just_a ground_n and_o argument_n be_v but_o that_o will_v savour_v of_o presumption_n have_v be_v so_o full_o and_o ungainsaying_o declare_v by_o both_o house_n and_o may_v be_v unsafe_a if_o i_o shall_v omit_v any_o and_o at_o the_o best_a prove_v tedious_a to_o the_o reader_n my_o desire_n be_v not_o to_o build_v upon_o any_o man_n foundation_n nor_o to_o bring_v argument_n which_o have_v be_v expose_v to_o public_a view_n already_o though_o i_o judge_v they_o better_o than_o my_o own_o yet_o it_o be_v but_o a_o kind_n of_o cozenage_n to_o the_o reader_n to_o invite_v he_o to_o make_v several_a purchase_n of_o the_o same_o matter_n a_o trick_n more_o common_a than_o commendable_a in_o this_o print_n age_n yet_o something_o i_o must_v say_v concern_v those_o matter_n which_o be_v this_o that_o the_o argument_n and_o motive_n which_o sway_v i_o to_o adhere_v so_o cordial_o and_o constant_o to_o the_o parliament_n against_o the_o late_a oxford_n party_n be_v rather_o scripture_n ground_n and_o reason_n of_o state_n and_o self_n preservation_n than_o lawcase_n and_o print_a authority_n for_o i_o always_o conceive_v that_o the_o king_n be_v oblige_v to_o call_v parliament_n as_o often_o as_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o people_n beseech_v he_o and_o to_o dissolve_v they_o till_o the_o parliament_n say_v omne_fw-la bene_fw-la be_v
