A79999	Englands compleat law-judge, and lawyer. Declared in these ensuing heads; 1. Whether that law and those judges and practizers owned time out of minde by the supreme authority of the nation, be not the laws, judges, and lawyers of this Common-wealth, &c. 2. Whether courts so constituted are not records of the nation. 3. Whether each court hath not power, as such, to enforce its owne decrees. 4. That the decrees and usages of such a court are as valid as of any court. 5. Whether it be not against reason, that when divers courts in the same nation act by divers lawes, one of the courts should have power to prohibit the other to proceed to bring the matters in difference before it self. 6. Concerning judges of appeale.	Cock, Charles George.; Paget, Thomas, d. 1660.	1655 (1655)	Wing C4788; Thomason E860_3; ESTC R206642	21,704	41

enough_o to_o clear_v up_o what_o the_o just_a and_o due_a intendment_n of_o law_n ought_v to_o be_v if_o court_n and_o judge_n be_v for_o justice_n sake_n and_o for_o the_o people_n benefit_n and_o quiet_a and_o not_o the_o contrary_a and_o if_o so_o i_o conceive_v it_o will_v follow_v from_o the_o premise_n that_o the_o subject_a and_o people_n of_o england_n have_v a_o right_n yea_o a_o birthright_n in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o so_o call_v civil_a law_n use_v in_o england_n equal_o with_o and_o in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o so_o call_v common_a law_n the_o whole_a make_v up_o but_o the_o law_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o people_n though_o by_o word_n according_a to_o the_o custom_n or_o mode_n of_o speech_n the_o same_o be_v various_o call_v and_o distinguish_v and_o consequent_o the_o judge_n of_o those_o court_n be_v judge_n of_o england_n and_o of_o the_o law_n of_o england_n and_o aught_o to_o have_v respect_n and_o esteem_v according_o and_o indeed_o deserve_v it_o for_o no_o man_n of_o ingenuity_n but_o will_v acknowledge_v though_o the_o mean_a barrister_n at_o law_n almost_o will_v not_o regard_v they_o their_o study_n be_v full_a of_o high_a and_o deep_a knowledge_n i_o know_o put_v those_o extremity_n together_o render_v the_o nation_n more_o glorious_a abroad_o and_o be_v so_o more_o universal_o beneficial_a indeed_o heretofore_o the_o judge_n be_v

the_o ordinary_n substitute_n be_v fore-clozed_n but_o now_o the_o prince_n wise_o give_v immediate_a power_n from_o himself_o lay_v a_o sure_a foundation_n of_o regard_n if_o meet_v encouragement_n follow_v from_o this_o it_o will_v be_v as_o clear_v that_o the_o doctor_n and_o practizer_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n have_v their_o due_a right_n to_o be_v hear_v not_o only_o in_o the_o court_n of_o

which_o the_o ancient_a sage_n of_o the_o law_n as_o occasion_n offer_v practise_v but_o to_o be_v admit_v to_o plead_v in_o the_o court_n of_o common_a law_n in_o such_o case_n as_o the_o sergeant_n and_o barrister_n at_o common_a law_n do_v and_o aught_o to_o do_v both_o in_o the_o admiralty_n and_o court_n of_o probates_n in_o case_n a_o question_n upon_o any_o statute_n or_o other_o part_n of_o the_o common_a law_n of_o england_n come_v in_o question_n and_o then_o much_o more_o where_o a_o question_n come_v whether_o the_o cognizance_n of_o the_o case_n belong_v to_o this_o or_o that_o

2._o head_n i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o head_n propose_v viz._n whether_o court_v who_o special_a know_a origination_n stand_v principal_o upon_o usage_n and_o allowance_n of_o the_o

of_o this_o nation_n and_o sit_v upon_o the_o bench_n of_o common_a law_n at_o westminster_n it_o will_v be_v labour_n in_o vain_a to_o make_v this_o a_o question_n but_o i_o shall_v wave_v those_o suggestion_n that_o i_o may_v not_o irritate_fw-la if_o possible_a and_o only_o discuss_v the_o case_n that_o the_o ground_n of_o thing_n may_v so_o appear_v that_o some_o judgement_n and_o

either_o definition_n or_o description_n of_o this_o great_a question_n what_o proper_o constitute_v a_o court_n of_o record_n and_o what_o be_v the_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a right_n power_n and_o privilege_n of_o such_o a_o court_n for_o their_o learning_n may_v be_v much_o but_o it_o be_v confuse_v and_o in_o a_o chaos_n for_o the_o generality_n and_o loath_a they_o be_v to_o have_v it_o model_v for_o common_a and_o general_a use_n i_o shall_v not_o attempt_v to_o discover_v the_o reason_n but_o only_a essay_n to_o clear_v up_o what_o i_o find_v of_o this_o one_o mark_n i_o find_v of_o a_o court_n of_o record_n be_v that_o it_o consist_v by_o matter_n of_o record_n or_o patent_n or_o grant_v of_o the_o prince_n but_o i_o conceive_v that_o be_v not_o demonstrative_a because_o that_o each_o court_n so_o constitute_v be_v not_o or_o will_v be_v allow_v of_o record_n another_o note_n i_o find_v to_o distinguish_v by_o be_v where_o a_o writ_n of_o error_n lie_v upon_o any_o judgement_n give_v in_o a_o inferior_a court_n it_o be_v a_o token_n the_o inferior_a court_n be_v a_o court_n of_o record_n but_o if_o a_o writ_n of_o false_a judgement_n than_o a_o base_a court_n so_o that_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o between_o court_n of_o record_n and_o inferior_a court_n but_o court_n of_o record_n and_o base_a court_n than_o the_o conclusion_n must_v be_v all_o court_n not_o base_a be_v of_o record_n but_o that_o will_v not_o be_v grant_v by_o the_o common_a lawyer_n for_o ancient_a demesne_n be_v not_o a_o base_a court_n if_o base_a be_v take_v proper_o for_o a_o court_n where_o base_a tenure_n be_v but_o if_o from_o the_o contrary_a you_o come_v to_o conclude_v all_o court_n not_o of_o record_n be_v base_a it_o be_v evident_o false_a if_o you_o take_v their_o own_o rule_n for_o whatever_o the_o civil_a law_n court_n may_v be_v esteem_v from_o the_o learning_n and_o pleader_n special_o use_v and_o employ_v in_o those_o court_n sure_o the_o court_n of_o chancery_n which_o they_o call_v in_o derision_n a_o paper_n court_n so_o that_o of_o request_n and_o other_o be_v not_o base_a take_v base_a from_o the_o subject_a matter_n there_o handle_v or_o inferiority_n of_o power_n and_o that_o as_o to_o the_o value_n or_o power_n to_o enforce_v obedience_n and_o the_o like_a these_o court_n though_o partly_o use_v rule_n of_o common_a partly_o of_o

of_o the_o civil_a law_n but_o will_v not_o be_v allow_v of_o record_n there_o be_v some_o other_o such_o note_n whereby_o you_o may_v if_o you_o can_v pick_v out_o what_o be_v a_o court_n of_o record_n but_o it_o be_v the_o safe_a way_n to_o conclude_v in_o this_o case_n as_o when_o the_o question_n be_v what_o be_v the_o original_a language_n and_o how_o many_o they_o be_v those_o and_o so_o many_o as_o the_o ancient_a learned_a author_n make_v they_o and_o better_o set_v down_o by_o that_o than_o dispute_n so_o they_o be_v those_o court_n and_o so_o many_o as_o the_o learned_a and_o

a_o learned_a author_n who_o seem_v to_o distinguish_v between_o a_o court_n of_o common_a law_n and_o a_o court_n of_o record_n i_o know_v well_o he_o intend_v a_o court_n that_o be_v by_o custom_n original_o not_o by_o patent_n but_o i_o can_v conclude_v what_o be_v record_n be_v not_o of_o common_a law_n and_o it_o must_v be_v a_o good_a conclusion_n or_o the_o other_o will_v prove_v vain_a to_o be_v a_o sure_a description_n i_o shall_v not_o say_v aught_o of_o a_o patent_n in_o word_n express_v it_o to_o be_v a_o court_n of_o record_n for_o the_o origination_n be_v plain_a but_o what_o the_o distinct_a power_n be_v be_v never_o a_o whit_n thereby_o the_o more_o perspicuous_a and_o manifest_a i_o be_o not_o so_o ignorant_a but_o i_o can_v tell_v there_o may_v be_v a_o reduction_n of_o thing_n to_o some_o certainty_n both_o what_o make_v a_o court_n of_o record_n and_o also_o its_o power_n etc._n etc._n by_o that_o part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o england_n call_v common_a from_o

under_o silence_n i_o shall_v only_o offer_v to_o consideration_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o essential_a to_o every_o court_n and_o of_o necessity_n to_o evidence_n the_o reason_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o same_o that_o the_o judicial_a act_n of_o each_o court_n not_o only_o be_v draw_v in_o writing_n and_o register_v but_o that_o the_o same_o be_v record_n and_o so_o

be_v general_o so_o ill_o provide_v of_o judge_n they_o have_v nothing_o worthy_a the_o name_n of_o a_o court_n of_o justice_n but_o if_o you_o think_v fit_a to_o continue_v they_o court_n for_o the_o

may_v have_v the_o cognizance_n of_o the_o proof_n of_o all_o will_n and_o that_o both_o to_o real_a as_o personal_a estate_n rather_o than_o the_o chancery_n and_o examine_v witness_n in_o
