nation_n of_o this_o great_a alteration_n of_o the_o law_n and_o except_o man_n have_v sufficient_a notice_n some_o good_a time_n before_o this_o great_a change_n come_v that_o so_o they_o may_v if_o

and_o in_o many_o case_n the_o only_a security_n so_o that_o this_o sudden_a intend_a alteration_n will_v not_o only_o weaken_v all_o man_n security_n but_o quite_o destroy_v all_o the_o security_n that_o many_o have_v 15._o if_o the_o person_n may_v not_o be_v attach_v the_o plaintiff_n will_v be_v put_v to_o find_v out_o the_o defendant_n estate_n which_o will_v be_v a_o great_a trouble_n and_o in_o many_o case_n can_v be_v do_v 16._o a_o very_a great_a part_n of_o our_o land_n be_v copy-hold-tenure_n and_o not_o liable_a to_o pay_v debt_n nor_o can_v be_v without_o manifest_a wrong_a to_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o manor_n and_o another_o great_a part_n be_v land_n either_o entail_v that_o the_o heir_n be_v not_o liable_a or_o else_o be_v make_v over_o to_o other_o upon_o

have_v but_o the_o moiety_n which_o do_v seldom_o satisfy_v 17._o it_o be_v injustice_n to_o protect_v any_o man_n person_n from_o pay_v a_o just_a debt_n for_o no_o man_n may_v protect_v another_o from_o make_v good_a his_o own_o bargain_n and_o contract_n without_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n 18._o it_o will_v easy_o appear_v that_o arrest_n for_o

person_n from_o arrest_n will_v much_o gratify_v that_o sort_n of_o people_n who_o want_v honesty_n to_o pay_v their_o debt_n and_o will_v be_v glad_a that_o their_o person_n may_v be_v free_a they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v nothing_o beforehand_o lest_o the_o creditor_n shall_v find_v any_o thing_n whereas_o the_o fear_n of_o a_o prison_n or_o arrest_v will_v make_v they_o follow_v their_o calling_n spend_v less_o and_o save_v something_o to_o pay_v their_o debt_n 21._o if_o the_o person_n may_v not_o be_v attach_v servant_n will_v grow_v licentious_a man_n will_v have_v liberty_n to_o

and_o may_v have_v time_n easy_o absent_v himself_o and_o therefore_o upon_o the_o first_o arrest_n which_o common_o be_v not_o know_v before_o hand_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o plaintiff_n the_o

reason_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o process_n of_o arrest_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n 1._o because_o attach_n the_o person_n do_v secure_v the_o plaintiff_n debt_n either_o by_o present_a payment_n or_o cause_v other_o satisfaction_n which_o the_o proceed_n by_o summons_n do_v not_o and_o as_o a_o man_n will_v give_v all_o for_o his_o life_n so_o he_o will_v do_v much_o for_o his_o liberty_n 2._o when_o man_n be_v detain_v upon_o the_o arrest_n which_o be_v but_o seldom_o for_o few_o be_v arrest_v in_o comparison_n and_o then_o it_o be_v ordinary_o but_o for_o a_o short_a time_n until_o they_o have_v give_v security_n to_o answer_v the_o action_n or_o some_o warrant_n to_o appear_v 3._o if_o man_n may_v not_o proceed_v by_o arrest_n it_o will_v much_o hinder_a trade_n and_o other_o deal_n for_o man_n will_v not_o adventure_v to_o trust_v where_o there_o be_v much_o liberty_n for_o the_o debtor_n to_o stand_v out_o and_o merchant_n and_o tradesman_n many_o time_n look_v upon_o the_o person_n as_o the_o best_a security_n and_o the_o remedy_n by_o arrest_v the_o speedy_a to_o gain_v their_o debt_n without_o which_o trade_n will_v necessary_o decay_v 4._o the_o process_n to_o arrest_v do_v end_n most_o suit_n before_o the_o person_n be_v attach_v and_o before_o appearance_n as_o experience_n do_v show_v for_o when_o man_n will_v not_o regard_v a_o summons_n they_o will_v take_v course_n before_o they_o will_v suffer_v a_o arrest_n 5._o man_n will_v take_v occasion_n from_o the_o summons_n as_o former_o they_o have_v do_v to_o be_v

which_o the_o arrest_n do_v prevent_v and_o the_o lawmaker_n of_o this_o land_n have_v ever_o hold_v it_o more_o reasonable_a to_o provide_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o creditor_n than_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o debtor_n 6._o england_n be_v a_o island_n compass_v about_o with_o many_o port-town_n where_o there_o be_v many_o merchant_n and_o man_n that_o go_v abroad_o and_o trade_n by_o sea_n who_o buy_v ware_n upon_o credit_n and_o there_o will_v be_v continual_a occasion_n of_o suit_n against_o divers_a person_n of_o this_o sort_n who_o will_v not_o much_o regard_n the_o summons_n but_o will_v betake_v themselves_o and_o their_o estate_n to_o sea_n again_o and_o the_o creditor_n can_v have_v no_o remedy_n whereas_o if_o the_o party_n be_v attach_v they_o will_v make_v satisfaction_n 7._o whereas_o divers_a tradesman_n subsist_v upon_o their_o credit_n and_o take_v up_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n for_o which_o they_o can_v give_v no_o other_o security_n than_o their_o person_n and_o by_o advantage_n thereof_o many_o time_n attain_v to_o great_a estate_n but_o if_o the_o process_n of_o arrest_n be_v take_v away_o they_o can_v hope_v no_o more_o to_o be_v
