Brimstone mines are had better dooings and more rapping at his gates then all the Doctors Empericall Quack-saluers of ten citties haue at theirs in a great plague-time The hal where these Termers were to try their causes was very large and strongly built but it had one fault it was so hot that people could not indure to walk there Yet to walke there they were compelled by reason they were drawne thither vppon occasions and such iustling there was of one another that it would haue grieued any man to be in the thronges amongst em Nothing could bee heard but noise and nothing of that noise be vnderstood but that it was a sound as of men in a kingdome when on a suddaine it is in an vprore Euery one brabled with him that he walked with or if he did but tell his tale to his Councell he was so eager in the verry deliuery of that tale that you would haue sworne he did brabble and such gnashing of teeth there was when aduersaries met together that the fyling of ten thousand Sawes cannot yeeld a sound more horrible The Iudge of the Court had a diuelish countenance and as cruell hee was in punishing those that were condemned by Lawe as hée was crabbed in his lookes whilst he sat to heare their tryals But albeit there was no pittie to be expected at his hands yet was he so vpright in iustice that none could euer fasten bribe vppon him for he was ready and willing to heare the cries of all commers Neither durst any Pleader at the infernall Barre or any officer of the Court exact any Fee of Plaintiffes and such as complained of wrongs and were opprest but onely they paide that were the wrong dooers those would they sée dambd ere they should gette out of their fingers such fellowes they were appointed to vexe at the very soule The matters that here were put in sute were more then could bee bred in twentie Uacations yet should a man be dispatched out of hand In one Terme he had his Iudgement for heare they neuer stand vppon Returnes but presently come to Triall The causes decided here are many the Clients that complaine many the Counsellors that plead till they be hoarse many the Attornies that runne vp and downe infinite the Clarkes of the Court not to be numbred All these haue their hands full day and night are they so plagued with the bawling of Clients that they neuer can rest The Inck where-with they write is the blood of Coniurers they haue no Paper but all thinges are engrossed in Parchment and that Parchment is made of Scriueners skinnes flead off after they haue beene puni●ed for Forgerie their Standishes are the Scu●s of Usurers their Pennes the bones of vnconscionable Brokers and hard-hearted Creditors that haue made dice of other mens bones or else of periured Excecutors and blind Ouer-séeers that haue eaten vp Widdowes and Orphanes to the bare bones and those Pennes are made of purpose without Nebs because they may cast Inck but slowly in mockery of those who in their life time were slowe in yeelding drops of pitty Would you know what actions are tried here I wil but turne ouer the Recordes and read them vnto you as they hang vppon the Fyle The Cou●●er is sued heere and condemned for Ryots The Soldier is sued heere and condemned

Rottennesse and to Stench No Actes of Parliament that haue passed the Upper-house can be broken but here the breach is punished and that seuerely and that suddenlly For here they stand vppon no demurres no Audita-Queraela can heere be gotten no writs of Errors to Reuerse Iudgement heere is no flying to a court of Chancery for relee● yet euerie one that comes heather is serued with a
