foreign_a judicature_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n i_o believe_v do_v know_v their_o law_n somewhat_o better_a than_o they_o which_o have_v travel_v through_o those_o country_n but_o not_o through_o those_o court_n and_o i_o do_v find_v that_o where_o such_o mercatorian_a and_o nautical_a judge_n be_v they_o be_v either_o civilian_n themselves_o or_o at_o least_o far_o better_o verse_v in_o the_o civil_a law_n then_o any_o of_o the_o merchant_n or_o mariner_n of_o our_o nation_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v or_o else_o they_o be_v not_o only_o assist_v but_o regulate_v and_o rule_v by_o civilian_n and_o moreover_o by_o certain_a letter_n yet_o remain_v in_o my_o study_n which_o i_o have_v in_o that_o short_a time_n that_o i_o have_v be_v verse_v in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o admiralty_n in_o

that_o upon_o contest_v for_o the_o right_n of_o jurisdiction_n in_o the_o cognizance_n of_o cause_n which_o have_v happen_v between_o foreigner_n and_o english_a whether_o the_o cause_n be_v to_o be_v decide_v by_o their_o court_n or_o this_o that_o they_o have_v urge_v and_o quote_v the_o civil_a law_n for_o the_o foundation_n of_o their_o argument_n for_o their_o right_n of_o jurisdiction_n therein_o and_o have_v receive_v satisfaction_n by_o answer_n frame_v out_o of_o the_o same_o law_n unto_o their_o say_a argument_n if_o i_o shall_v here_o set_v forth_o those_o letter_n and_o copy_n it_o will_v thereby_o appear_v that_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o admiralty_n court_n of_o england_n have_v be_v maintain_v and_o defend_v by_o civilian_n
