courtes of the kynge of Englande are come to y e issue of their plea vpon y e mater of the facte furthwith the Iustices by vertue of the kynges wrytte directed vnto the shirief of the countie wherein y e deede is supposed to be done wyll him to cause to come before the same Iusticeis at a certein day by them limitted xii good and lawfull men neighbours to the place where the facte is supposed to be done the same to be such as be of no kynne to either of the pleaders to the ende that by ther oths it maye certeynly be knoweÌ„ whether y e deede wer done as the one partie affirmeth or ells as the other partye denyeth Vppon the daye aforesayde the shieref shall retourne the said wrytte before the same Iustices together with the pannell of their names which he hereunto hath sommoned WheÌ„ they are come either partie may refuse them allegyng that the shierief hathe made that pannell fauorably for the other partye of persones not in different Whiche exception if it be founde treue by the othe of ii men of the same pannell chosen thereunto by the Iustyceis that pannell shall immediatly be quassed And then y e Iustices shall wryte to the coroners of the same couÌ„tie that they shall make a newe painell Whiche when thei haue doÌ„e if it be likewise fouÌ„de fautie it shall also be quassed And then the Iustices shall elect and choose ii of the clerkes of the same courte or other of the same couÌ„tie which in the preseÌ„ce of the court vpon their othes shall make an indifferent panell whiche by neither of the parties shal be challenged Howbeit when the men so impanelled are come into the courte either of the parties may make exceptions against the persoÌ„e of anye of theÌ„ as he may also do in all cases at all times wheÌ„ any maÌ„ by any meanez impanelled shall appeare to be sworne in the courte vpon the truthe of such an issue saiyng that the person impannelled is cosein or allyed to y e other party or by anye kind of amity so knytte vnto him that he is not indifferent to declare the truethe betwene them And of these exceptions there are so manye kyndes and sortes that theye can not bee in fewe woords rehearsed Wherof if anye one bee founde true thenne shall not hee bee sworne agaynst whoÌ„ the exception is purposed but his name shall be cancelled in the pannell So allso shal bee done of all the names of the persons impannelled vntill .xii. of theÌ„ so

leaste for neede and pouertie such Iurers myghte easelye bee corrupte and suborned And if by suche exceptions so manye Iurers names bee cancelled in the pannel that there remayneth not a sufficient

I wil describe vnto you their fourme and office In the commen beÌ„che there are custumable v. Iustices or vi at the most And in the kynges benche .iiii. or v. And as ofte as the place of any of them by deathe or otherwyse is voyde y e kynge vseth to choose one of the seriauntes at lawe and him by his letters patents to ordeine a Iustice in the place of the iudge so ceassynge And theÌ„ the lorde Chauncellor of England shall enter into y e courte where the Iustice is so lackynge bryngyng with him those letters patents and sittynge in y e myddes of the Iustices causeth the seriauÌ„t so elect to be brought in to whoÌ„ in the open courte he notifieth the kynges pleasure touchynge the office of the iustice then voyd and causeth the foresaid letters to be openly read Whiche doÌ„e the maister of the rolles shall reade before the same elect person the othe that he shall take Which wheÌ„ he hath sworne vpon the holy gospell of god the lord ChauÌ„cellour shall deliuer vnto him the kynges letters aforesaid And the lorde chiefe Iustice of y t courte shall assine vnto him a place in the same where he shall then place him that place shall he afterward kepe Yet you must knowe most noble priÌ„ce that this Iustice shall theÌ„ amonge other thinges sweare that he shal indifferently minister iustice to all men aswell foes as frendes that shall haue any sute or plea before hiÌ„ And this shal he not forbeare to do

thoughe the kinge by his letters or by expresse worde of mouth woulde commaunde the contrarie He shall also sweare that from that tyme forwarde he shall not receaue or take any fee or pension or lyuerye of any maÌ„ but of y e kiÌ„g onely nor any gyfte reward or brybe of any maÌ„ hauiÌ„g sute or plea before him sauynge meate and driÌ„ke which shal be of no great value You shall also knowe that a Iustice thus made shal not be at the charges of any diner or solempnitie or anye other costes at the tiÌ„e wheÌ„ he taketh vpoÌ„ him his office dignitie forsomuch as this is no degree in y e facultie of the lawe but an office onely a rowm of autoritie to coÌ„tinue duringe the kynges pleasur Howebeit the habit of his raimeÌ„t he shall from tyme to tyme forward in some poyntes chaunge but not in all the ensignements thereof For beiÌ„ge a seriauÌ„t at lawe he was clothed in a longe robe priestlyke with a furred cape about his shouldâ—rs therupon a hoode with ii labels such as doctours of the lawes vse to weare in certen vniuersities w t the aboue discribed quoife But beinge ones made a Iustice iÌ„ stede of his hood he shal weare a cloke closed vpon his right shoulder all y e other ornameÌ„ts of a seriaunt still remaining sauiÌ„ge that a Iustice shal weare no partie coloured vesture as a seriaunt maye And his cape is furred with none other then meneuer whereas the seriauntes cape is euer furred w t white laÌ„be And this habite I would wishe your grace to briÌ„g into hieghe estimation when it shal be iÌ„ your power for the worshippe of the state of the lawe y e honour of your royalme Furthermore I woulde ye shoulde know that the Iustices of England sitt not in the kinges courtes aboue iii. houres in a day that is to saye from viii of the clock in y e forenone till xi complete For in y e afternones those courtes are not holden or kepte But the Suters then resort to y e ê‘using of theire writinges and elswhere consulting with the Seriauntes at lawe and other theire counsailoures Wherfore the Iustyces after they haue taken theire refection doo passe and bestowe all the residue of the daye in the studye of the lawes in readynge of holye scripture and vsynge other kynde of contemplacion at their pleasure So that theire lyfe may seeme more contemplatiue then actiue And thus do they leade a quiete lyfe discharged of al wordly cares and troubles And it hath neuer bene knowen that ani of them hathe bene corrupt with gyftes or brybes whereupoÌ„ we haue sene this kynde of grace folowynge that skante anye of them dyethe without yssue which vnto iust meÌ„ is a token of the great peculiar blessynge of god And in myne opinioÌ„ it is to be iudged for no small poynte of the bountefull goodnes of god that out of the generation of Iudges there haue hetherto spronge vp mo states peares of the royalme theÌ„ out of any other state of meÌ„ which by their owne wytte policie haue aspired vnto great wealthe nobilitie honour Yea thoughe the state of merchauntes surmount the nuÌ„ber of Iudgeis by many thousans beinge men of suche singular wealth that amonge them commeÌ„ly ther be such as one of theÌ„ in riches passeth all the Iusticeis of y e royalm For this cannot be ascribed vnto fortune which is nothynge But it is to be attributed as I take it onely to the blessynge of god For somuche as by his prophet hee saieth y t the generatioÌ„ of righteous men shal be blessed And the prophet in an other place speakiÌ„g of iust men sayeth y t theire children shal be in blessynge wherefore o most magnificeÌ„t prince be you in loue w t iustice which thus eÌ„richeth exalteth to honour and auaunceth to perpetuite the children of them that haue her in veneration And be you a zelous louer of the lawe the verie welspriÌ„ge of Iustice y t by you it may be sayed y t is writeÌ„ of y e righteous And their seede shall remayne for euer SEd vt Iusticiari â—oruÌ„ sicut et seruieÌ„tuÌ„ ad legeÌ„ statê° tibi innotescat eoruÌ„ formaÌ„ officiuÌ„que vt potero iaÌ„
