proceed_v by_o arithmetical_a proportion_n thus_o the_o mede_n turn_v justice_n into_o equality_n whereas_o as_o xenophon_n tell_v cyrus_n reprove_v he_o for_o award_v the_o coat_n to_o his_o

arbitrary_a without_o any_o other_o law_n but_o those_o draw_v from_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o great_a to_o the_o small_a and_o other_o circumstance_n which_o he_o call_v equity_n or_o

though_o they_o quiet_a private_a contest_v yet_o they_o cause_v a_o dangerous_a reflux_n into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o state_n by_o the_o indignation_n of_o the_o noble_n against_o the_o

question_n why_o we_o have_v more_o lawsuit_n nowadays_o than_o former_o i_o believe_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o common-people_n have_v get_v too_o much_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n and_o
