Entituled An ACT to Prevent and Suppress Seditious Conventicles By Sir Edmund Saunders Kt. late Lord Chief Justice of England LONDON Printed for Tho. Dring at the Corner of Chancery-Lane in Fleetstreet 1685. TO THE Reader TO Recommend this small Treatise to thy perusal there needs no more then the Title with the Authour's Name whose Loyalty Integrity and profound Learning in all the Laws of this Realm were so eminent and conspicuous both while he was at the Bar and after his deserved advancement to the Bench that 't would be impertinent to tell thee what a Reverence was always paid to his Opinions His Memory is so fresh that I cannot suppose thee ignorant of the same or void of a profound respect to his very name for the continuance of which this Manual is published as also for the publick good of the Realm which was his end in its Composition the immediate occasion of writing these Observations was to gratify the Requests of divers of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of Middlesex who desired his Opinion in sundry points upon this Statute for the better Government of themselves in the Execution hereof with safety from the malitious Suits of the Dissenting Party who were and always are ready to take advantage of the least slip or mistake of any of the King's Officers of the Peace The Lord Saunders being sensible thereof as likewise of the great use of this Law and the necessity of its Prosecution in order to preserve the publick Peace and Quiet of the Kingdom did write this Explanation of it even while he was Lord Chief Justice of England it being all of his own Hand-writing so far as page 79. where you will see the Additionals printed with this mark before them ' The great multiplicity of business in his Place and the unhappy indisposition of his Body did prevent the completion thereof he often wishing for but a few hours time to perfect it For the residue as it had not the same Authour so neither doth it expect the same Authority it being added as an Essay to supply what was left undone and yet the supplement may be not without its use being made as near as possible to the Lord Saunders's sense in other Paragraphs and according to his Method and Rule are the Constructions made even in such manner as may most advance the Remedy and suppress the Mischief intended by this Law and are mostly grounded upon approved Opinions and Resolutions of the Judges on this Law and other Laws of this Nature For the Subject 't is well known that this Act never received any publick Animadversions and yet doth perhaps need an Explanation as much as those against Recusancy on which there have been Observations made and Printed and not without Approbation For the seasonableness of this Publication there needs no other Apology than what the Age we live and the Book it self do bespeak and if it may prove any way serviceable to the Publick by being helpfull to the Justices and other Officers of the King's Peace the Reverend Authour's Design as well as that of the Publisher will both be accomplished Some Books Printed for Thomas Dring over against the Inner-Temple Gate in Fleet-street Law in Folio THE Statutes at large from Magna Charta to this present year 1682. in Paragraphs and Sections with References to the Books of the Law and an exact Table By Joseph Keble of Grays-Inn Esq in folio Kebles Assistance to Justices of the Peace for the easier performance of their Duties Collection Entries c.
