they_o will_v unavoidable_o introduce_v a_o mischief_n instead_o of_o a_o benefit_n but_o to_o those_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o law_n make_v in_o this_o nation_n be_v found_v on_o principle_n of_o tyranny_n fallacy_n and_o oppression_n for_o the_o profit_n and_o benefit_n of_o those_o that_o make_v they_o for_o know_v this_o that_o when_o william_n the_o bastard-duke_n of_o normandy_n undertake_v to_o conquer_v this_o nation_n he_o be_v not_o single_o himself_o able_a to_o raise_v money_n or_o man_n enough_o to_o perform_v such_o a_o design_n without_o the_o voluntary_a conjunction_n of_o most_o of_o the_o noble_n and_o gentry_n that_o be_v his_o subject_n who_o sell_v and_o mortgage_v almost_o all_o the_o land_n and_o estate_n they_o have_v in_o normandy_n to_o furnish_v they_o out_o in_o that_o design_n now_o therefore_o when_o the_o say_a william_n have_v conquer_v this_o nation_n he_o be_v enforce_v to_o suffer_v those_o his_o norman_a peer_n to_o share_v with_o he_o in_o the_o benefit_n as_o they_o voluntary_o do_v in_o the_o hazard_n from_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o the_o say_a conqueror_n and_o his_o

under_o they_o mere_o at_o their_o will_n and_o mercy_n whereupon_o all_o law_n be_v make_v in_o french_a and_o it_o be_v account_v a_o base_a thing_n in_o england_n to_o be_v call_v a_o english_a man_n then_o do_v these_o conqueror_n make_v such_o law_n as_o suit_v best_a to_o keep_v the_o people_n in_o slavery_n and_o subjection_n as_o the_o english_a now_o use_v the_o irish_a that_o they_o may_v have_v all_o the_o benefit_n they_o possible_o can_v screw_v out_o of_o the_o people_n hence_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o all_o penal_a law_n be_v make_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o king_n the_o lord_n of_o manor_n and_o other_o great_a officer_n who_o be_v the_o king_n creature_n this_o be_v and_o still_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o reason_n why_o the_o life_n of_o man_n which_o

be_v destroy_v by_o ahab_n that_o so_o he_o may_v enjoy_v his_o vineyard_n these_o law_n be_v not_o before_o the_o conquest_n neither_o have_v be_v since_o the_o conquest_n ever_o introduce_v in_o kent_n which_o county_n submit_v to_o the_o say_a duke_n of_o normandy_n reserve_v to_o themselves_o their_o law_n and_o right_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o say_n in_o kent_n the_o father_n to_o

such_o necessity_n for_o that_o law_n as_o some_o sophister_n pretend_v to_o keep_v the_o people_n in_o dread_n and_o awe_n neither_o indeed_o do_v i_o think_v there_o be_v such_o a_o absolute_a
