naturally and lawfully borne within this your Maiesties Realme of England and also that they and euerie of them shall and may from henceforth by the same authoritie be enabled and adiudged able to all

and purposes as though they and euerie of them had beene your Highnesse naturall borne subiects and also that they and euerie of them from henceforth may and shall bee enabled to prosecute maintaine and avow iustifie and defend all manner of actions suits plaints and other demands whatsoeuer as liberally frankely fully lawfully surely and freely as if they and any of them had beene naturally borne within your Maiesties Realme of England and as any other person or persons naturally borne within the same may in any wise lawfully doe any Act Law Statute Prouiso Custome Ordinance or other thing whatsoeuer had made ordained or done to the contrarie in any wise notwithstanding And your Petitioners shall daily pray for your Royall Maiestie long in honour and most safetie to remaine ouer vs. This Petition in nature of an Act of Parlement The manner of proceeding in Parlement is deliuered to the Speaker of the Parlement who vpon the second reading in the Commons House procureth the same to bee referred to certaine Committees before whom the Petitioners doe appeare and after examination if there be no apparant cause that might crosse them the Bill is returned into the Parlement and read for the third time as the manner is of all Acts and then it is carried vp to the higher house and there it is commonly of course also read three times and so allowed and there it doth remaine vntill the last day of the Session of Parlement and then the Kings Royall Assent is had therevnto and there is written on the backside or within these wordes Le Roy le Veult And if it be an● Act which the King will not passe the Clerke of the Parlement writeth Le Roy S'aduiser'a which is a cleane and absolute refusall and all which was done is void and cannot bee reuiued in another Parlement without to begin all from the beginning againe So much for England In France all strangers that are not borne within the Kingdome and reside or dwell in the same Aubeine in France are subiect to the right of Aubeine so called Tanquam Alibi nati for after their death if they be not naturalized the King doth seise vpon all their goods they haue in France and appropriateth the same to his Exchequer or Finances without that the said strangers can dispose thereof by Testament or Will or that their lawfull heires can claime the same howbeit they may giue them and dispose thereof whiles they liue by contracts made betweene them A stranger also not dwelling within the Realme yet hauing gotten wealth or meanes within the same may dispose of it vnto his heyres and others although they were strangers Also if a stranger trauelling through the Kingdome of France should chance to die his heires shall enioy his goods which hee hath left at the time of his decease in France But when a stranger taketh letters of naturalization then may hee get wealth and possessions within the Realme lawfully and freely which letters of naturalization must be recorded in the Chamber of Accounts vpon paine of a penaltie payed to the King and his lawfull heires shall enioy the said possessions and goods so as hee be nature of the Realme or any other to whom the same be giuen by Will or Testament so as he also be naturalized as aforesaid But Monsieur Papon the Ciuilian saith That it is not sufficient for one to enioy the same to bee borne within the Realme but it must be also of a woman taken in marriage within the Realme and heerevpon alleageth an arrest or sentence of the Parlement of Paris whereby a cosin of a stranger deceased was preferred before the sister because the cosin was born within the realme and dwelling in the same and the sister did not dwell within the Realme and was borne in another countrey albeit she caused her selfe to be Naturalized after the decease of her brother whereof the Court had no regard because the goods by succession were gotten before which could not be made void by the Kings Letters Pattents Monsieur Banquet is of opinion That a Frenchman being departed the Kingdome for to dwell in another countrey that his goods present and to come doe appertaine vnto the King and cannot dispose thereof by Will or Testament as it hath beene proued by diuers Decrees of Parlement The King is Lord of all vacant goods and therefore wiues and children are to take Letters of Naturalization to purchase their quietnesse And if any stranger borne and naturalized should bee out of the Kingdome some eight or ten yeares vpon especiall occasion or otherwise hee is at his returne to take new Letters of Naturalization or a confirmation of the former by some approbation An obseruable consideration And herein is a speciall point to bee noted as a matter of record that those of Flanders Millaine and the French Countie of Sauoy are not bound to take Letters of Naturalization to dwell in this Kingdome because the French Kings pretend that the said countreys are theirs and were neuer alienated by any conse●t of theirs but are countries which at all times haue belongeth to the Crowne of France who doth acknowledge the subiects to bee true and loyall Frenchmen But it is requisite if they come to dwell and inhabite within the Realme that they take Letters of Naturalization to the end the Officers do not molest or trouble them By the premisses wee see that the Naturalizing in France is farre more compulsorie for Merchants than in England howbeit that in both Kingdomes if a stranger Naturalized after many yeares that hee hath inhabited the same bee desirous to returne to his father-land or natiue countrey he may surrender his Letters Pattents and bee discharged of his oath * ⁎ * CHAP. XIIII Of the determination of Sea-faring causes HAuing now hitherto intreated of the Customes of Merchants with their Adiuncts and Accidents and therein obserued Time Number Weight and Measure as also the three Simples and Essentiall parts of Trafficke with their Effects and Properties let vs now consider of the Manner and Methode of the proceedings therein to see by what meanes they are determined and executed
circumstantibus and empannell them that is To take other persons of the standers by which is done before the Iudge at the time of the Triall When the Iurie haue deliuered vp their verdict Verdict Iudgement and Execution if nothing bee alleaged in respite of judgement then judgement is had of course and alsoe execution is awarded to bee executed as the finall end of Law Neuerthelesse there are three meanes to dissolue the said judgement and execution namely By a Writ of Attaint a Writ of Error and an Audita Quaerela which Writ is grounded vpon Equitie by Law and Conscience The Writ of Attaint is not onely tedious and thargeable Writ of Attaint but also neuer or seldome tried for the same is brought by the partie grieued against the twelue men and the partie for whom the sentence is giuen And whereas before commonly vpon the first enquest they be all Yeomen or men of meane calling now vpon this Attaint must goe twentie foure Gentlemen of greater qualitie and fortie eight must be warned to appeare then there must in the Attaint no more euidence be brought in but onely that which was brought in and alleaged before the first enquest which not appearing of record is hard to bee made a plaine matter againe Gentlemen and others are loth to discredit their neighbours yet if the matter bee so apparant that they must needs find them attainted then meanes are found to deferre the judgement and it may bee the parties shall be brought to an agreement or at the least one of them that was of the attainted Iurors will dye in the meane time and then the Attaint ceaseth yet in this case if the partie be in prison which brought the Writ of Attaint he may be bailed as is in Natura Breuium The Writ of Error is more easie Writ of Error and was heretofore vsuall to prolong suits in Law before the Statute of Ieofaile was made meaning in good French I'ay failly For euerie small Error if it were but false Latine would ouerthrow a Cause but now it runneth into another extreame for if the partie grieued speaketh in arrest of judgement and sheweth some materiall Error vpon motion made the aduerse partie may haue it amended as often as Errors are opened the Record therefore ought to be first remoued and not onely by transcript be put into another Court but the partie is to plead thereunto in nullo est erratum and then the danger of opening Errors is past if there be no trickes vsed in amending of the Records vnder hand wherein lyeth a Cerciorare to satisfie the Court where the Record is brought namely from the Common Pleas to the Kings Bench Court from the Kings Bench to the Exchequer which heretofore was done in Parlement and therefore the partie grieued and in prison of the Kings Bench cannot be baileable vpon a Writ of Error after judgement and execution as hee is vpon a judgement of the Common Pleas in the Court of Kings Bench for this Court of Kings Bench in regard of the Pleas of the Crowne challengeth some prioritie herein The Writ of Audita Quaerela The Writ of Audita Quaerela is graunted out of the Kings Bench Court if the judgement doe depend there and returnable in the said Court or else out of the Chauncerie returnable in the Kings Bench whereupon the Lord Chancellor taketh foure bailes in the vacation Time before a Master of the Chauncerie and the matter doth meerely depend vpon the baile The suggestion of the Writ in matter of Law is a later contract after judgement and execution an escape in Law if the prisoner bee by the Gaoler permitted to goe abroad without the Kings Writ or if he breake prison in which case the Gaoler is to pay the debt or vpon a payment made since the execution also a wrong recouerie by an executor whom the Prerogatiue Court doth afterwards disavow Such and the like suggestions are to be tried by another Iurie vpon euidence to be produced to proue the said allegation A strict Law This Common Law is so strict that the Prouerbe is Summum ius summa iniuria for example If a man seized of lands in Fee hath issue two sonnes the eldest sonne goeth beyond the Seas and because a common voyce is that hee is dead the yonger brother is taken for heite the father dyed the yonger brother entred as heire and alienateth the land with a warrantie and died without any heire of his bodie and after the elder brother commeth againe and claimeth the land as heire to his father in this case by the Law the eldest brother shall be barred by the warrantie of the yonger brother Againe parteners cannot sue each other by the Law Parteners cannot sue each other by the Law if two men haue a wood ioyntly and the one selleth the wood and keepeth all the money wholly to himselfe in this case his fellow shall haue no remedie against him by the Common Law for as they when they tooke the wood ioyntly put each other in trust and were contented to occupie and deale together so the Law suffereth them to order the profits thereof The Law therefore is not compleat without the Courts of Chancerie or Equitie for the imperfection and rigour of it are qualified thereby called to be Aequum Bonum which may bee considered in this case Two strangers ioyntly did deliuer in trust vnto a widow woman a round summe of money with condition not to deliuer the same out of her hands but when they both should demand the same within a while after one of them commeth vnto her and doth assure her by good indices and probabilities that the other his companion is dead and thereupon doth intreat her to deliuer him the money which shee did not suspecting any fraud so the partie went away with the money Afterwards commeth the other who was said to be dead and demandeth the money of the woman and vnderstanding that she had paied the same vnto the other was much offended therewith and caused her to be adiourned before the Iudge The woman appearing did declare the matter according to the truth shewing how the other had deceiued her and she did wholly relie vpon the integritie and justice of the Iudge Example of Law and Equitie Here an Action of the case might haue beene brought against the woman by the law and cause her to seeke the partie that had deceiued her but the Iudge tempering the rigour of the law did giue sentence That the woman should pay the money vnto the partie so as he brought his companion with him to demaund the same according to the couenant they both iointly hauing reposed a trust in her Here I call to mind the question which no Iudge could determine A couetous Doctor at the Ciuile law would not instruct a young Student vnlesse he did pay him a great summe of money whereunto the Student did condescend conditionally that he should
