a_o general_a complaint_n against_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o ecclesiastical_a court_n and_o that_o cause_n be_v in_o they_o continue_v long_o than_o a_o upright_o and_o orderly_o proceed_n will_v

diocese_n i_o hope_v the_o occasion_n of_o any_o such_o complaint_n shall_v no_o more_o be_v hear_v of_o because_o i_o speak_v before_o those_o reverned_a magistrate_n bench_n in_o who_o authority_n consist_v sufficient_a power_n to_o reform_v those_o abuse_n already_o complain_v upon_o i_o will_v therefore_o insist_v no_o further_o few_o word_n content_v the_o wise_a what_o i_o have_v speak_v i_o know_v be_v hear_v by_o a_o approve_a wisdom_n as_o touch_v the_o pennall_a statute_n for_o the_o punish_n of_o any_o unreverent_a demeanour_n in_o church_n or_o violence_n offer_v to_o the_o minister_n or_o quarrel_v strike_v or_o draw_v of_o any_o weapon_n in_o church_n or_o church_n yard_n i_o know_v they_o be_v ordynary_a matter_n give_v in_o every_o charge_n and_o therefore_o you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o the_o law_n in_o that_o case_n make_v and_o provide_v i_o will_v therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o shortness_n of_o the_o time_n only_a point_n out_o unto_o you_o some_o several_a officer_n who_o action_n not_o be_v sufficient_o look_v into_o many_o abuse_n be_v commit_v which_o do_v pass_v unpunished_a our_o common_a wealth_n receive_v much_o injury_n by_o our_o escheator_n who_o by_o abuse_v their_o commission_n do_v most_o intolerable_a wrong_n to_o many_o of_o his_o majesty_n good_a subject_n for_o a_o escheator_n will_v come_v into_o the_o country_n and_o be_v inform_v of_o a_o honest_a yeoman_n decease_v be_v it_o that_o his_o land_n be_v not_o above_o the_o yearly_a value_n of_o forty_o or_o fifty_o pound_n &_o leave_v a_o heir_n behind_o he_o a_o inquiry_n shall_v be_v make_v by_o what_o evidence_n every_o acre_n of_o ground_n be_v hold_v and_o find_v but_o one_o piece_n for_o which_o a_o express_a evidence_n can_v be_v show_v for_o that_o particular_a parcel_n then_o by_o a_o jury_n to_o that_o end_n summon_v by_o the_o escheator_n that_o piece_n of_o ground_n must_v be_v adjudge_v to_o be_v hold_v in_o capite_fw-la and_o so_o a_o

than_o he_o have_v compound_v for_o his_o wardship_n sue_v out_o his_o livery_n and_o then_o perhaps_o marry_v to_o one_o stark_o naught_o or_o not_o worth_a any_o thing_n the_o young_a heir_n shall_v be_v leave_v just_a worth_n so_o much_o and_o no_o more_o and_o this_o as_o i_o think_v be_v a_o most_o lamentable_a thing_n god_n forbid_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v enforce_v by_o such_o course_n to_o prove_v his_o right_n in_o every_o particular_a acre_n of_o ground_n which_o he_o have_v for_o many_o particular_a piece_n be_v oft_o include_v in_o one_o evidence_n without_o be_v

bring_v in_o compass_n of_o such_o tenure_n and_o again_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o law_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o king_n look_v only_o to_o manor_n land_n and_o tenement_n of_o great_a value_n without_o have_v respect_n to_o such_o petty_a thing_n where_o a_o heir_n to_o clear_v the_o encumbrance_n must_v overthrow_v his_o estate_n lose_v his_o inheritance_n and_o be_v undo_v for_o ever_o but_o this_o notwithstanding_o so_o the_o escheator_n may_v have_v his_o part_n in_o the_o spoil_n he_o care_v not_o to_o use_v any_o indirect_a corruption_n you_o of_o the_o jury_n therefore_o for_o the_o good_a of_o yourselves_o and_o you_o careful_o look_v to_o the_o proceed_n use_v in_o this_o case_n and_o such_o abuse_n as_o you_o shall_v find_v therein_o let_v it_o be_v present_v and_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v find_v offender_n they_o shall_v know_v that_o we_o have_v law_n to_o punish_v they_o for_o proof_n whereof_o i_o will_v you_o can_v find_v out_o some_o of_o who_o there_o may_v be_v make_v a_o example_n but_o if_o you_o will_v be_v content_a to_o let_v the_o escheator_n alone_o and_o not_o look_v unto_o his_o action_n he_o will_v be_v content_v by_o deceive_v you_o to_o change_v his_o name_n take_v unto_o himself_o the_o two_o last_o syllable_n only_o with_o the_o es_fw-ge leave_v out_o and_o so_o turn_v cheater_n we_o have_v then_o a_o excellent_a officer_n
