penal_a statute_n here_o present_v to_o thy_o view_n be_v to_o assert_v the_o king_n ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n to_o abolish_v the_o exercise_n of_o that_o which_o be_v foreign_a and_o be_v usurp_v and_o to_o forbid_v the_o entrance_n of_o such_o into_o the_o realm_n who_o will_v restore_v that_o which_o be_v abolish_v to_o prevent_v the_o reconciliation_n of_o the_o king_n subject_n

to_o sharpen_v this_o two_o edge_a sword_n but_o only_o to_o take_v off_o some_o of_o its_o rust_n that_o by_o the_o brightness_n it_o may_v be_v the_o better_o discern_v and_o avoid_v and_o to_o

the_o subject_n in_o hand_n which_o lie_v scatter_v in_o the_o print_a book_n be_v here_o collect_v and_o place_v under_o proper_a head_n and_o this_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n the_o statute_n themselves_o except_v for_o which_o i_o dare_v recommend_v the_o book_n to_o thy_o perusal_n beside_o which_o there_o be_v several_a other_o authority_n cite_v in_o the_o case_n which_o arise_v upon_o these_o penal_a law_n and_o here_o and_o there_o where_o the_o path_n be_v untrodden_a i_o have_v adventure_v to_o add_v some_o observation_n of_o my_o own_o wherein_o i_o be_o sensible_a enough_o how_o great_a a_o hazard_n i_o run_v but_o my_o apology_n shall_v be_v that_o they_o be_v offer_v only_o as_o probable_a opinion_n and_o so_o i_o will_v be_v understand_v which_o where_n authority_n fail_v can_v have_v no_o other_o basis_n to_o fix_v themselves_o on_o than_o the_o rule_n of_o law_n apt_o apply_v by_o the_o strength_n of_o reason_n and_o if_o in_o any_o of_o they_o the_o reason_n offer_v shall_v by_o the_o learned_a be_v think_v too_o weak_a or_o the_o rule_n of_o law_n misapply_v i_o shall_v not_o insist_v upon_o the_o misfortune_n of_o other_o who_o have_v make_v essay_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n as_o a_o just_a excuse_n for_o i_o but_o support_v myself_o with_o this_o hope_n that_o such_o will_v be_v most_o ready_a to_o pardon_v i_o who_o be_v the_o best_a able_a to_o censure_v i_o and_o that_o where_o i_o find_v the_o one_o i_o shall_v not_o fail_v of_o the_o other_o as_o for_o the_o mistake_n which_o i_o have_v note_v in_o those_o who_o have_v write_v more_o or_o less_o upon_o these_o statute_n i_o presume_v what_o i_o have_v do_v can_v be_v take_v amiss_o see_v my_o aim_n be_v no_o other_o than_o they_o be_v to_o represent_v thing_n true_o as_o they_o be_v though_o we_o may_v sometime_o miss_v the_o mark_n and_o i_o be_v the_o rather_o induce_v to_o rectify_v they_o for_o that_o i_o find_v divers_a of_o they_o con-concern_a the_o justice_n of_o peace_n who_o leisure_n or_o inclination_n may_v not_o always_o serve_v they_o to_o peruse_v the_o statute_n at_o large_a and_o who_o by_o trust_v to_o those_o short_a tract_n or_o abridgement_n
