THE LAWIERS LOgike exemplifying the praecepts of Logike by the practise of the common Lawe by Abraham Fraunce AT LONDON Imprinted by William How for Thomas Gubbin and T. Newman 1588. To the Right honorable Henry Earle of Pembrooke Lord Herbert of Cardyffe Marmyon and S. Quynten Lorde Praesident of the principality of Wales and the Marches of the same Knight of the most noble order of the Garter and Lord Liuetenant of Wales of the Marches and of the counties of Wy●… and Sommerset IF Lawes by reason framed were and grounded on the same If Logike also reason bee and thereof had this name I see no reason why that Law and Logike should not bee The nearest and the dearest freends and therfore best agree As for the fonde conceyt of such which neuer knew them both Better beleeue some mens bare worde than their suspected oth I say no more then what I saw I saw that which I sought I sought for Logike in our Law and found it as I thought If all that I haue sought and found your Honor doe content Let scribes and pety penmen talke I thinck my time well spent And labour herein well imployd Acceptance is my meede I craue no more I haue no lesse if you vouch safe to reede Your Honors most vnfainedly affectionate Abraham Fraunce TO THE LEARNED Lawyers of England especially the Gentlemen of Grays Inne THere bee almost seauen yeares now ouergone mee since first I began to be a medler with these Logicall meditations And whilest I haue said and vnsaid doone and vndoone and now doone all a new mee thinkes these seauen yeares haue quickly ouergone mee I first began when I first came in presence of that right noble and most renowmed knight sir Philip Sydney with a generall discourse concerning the right vse of Logike and a contracted comparison betweene this of Ramus and that of Aristotle These small and trifling beginnings drewe both him to a greater liking of and my selfe to a further trauayling in the easie explication of Ramus his Logike Sixe tymes in thease seauen yeares haue I perused the whole by a more diligent ouerseeing corrected some ouersights thrise at S. Iohns colledge in Cambridge thrise at Grays Inne since I came to London This last alteration hath chaunged the name of the Booke this new name of the Booke proceeded from the chaunge of my profession For hauing resolutely determined to acquaint my selfe with our English laws constitutiōs I thought good to make tryall whether my eight yeares labour at Cambridge would any thing profit mee at an Inne of Court wheather Law were without Logike or Logike not able to helpe a Lawyer VVhich when I prooued I then perceaued the practise of Law to bee the vse of Logike and the methode of Logike to lighten the Lawe So that after application of Logike to Lawe and examination of Lawe by Logike I made playne the praecepts of the one by the practise of the other and called my booke The Lawyers Logike not as though Logike were tyed onely vnto Law but for that our Law is most fit to expresse the praecepts of Logike Yet because many loue Logike that neuer learne Lawe I haue reteyned those ould examples of the new Shepheards Kalender which I first gathered and therevnto added thease also out of our Law bookes which I lately collected I doubt not but that some welwillers and many malitiously disposed cauyllers will as much reprehend this straunge coniunction of Lawe and Logike as they did meruayle at my sodayne departure from Philosophy to Lawe To those that meane well and speake according to their meaning I wish no woorse vse of Logike than may be had in Lawe For the rest which make proclamations without authoritie and exclamations with greater indignation than discretion I leaue them to their standish and pray for their good successe that after the tearme of seauen yeares fully compleate and ended they may bee in their blewe veluet night-caps solempnly called to the Barre for their extraordinary skill in making of obligations Tully at the earnest request of Trebatius a towardly Lawyer of Rome hath eloquently put downe the first part of Logike in his Topikes to the praecepts whereof hee applyeth Law-like examples for the better instruction of Trebatius and helpe of other Lawyers Seruius Sulpitius as the same Tully reporteth became the most excellent Lawyer in all Rome and that onely by the helpe and direction of Logike insomuch that he onely by thease meanes was said to haue the art knowledge of the Lawe whereas the rest had nothing but the practise of the same by continuall beating of their braynes about endles controuersies Hee knew what was Law what was the reason of Law they like good Catholikes and modest minded men beleeued as the Church beleeued but why the church beleeued so it neuer came within the compasse of their cogitation But all this notwithstanding it cannot bee sayde one great Tenurist that a good Scholler should euer prooue good Lawyer God forbid good sir you offer your selfe tootoomuch iniury for wee countreymen take your woorship for a greate wise learned man and I doubt not but that your selfe are well perswaded of your woondrous knowledge in the Lawe and yet you say that Lawe and Logike can neuer stande togeather T is great pity God wot that thease two excellent qualities can neuer bee reconciled Alas what should ayle them if it like your good Maystership Mary quoth hee thease fine Vniuersity men haue beene trained vp in such easie elegant conceipted nice and delicate learning that they can better make new-found verses of Amyntas death and popular discourses of Ensignes Armory Emblemes Hieroglyphikes and Italian Impreses than apply their heads to the study of the Law which is hard harsh vnpleasant vnsauory rude and barbarous VVell said good Iohn a style Dij ●…e Damasippe deaeque Uerum ob iudicium donent ionsore sed vnde Tam benè nos nosti For my selfe I must needes confesse I was an Vniuersitie man eight yeares togeather and for euery day of these eight yeares I do not repent that I was an Vniuersitie man But for that delicacie of studie whereof you dreame because it seemeth somewhat straunge a worde or two before wee go further Surely sir by your patience be it spoken it seemeth you came abruptly from a countrey schoole to an Inne of court or els riding poast towards London you chaunged horse at the Vniuersitie and comming thither late in the euening and riding away early in the morning saw nothing but by candell light It was incident to my nature as I thinke to bee caried away with as delicate and pleasant a kinde of learning as any of my time in Cambridge VVhich notwithstanding an inestimable delectation that drowned the paines of studie did yet so racke my raunging head and bring low my crased body that I felt at last when it was too late the perpetuall vexation of Spirite and continuall consumption of body incident
