as the body of man is beft ordered, when
ceffary tobe known. For
every particular member exercifeth his proper duty: fo the body of
the Commonwealth is beft governed, when
every feverall Court of
Juftice executeth his proper jurifdidion. But if theeie, whofeduty

if one Court fhould ufurp , or incroach upon ano-
preferver thereof)
ther , it would introduce incertainty , fubveit Juftice , and bring all
things in the end to confufion.
Now when I confidered how much it would tend to the honour
of the Kings Majefty, and ofhis Laws, to the advancement of juftice,
the quiet of the fubjed: , and generally to the good of the whole
Common wealth (no King in the Chriftian world having fuch Tri-
bunals, and Seats ofjuftice, as his Majefty hath, which, God willing,
in this Treatife we ftiall make to
appear j that all the high, honoura-
ble, venerable, and neceffary Tribunals, and Courts ofjuftice within
his Majefties Realms and Dominions,as well Civill as Eccleffafticall,

might be drawn together,as it were,in one map,ortable,( which hither-

to was never yet done)that the admirable benefit,beauty , &
delegable

and fearing that they ftiould be of little ufe after my deceafe , being
very fliort, and not eafily of others to be underftood, iflfliouldhave
leftthem as they were-.
Out of the duty that I owe to his moft excellent Majefty, and my
zeal,and affedlion to the whole Commonwealth , I have adventured
to break the ice herein, and to publifti more at large thofe things which
in our reading we had obferved concerning Jurifdidion of Courts. I
confefTe it is a labour of as great pains,as difficulty for as in an high
:

and large building, he that beholds the fame after it is finiflied, and
furnifhed, feeth not the carriages, fcaffolding,and other invifible works
of labour, induftry and skill in Architecture : fo he that looketh on a
book ofvariety of important matter, efpecially concerning facred
full
Laws , after
it is
printed and fairly bound and poliflied, cannot fee
therein the carriage of the materials, the fearching, finding out, peru-
ling, and digefting of authorities
in law,Rolsof Parliament,judiciall
Records, Warrants in law, and other invifible works, tamUboris^ qnam

publifhed nothing herein,but that which is grounded upon the autho-
rities and reafon of our books, Rols of Parliament, and other jadiciall

Records, and efpecially upon the refolution of the Judges of latter

times upon mature deliberation in many cafes never publiftied before;
wherewith I was well acquainted, and which I obferved and fet down
in writing, while it was frefli in memory.
There oe amongft the Kings Records divers and maay Rols,whcre-
of you fhall find little or no meQtion(that we remember) in our books,
viz. Ret. Parliament. Rot.Placitorttm Corens ^ Rot. PLieitorum Parliament.

trarienfiufn{hx\i the reafon
of the naming of this Roll thus,was for that
rhemas'E'xxl of Lancafter(a man fingularly bclovcd)taking part with the
Baions King £. 2. in hatred of the Spencers, it was not thought
againft
fafe for theKing, in refped of their power and greatnefle,to name
them Rebels or Traitors, but Contrarients ) and fome others. In this
andotherparts of our Inftitutes we cite divers Records
out of many of
thele Rols Herein,
: as in the reft of our works, you fliall obfcrve , that
in the courfc of our reading we took all in our way, and omitted lit-
tleor nothing, for there is no knowledge (feemeth it at the firft of ne-
ver fo little moment) but it will ftandthe diligent obfcrvcrinltcadat
one time or other.
And thus for all our pains,wi{hing the benevolent reader all the pro-
fit, we ifavente Deo, c^ aufpice Chrifio) begin with the High, and moft

Councell. Our
duties to your Lordfhipsrcmembred, May it
pleafe the fame
10 be advertifed, that according to your Letters in that behalf, we have heard
the matter touching the fearm of the Alnage, and meafurage, that ii to fought
be granted by Majerty of fundry kindes, as well of new made Drapery, as of
his
other Stuffs made within this Realm. And
upon hearing as well of fome of
the part of the Mailer of Orkney, as of others, both of the behalf of the Duke of
Lenox and Ma(kr Shaw, have informed our fclves touching the fame. Andfor
^^"^
our opinions we are rcfol ved, that all new made Drapery made wholly of wool, Roc.pjrl.

as Frizadoes, Bayes, Northern Dozens, Northern Cottons, Cloth rafli, ando-

CogwarcKcr-*
ther like Drapery, of what new name foever,for the ufe of mans body, are to %>.
yeeld Sublidy and Ainage according tothedatuteof 27 E ^.and within theof- Sechcrcafter,
fice ofthe ancient Ainage, as may appear by feverall decrees in that behalf ^o^'^J' p
made in the Exchequer in the time of the late Queen. But as touching Fuftianj, gH nu
Canvas, Sackcloth and fuch like made n-eerly of other Huff then wool, or be- Kendall Clother

ing but mixed with wool,

we are of opinion, that no charge can beimpofcdfor &c, 11H.4.C.X.'
the fearch or meafurage thereof, but that all fuch Patents (o made are void, as '"^'^" "
H.4.
may appear by Record ofthe 1 1. year of H.4. wherein the reafon ofthe judg-
a
"amsofCkiT* '

ment is particularly mentioned , which we held not amilTe to fet down to your &c. u H 4.C.7,
Lordfliipsjwhich is thus, The fame King H.4, granted the meafurage of all wool- Scat.a.
len Cloth and Canvas that (hould be brought to London to be fold by any ftran-

ger or denizen (except he were free

of Londonj raking one half
penny for eve-
ry piece of Cloth fomeafured ofthe feller, and one other half penny of the
buyer, and fo after the rate for a greater or Icfler
quantity, and one penny for the
meafuringof 100. clsof Canvas of the feller, and fo much more ofthe buyer.
And although it were averred that two other had enjoyed the fame cffice before
wich the like fees, •yi-t, one Sheringby thefame Kings grant, and oneClytheroe
before by the grant of KingR.i.yet, amongli ocher reafons of the Judgment, it
was fet down and adjuQgcd,thatthe former poflelfion was by extortion, and co-
crtion, & without right, and that thole Patents were i» oncratsonem,offreJfionem &
depMiperationem popalt
dgmtni regis ^ &
non in emendatitne
eJMdem^epttU^ &Ct and no
benefit tothe King, and therefore the Patents void. And as touching the narrow
new Huffe made in Norwich and other places with Worflead yarn, we are of
opinion that it is not grantable,nor fit to be granted, for we cannot find,that there
was ever any Ainage upon Norwich VVorfleads. And forthefe fluff*, ifafter they
be made and tacked up for lale by the makers thereof, they (hould be again ope-
ned to be viewed and meafured,they will not well. fall into their old plaits to
be tacked up as before, which will be fas is affirmed^ a great hinderanceto the
will not then
fales thereof in groflls, for that they appear to be lb merchandizable,
as ihey were upon the firft making of them up: And even fo we humbly take our

Throughout all this Treatife we have dealt cleerly and plainly con-
