[N  the  fccond  part  of  the  If/Jiitutes  we  havelpoken  only  of 
Aftsof  Parliament,  (viz.)  of  Magna  Carta,a.nd  many  anci- 
ent and  other  Afts  of  Parliament,  which  we  have  explain- 
ed, and  therein  obferved  which  of  them  are  declaratory 
of  the-ancient  Lawsof  this  Realm, which  are  introduftory 
of  ncw,and  which  mixt;  All  of  them  (exceptinga  veryfew)  concern- 
ing Coww<?;;-P/r^//,  and  thefe  two  great  Pronouns,  Menm  and  Tmim.

of  them  by  Aft  of  Parliament,  and  fome  by  the  Common  Law  ••  in  ^^^^^  ^^^  ^^^^^ 
which  Cafes  the  Law  of  all  other  is  moft  neceflary  to  be  known,  be-  (ffidtntm  fed  dtfi-

of  the  Law  principally  hdldeth^MiJcrafervitus  eji^  ubi  jm  eji  vagum^  ant 
itrcognitum.  And  where  fome  doth  objedt  againft  the  Laws  of  England^ 
that  they  are  dark  and  hard  to  be  underftood,  we  have  fpecially  in  thefe 
and  other  parts  of  the  Injlituies  opened  (iich  windows,  and  made  them  (b 
lightfom,  and  eafie  to  be  underftood,   as  he  that  hath  but  the  light  of

iame.  And  that  may  be  verified  of  thefe  Laws,  that  Lex  ejilttx,  Prov.5. 
2  5,  the  Law  it  felf  is  a  light.  See  Rom.  2.  14.  And  when  we  confider 
how  many  Afts  of  Parliament  (  publifhed  in  print )  that  have  made 
new  treafons  and  other  capital  offences,  are  either  repealed  by  gene- 
ral or  exprefi  words,  or  expired :  How  many  Indiftraents,  Attainders 
of  treafons.  Felonies,  and  other  crimes,  which  are  not  warrantable  by 
Law  at  this  day :  And  how  few  Book-Cafes  there  have  been  publiftv 
ed  of  treafons,  (  though  a  Subjcd  of  greateft  importance  )  and  thofc 
very  llcnderly  reported :  We  in  refpeft  of  the  places  which  we  have 
holden,and  of  our  own  obfervation,and  by  often  conferences  with  the 
Sages  of  the  Law  in  former  times  concerning  criminal  caufes  or  Pleas 
of  the  6>tfn'/7,have  thought  good  to  publifh  this  Third  part  of  the  Ik-

fo  far  hath  the  love  and  honour  of  my  Countrey,  to  pals  through  all 
labours,  doubts  and  difficulties,  prevailed  with  me. 

This,  as  other  parts  of  the  h/Jiitutes,  we  have  fet  forth  in  our  En- 
glilh  tongue,not  only  for  the  reafbns  in  the  Preface  to  the  Firft:  part  of 
the  I»jiitutes  alledged,which  we  prefume  may  fatisfie  any  indifferent 
and  prudent  reader  :But  (pecially  this  Treatile  of  the  Pleas  of  the  Crorvfr^ 
becaufe,  as  it  appeareth  by  that  which  hath  been  faid,  it  concerneth  all 
the  Subjects  of  the  Realm  morenearly  by  many  degrees,  then  any  of  the

man  furnamed  Theologus  magmis^  upon  the  (econd  Chapter  of  the  Book 
ofWifdom,  in  or  about  the  20.  year  of  King  E.  5.  wrote  to  this  efFed.

made  not  long  after  Holcoth  wrote,  hath  taken  thefe  edifts  of  a  Con- 
queror away,  and  given  due  honour  to  our  Englilh  Language,  which  is 
as  copious  and  fignificant,and  as  able  to  exprefi  any  thing  in  as  few  and 
apt  words,  as  any  other  native  Language,  that  is  fpoken  at  this  day. 
And  (to  (peak  what  we  think  )  we  would  derive  from  the  Conque- 
ror as  little  as  we  could.

Y  V  ^^^'^^  ^^^^  Treafon  (hall  be  faid,  and  in  what  not  -^  the 
King  at  the  requeft  of  the  Lords  and  of  the  Commons,  hath  made  a  De- 
claration in  the  manner  as  hereafter  foUoweth :  That  is  to  faj^,  When  a 
man  doth  compafs,  or  imagine  the  death  of  our  Lord  the  King,  ofmy 
Lady  his  Queen,  or  of  their  eldefl:  Son  and  Heir:  or  if  a  man  do  vio- 
late the  Kings  Compagnion,  or  the  Kings  eldcft  daughter  unmarried, 
or  the  Wife  of  the  Kings  eldeft  Son  and  Heir:  Or  if  a  man  do  levy 
War  againft  our  Lord  the  King  in  his  Realm,  or  be  adherent  to  the 
Kings  enemies  in  his  Realm,  giving  to  them  aid  and  comfort  in  the 
Realm  or  eliewhere,  and  thereof  be  proyably  attainted  of  open  deed 
by  people  of  their  condition.  And  if  a  man  counterfeit  the  Kings  great, 
or  privy  Seal,  or  his  Money :  And  if  a  man  bring  falfe  money  into  this 
Realm  counterfeit  to  the  Money  of  England,  as  the  Money  called 
Lufheburgh,  or  other  like  to  the  faid  Money  cf  England,  knowing 
the  money  to  be  falfe,  to  merchandize  or  make  payment,  in  deceipt 
of  our  faid  Lord  the  King  and  of  his  people.  And  if  a  man  (lay  the 
Chancellor,  Treafurer,  or  the  Kings  Juftices  of  the  one  Bench,  or  the 
other,  Juftices  in  Eire,or  Juftices  of  Affize,  and  all  other  Juftices  af- 
figned  to  hear  and  determine,  being  in  their  place  doing  their  offices. 
And  it  is  to  be  underftood,that  in  the  cafes  above  rehearled,it  ought  to 
be  judged  Treafon,  which  extend  to  our  Lord  the  King  and  his  Roy- 
al Majefty :  And  of  fuch  Treafon  the  forfeiture  of  the  efcheats  per-

THE 

EPILOGUE. 

Hus  have  we  by  the  great  goodnefi  of  Almighty 
God,  Per  varjos  cafus^  per  tot  difcrimina  rernm , 
brought  this  work  concerning  High  Trcafon,  and 
other  Picas  of  the  Crorctr^  or  Criminal  Caufcs,  and 
of  Pardons,  and  Reftitutions  to  a  conclufion , 
wherein  (  as  we  are  verily  perfwaded  }  we  have 
made  it  apparent  from  the  lively  voice  of  the 
Laws  therafelves,  that  no  Country  in  the  Chriftian  world  have  in 
Criminal  cafes,  of  higheft  nature,  Lawsoffuch  exprefs  and  defined 
certainty,  and  lb  equal  between  the  King  and  all  his  Subjefts,  as  this 
famous  Kingdom  of  Eftglvtd  hath,  being  rightly  underftood,  and 
duly  executed,  to  the  great  honour  of  the  King,  and  of  the  Laws, 
and  the  happy  fafety  of  all  his  loving  and  loyal  Subjefts, 

Now  feeing  Jujiitia  cji  duplex^  viz.  fivere  ptwiens,  d^  vere  pr£vef:i- 
ctjs--)  that  is,  Jultice  feverely  punifliing,  whereof  we  have  fpoken,and 
truly  preventing,  or  preventing  juftice,  (^  qu£  adhtic  dcfideratur ')  for 
we  have  fpoken  only  of  the  former  ^  we  will  therefore  at  this  place 
(  for  a  conclufion  )  point  at  the  other  with  a  diredion  how  it  may 
be  effcfted.  \ 

True  it  is,  that  we  have  found  by  woful  experience,  that  it  is  not  juQice  dividec?. 
frequent  and  often  punifliment  that  doth  prevent  like  offences,  Mc- 
hor  eU  euim  Jiisiitia  vcre  pr£vcme»s^  quam  fevere  pimic}7s^  agreeing 
with  the  rule  of  the  Phyfitian  for  the  fafety  of  the  body,  Pr^jlat 
catitela,  qnarn  wedela:  and  it  is  a  certain  rule,  that  Videhis  ca  fepe  com-  ^ggui^, 
mitti^  quaftepe  vindicanturt,  Thofe  offences  are  often  committed,  that 
.  are  often  puniHied:  for  the  frequency  of  the  punifhment  makes  it  fo 
familiar  as  it  is  not  feared.  For  example,  what  a  lamentable  cafe  it  is  su,f£rlcit, plant, 
to  fee  fo  many  Chriftian  men  and  women  ftrangled  on  that  curled  tree 
of  the  gallows,  infomuchas  if  in  a  large  field  a  man  might  fee  toge- 
ther all  the  Chriftians,  that  but  in  one  year,  throughout  E?jgUnd^ 
come  to  that  untimely  and  ignominious  death,  if  there  were  any  fpark  Seneca  lib.  i.  De 
ofgrace,  or  charity  in  him,  it  would  make  his  heart  to  bleed  for  pity  i^onminmprfndpi 
and  compaflion.  (But  here  I  leave  to  Divines  to  inform  the  inward  turpiijimt^  mdu 
man,  who  being  well  informed,  verba  informantc^  the  outward  man  ^t^comiufMul'.

This  preventing  Juftice  confiftethin  three  things.  Firft,  in  the  good  ff^^^'J^^il't'I? 
education  of  youth,  and  that  both  by  good  inftruftion  of  them  in  the  curath  corpm  in- 
grounds  of  the  true  religion  of  Almighty  God,  and  b5'"learning  foms'i^f'^"^-

member  exercifeth  his  proper  duty :  fo  the  body  of  the 
Commonwealth  is  bell  governed  when  every  feveral 
Court  of  Juftice  executeth  his  proper  Jurifdidion.   But 
if  the  eye,  whofe  duty  is  to  fee,  the  hand  to  work,  the 
feet  to  go,  fhall  ufurp  and  incroach  one  upon  anothers 
work :  As  for  example,  the  hands  or  feet,  the  office  of 
the  eye  to  fee,  and  the  like  ,  thefe  fhould  aifuredly  pro- 
duce diforder  and  darknefs,  and  bring  the  whole  body 
out  of  order,  and  in  the  end  to  deftru(5tion  :  So  in  the 
Commonwealth    (  Juftice  being  the  main  preferver 
thereof)  if  one  Court  fhould  ufurp,  or  incroach  upon 
another,   it  would  introduce  incertainty,   fubvert  Ju- 
ftice,  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  of  his  Laws, 
to  the  advancement  of  Juftice,   the  quiet  of  tlie  Sub- 
jedb,   and  generally  to  the  good  of  the  whole  Com- 
monwealth ( no  King  in  the  Chriftian  World  having 
fuch  Tribunals  and  Seats  of  Juftice  as  his  Majefty  hathj 
which,  God  willing,  in  this  Treatife  we  ihall  make  to 
appear )  that  all  the  high,  honourable,  venerable  and 
neoeftary  Tribunals  and  Courts  of  Juftice  within  his 
Alajefties  Realms  and  Dominions,  as  well  Civil  as  Ecclcfi- 
aftical,  might  be  drawn  together,  as  it  were  in  one  Map 
.    or  Table,  (which  hitherto  was  never  yet  done )  that  the 
admirable  benefit,  beauty,  and  delegable  variety  there- 
of might  be,  as  it  were,  7mo  intuitu  beholden,  and  that 
the  manifold  Jurifdi(5tions  of  the  fame  might  be  di- 
int'ie.  Preface  to  ftindlly  uuderftood  and  obferved.      We  having  (as 
the  mnitntes.      elfcwliere  we  have  faid  )  coUeded  fome  materials  to- 
wards the  raifing  of  this  great  and  honourable  buil- 
ding, and  fearing  that  they  Ihould  be  of  little  ufe  after 

my 


(^  Troeme. 


my  deceafe,  being  very  Oiort,  and  not  eafily  of  others 
to  be  underftood,   if  I  fliould  have  left  them  as  they 


were. 


Out  of  the  duty  that  I  owe  to  his  moft  excellent  Ma- 
jefty,  and  my  Zeal  and  Aflfediion  to'  the  whole  Com- 
monwealth, I  have  adventured  to  break  the  Ice  here- 
in, and  to  publilh  more  at  large  thofe  things  whicii 
in  our  reading,  we  had  obferved  concerning  Jurifdi- 
6tion  of  Courts.  I  confefs  it  is  a  labour  of  as  great 
pains  as  difficulty  :  for  as  in  an  high  and  large  buil- 
ding, he  that  beholds  the  fame  after  it  is  fimfhed,  and 
furnilhed ,  feeth  not  the  carriages ,  fcaffolding ,  and 
other  inviflble  works  of  labour,  induftry  and  skill  in 
Architecture :  fo  he  that  looketh  on  a  book  full  of 
variety  of  important  matter,  efpecially  concerning  fa- 
cred  Laws,  after  it  is  printed  and  fairly  bound  and 
poiilhed,  cannot  fee  therein  the  carriage  of  the  mate- 
rials, the  fearching,  finding  out,  perufing  and  digeft- 
ing  of  Authorities  in  Law,  Rolls  of  Parliament,  Ju- 
dicial Records,  Warrants  in  Law,  and  other  invifible 
works,  tarn  labom,  qua??i  ^  in^nii :  yet  I  was  the  ra-  *  ^'mrvd,  paj} 
ther  incouraged  thereunto,  both  becaufe  I  have  pub-  ""^"^ '" '"'"^' 
liihed  nothing  herein,  but  that  which  is  grounded  up- 
on the  Authorities  and  Reafon  of  our  Books ,  Rolls 
of  Parliament,  and  other  judicial  Records,  and  efpe- 
,  cially  upon  the  refolution  of  the  Judges  of  later  times 
upon  mature  dehberation  in  many  cafes  never  pub- 
lifhed  before  5  wherewith  I  was  well  acquainted,  and 
which  I  obferved  and  fet  down  in  writing,  while  it  was 
frerti  in  memory. 

There  be  amongft  the  Kings  Records  divers  and 
many  Rolls,  whereof  you  fhall  find  little  or  no  men-

Rot.  Contrarienfiiim  (  And  the  reafon  of  the  naming  of 
this  Roll  thus  was,  for  that  Thomas  Earl  of  Lancajler 
( a  man  fingularly  beloved )  taking  part  with  the  Barons 
againft  King  E.2.  in  hatred  of  the  Spencers,  it  was  not 
thought  fafe  for  <he  King,  in  refpe(5l  of  their  power 
and  greatnefs,  to  name  them  Rebels  or  Traytors,  but 
Contrarients )  and  fome  others.  In  this  and  other  parts 
of  our  Inftitutes  we  cite  divers  Records  out  of  many  of 
thefe  Rolls :  Herein,  as  in  the  reft  of  our  works,  you 
fhall  obfervc,  that  in  the  courfe  of  our  reading  we  took 
all  in  our  way,  and  omitted  little  or  nothing,  for  there 
is  no  knowledge  (feemeth  it  at  the  firft  of  never  fo  little 
moment )  but  it  will  ftand  the  diligent  obferver  in  ftead 
at  one  time  or  other. 

And  thus  for  all  our  pains,  wiihing  the  benevolent 
Reader  all  the  profit,  we  {favente  Deo  isr  aufpice  Chrifto ) 
begin  with  the  High  and  moft  Honourable  Court  of

be  advertifed,  that  according  to  your  Letters  in  that  behalf,  we  liave  heard  the  mat- 
ter touching  the  fearm  of  the  Alnage  and  meafurage  that  is  fought  to  be  granted  by 
his  Majefty  of  fundry  kinds,  as  well  of  new  made  Drapery,  as  of  other  Stutfs  made 
within  this  Realm.  And  upon  hearing  as  well  of  fome  of  the  part  of  tiie  Mafter 
of  Orkney,  as  others,  both  of  the  behalf  of  the  Duke  of  Lenox  and  Maftcr  Shaw, 
have  informed  our  felvcs  touching  the  fame.  And  for  our  opinions  we  are  refol-  See  Rot.  ParJ.

ding  to  the  Statute  o£  27  E.3.  and  within  the  office  of  the  ancient  Alnage,  as  may  See  Rot.  Pari, 
appear  by  feveral  decrees  in  that  behalf  made  in  the  Exchequer  in  the  time  of  the  9  H.  4.  nu.  54. 
late  Queen.    But  as  touching  Furtians,  Canvas,  Sackcloth  and  fuch  like,  made  ^^^"''^J' 5'°  J"' 
meerly  of  other  fluff  then  Wool,  or  being  but  mixed  with  Wool,  we  are  of  Opi-  ena'ft.  1 1  H  4-  nu. 
rion,  that  no  charge  can  be  inipofed  for  the  fearch  or  meafurage  thereof,  but  that  26.  for  remnants 
all  fuch  Patents  fo  made  are  void,  as  may  appear  by  a  Record  of  the  1 1  year  of  of  Cloth,  &c. 
H.  4.  wherein  the  reafon  of  the  Judgment  is  particularly  mentioned,  which  we  "  H4.C.7.  Stat.2. 
held  not  amifs  to  fet  down  to  your  Lordlhips,  which  is  thus.  The  fame  King  H.4. 
granted  the  meafurage  of  all  Woollen  Cloth  and  Canvas  that  (hould  be  brought  to 
London  to  be  fold  by  any  ftranger  or  denizen  (  except  he  were  free  of  London  ) 
taking  one  half  penny  for  every  piece  of  Cloth  fo  meafured  of  the  feller,  and  one 
other  half  penny  of  the  buyer,  and  fo  after  the  rate  for  a  greater  or  lefTer  quantity, 
and  one  penny  for  meafuring  of  100  Ells  of  Canvas  of  the  feller,  and  fo  much 
more  of  the  buyer.     And  although  it  were  averred  that  two  other  had  enjoyed 
the  fame  office  before  with  the  like  fees,  viz.  one  Sheri/ig  by  the  fame  Kings  grant, 
and  one  Clythcroe  before  by  the  grant  (5f  King  R.  2,  yet,  amongrt  other  reafons 
of  the  Judgment,  it  was  fet  down  and  adjudged,  that  the  former  pofTelLion  was  by 
extortion  and  coertion,  and  without  right,  and  that  thofe  Patents  were  //;  oneratio^ 
nem^  oppreffionem  &  depauperationem  populi  Domini  Kegk,  &  non  in  cmaidationan  cjnf' 
dem  poptili^  &c.  and  no  benefit  to  the  King,  and  therefore  the  Patents  void.     And 
as  touching  the  narrow  new  (tuff  made  in  Norwich  and  other  places  with  worlkad 
yarn,  we  are  of  opinion  that  it  is  not  grantable,  nor  tit  to  be  granted,  for  we  can- 
not find,  that  there  was  ever  any  Alnage  upon  Norwich  worlleads.    And  tor  thcfe 
Huffs,  if  after  they  be  made  and  tacked  up  for  fale  by  the  makers  thereof,  they 
(hould  be  again  opened  to  be  viewed  and  meafured,  they  will  not  well  fall  into 
their  old  plaits  to  be  tacked  up  as  before,  which  will  be  (  as  is  affirmed  )  a  great     • 
hinderance  to  the  fales  thereof  in  grofs,  for  that  they  will  not  then  appear  to  be 
fo  merchandizable,  as  they  were  upon  the  firft  making  of  them  up.     And  even  fo 
we  humbly  take  our  leaves.     Serjeants-Inn,  the  2 4  of  June,  1605.     'llKllliclj  Cer:*

EPILOGUE 


Hus  have  we  by  the  great  goodnefs  of  the  Almighty- 
brought  this  painful  Work,  confifting  of  fuch,  and 
fo  many  varieties  and  difficulties,  concerning  the 
Jurifdiftion  of  fuch,  and  fo  many  diftind  Courts 
(  above  the  number  of  loo.)  to  a  eonclufion :  and 
in  fome  few  cales,  where  we  have  differed  from 
^^  others  in  opinion,  we  have  {hewed  the  caufe  and 
beginning  of  thefe  errors  (  as  we  take  them :)  for  it  is  a  fure  Rule, 
^od  errores  ad  fua  priticipia  refirre,  eji  refel/ere,  to  bring  errors  to 
their  firft,  is  to  lee  their  laft.  Wherein  we  have  ftrengthened  our 
opinion  with  our  two  great  guides.  Authority  and  Reafon,  and  not 
trufted  Abridgements,  Polyanthea's,  or  taken  any  thing  Upon  truft, 
but  have  fearched  the  Fountains  themfelves,  alway  holding  this

Throughout  all  this  Treatife  we  have  dealt  clecrly  and  plainly 
concerning  fome  pretended  Courts,  which  either  are  no  Courts  war-
