N the two former parts of the Inftscutes we have principally treated De communibtispla-citis, and of thole two great Pronouns {^Meum & Tuum.] In the Third we have handled Pla-cita Corona,and Criminallcaufes. But becaufe Rerum ordo con funditur^ ji unicuique jurisditfto nonfervetur, We in this Fourth and laft part of the Inftitutes are to (peak of the Jurifdiition of the Courts of Juftice within this Realm. tfturisdictio eft autboritas judicandifive jusdicendi ini' partes de actio-nibus perftnarum et rerum fecundumquoddedu^ia fuerunt in judicium per authoritatem or dinari.im feu delegatam.-And again yb ^urisdillio eft po-teftas de publico introdttcla cum necefiitate juris dicendi. It is derived of Jus, and ditio, i. poteftas juris. c Curia hath two feverall lignifications,and accordingly it is leverally derived. It fignifieth the Kings Court,where his royall perfon, and his honourable houlhold doe refide, and is all one with Palatium Re-giam^und is derived ^TO TK ZVe^J ofthe Lord,becaule the Soveraign Lord refideth there. It alfo fignifieth a Tribunall, Or Court of Juftice, as here it doth,and then it is derived a cttra, quia eft locus^ uLi publicas curas ger ebant. Of JurifdiAions fome be Ecclefiafticall, and fome Civill,or Temporal!: of both thefefome be primitive, or ordinary without com-miflion-, fome derivative, or delegate byCommiflion. Of all thefe, fome be of record, and fome not of record-, fome to enquire , hear,and determine, Ibme to enquire only - fome guided by one law, fome by another 3 the bounds of all and every feverall Courts being moft ne-ceflarytobe known. For as the body of man is belt ordered, when every particular member exercifeth his proper duty: fo the body of the Commonwealth is belt governed, when every feverall Court of Juftice executeth his properjurifdiftion. But if theeie, whofeduty is to fee, the hand,to work, the feet,to goe, (lull ufurp, andincroach one upon anothers work: As for example,the hands or feet, the office B of Regula, furifdi^is quid?

A Troeme. oftheeie to fee, and the like^ thefe fhouldaflTuredly produce diforder, and darknelfe, and bring the whole body out of order, and in the end to diftrudion: So in the Common wealth (Juftice being the main preferver thereof) if one Court Ihouldufurp, or incroach upon another , it would introduce incertainty, fubveit Juftice , and bring all things inthe endtoconfufion. 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 the fubjed, and generally to the good of the whole Common wealth (no King inthe Chriftian world having fuch Tribunals, and Scats of juftice, as his Majefty hath, which,God willing, in this Treatife we (hall make to appear) that all the high, honourable, venerable, and necelfary T ribunals, and Courts of Juftice within his Majefties Realms and Dominions,as well Civill as Ecclefiafticall, might be drawn together,as it were,in one map,or table,(which hitherto was never yet done )that the admirable benefit, beauty, & deledable variety thereof might be, as it were, unointuitn beholden, and that the manifold jurifdidions of the lame might be diftindly underftoodand in the preface to obferved. We having (as elfe where we have faid) colleded fome the Firftpart of materials towards the railing of this great and honourable building, theinftitutcs. anj fearing thatthey Ihouldbe of little ufe after my deceafe, being very Ihort, and not ealily of others to be underftood, if I Ihould have left them as they were; Outofthe dutythat lowetohis moftexcellent Majefty, and my zeal,andaffe.ftiontothe whole Common wealth , I have adventured to break the ice herein, and to publifli more at large thole things which in our reading we had obferved concerning Jurifdiftion of Courts. £ confelfeitis a labour of as great pains, as difficulty: for as in an high and large building, he that .beholds the fame after it is finiIhed, and furnilhed, feeth not the carriages, fcaffolding,and other invifible works oflabour,induftry and skill in Architecture: fo he that looketh on a book full ofvariety of important matter, efpecially concerning facred Laws, after .t is printed and fairly bound and polilhed, cannot fee therein the carriage of the materials, the fearching, finding out, perilling, and digefting of authorities in law, Rols of Parliament,judicial! Records, Warrants in law, and other invifible works, tam Libor is.* quant • Minerva,q-iafi *ingeniiiyvi I was the rather incouraged thereunto,both becauft I have ncr-^ minuets. pUbl ifhed nothing herein,but that which is grounded upon the authorities and reafon of our books, Rols of Parliament, and other judicial! Records, and elpei ally upon the refolution of the Judges of latter times upon mature deliberation in many cafes never publiihed before; wherewith I was well acquainted, and which I obfen ed and fet down in writing, while it was frefli in memory. . There be amongft the Kings Records divers and many Rols,where-of you Ihall find little or no mention(that we remember) in our books, viz.-Rar. Parliament. Rot.PLieitornm Corona, Rot.

Judaorum, Rot. Ragman, Brangwin* Rot.Con-trarienfium A Troeme. trarienftum^nd. the reafon ofthc naming of this Roll thus, was for that Ehomas^xX of Lancafter(a man fingulariy beloved)taking part with the Barons againft King E. 2. in hatred of the Spencers, it was not thought fafe for the King, in refpeft of their power and greatnefle, to name them Rebels or Traitors, but Contrarients ) and fome others. In this and other parts of ourlnftitutes we cite divers Records out of many of thefe Rols: Herein, as in the reft of our works, you fhall obferve, that in the cotirfe of our reading we took all in our way, and omitted little or nothing, forthere is no knowledge (feemeth it at the firft of never fo little moment) but it will ftandthe diligent obferver infteadat one time or other. And thus for all our pains,wilhing the benevolent reader all the profit, we {fiverite Deo, & at^ice Chri^o') begin with the High, and moft Honourable Court of Parliament.

Our duties to your Lordfhips remem bred, May it pleafe the fame to be advertifed, that according to your Letters in that.behalf, we have heard the matter touching thefearm of the Alnage, and meafurage, that is fought to be granted by his Majefty of fundry kindes, as well of new made Drapery, as of other Stuffs made within this Realm. And upon hearing as well of Lome of the part of the Mader of Orkney, as of others, both of the behalf of the Duke of Lenox and Mailer Shaw, have informed our felves touching the fame. And for our opinions we are rcfolved, that all new made Drapery made wholly of wool, as Frizadoes, Bayes, Northern Dozens, Northern Cottons, Cloth rafli, ando-ther like Drapery, of what new name foever,for the ufe of mans body, are to yeeld Subfidy and Alnage according to the ilatute of 27 E 3. and within theof-fice oftheancient Alnage, as may appear by feverall decrees in that behalf made in the Exchequer in the time ofthe late Queen. But as touching Fuftians, Canvas, Sackcloth and fuch like made n eerly of other fluff then wool, or being but mixed with wool, we are efopinion, that no charge can beimpofed for the fearch ormeafurage thereof, but that all fuch Parents fo made are void, as may appear by a Record ofthe 1 1. yearofH.4. wherein the reafon ofthe judgment is particularly mentioned, which we held not ami fie to fet down to your Lordfliips, which is thus, The fame King H.4. granted the meafurage of all woollen Clothand Canvas that fhould be brought to London to be fold by any flran-geror denizen (except he were free ofLondonJ taking one half penny for every piece of Cloth fome'afured ofthe feller, and one other half penny of the buyer, and fo after the rate for a greater or lefier quantity, and one penny for the meafuring of 100. els of Canvas of the feller, and fo much more ofthe buyer. And although it were averred that two other had .enjoyed the fame office before with the like fees, cut, one Sheringby the fame Kings grant, and one Clytheroe before by the grant ofKingR.z.yet, amongft other reafons of the Judgment,it was fee down and ad judged,that the former pofiefiion was by extortion, and co-ertion, & without right, and that thole Patents were in onerationem,oppreffionem & dcp.wperationem poptilt domini regts, & non in emendatione ejtudem populi, CFc, and no benefit tothe King, and therefore the Patents void. And as touching the narrow new fluffe made in Norwich and other places with Worfiead yarn, we are of opinion that it is not grantable,nor fit to be granted,for we cannot find,that there waseverany Alnage upon Norwich Worfleads. Andforthefe fluff*’, if after they be made and tacked up for lale by the makers thereof, they fhould be again opened to be viewed and meafured,they will nor well .fall into their old plaits to be tacked up as before, which will be fas is affirmed J a great hinderanceto the fales thereof in groffe, for that they will not then appear to be lb merchandizable, as they were upon the firfl making ofthem up: And even fo we humbly take our leaves.
