therefore whereas there are many Ieofailes & rubs that lie in the Allies of Iustice , that poore men are overborne in their righteous causes by full purses which the Reverend Iudges proceeding regularly as they find the course of the Court , cannot remedie without the power of Parliament ; I have seriously thought that oppressions in Courts of Iustice have been spun by the late Courtiers with so fine a threed that few but those that daily meet with it in practise can see it , and therefore unlesse it please God to move the hearts of the honorable Iudges in pure love to Iustice to propound fit remedies to the Parliament , plaisters that may be large enough for the wound , I meane an Act of Retranchement to cut off all unnecessary delayes , and expences in matter of Iustice , between man and man ; that poore men may have it for Gods sake , & the rich for reasonable consideration ; it will lye very remote from the understandings of many worthy publike spirited men what course to take therein ; without which all the warres have been but as purgings and vomitings ; the health of a State consisting in the equallity and harmony of Iustice ; and all Martiall Iustice is sanctified by the Civill Iustice ; as for example , if one of the Reverend Iudges would make it his suite to the Parliament , that a bargaine and sale might be as strong , as a fine & Recovery , that a poore Farmer , or Cottager might leave some small portions to his yonger Children without paying one or two yeares purchase for the charge of a fine , and recovery , what an ease might this be to men of small estates to passe them from one to another , and to cut off Intailes by a deed in writing without so much solemnitie and expence ; if another would set forth the unprofitablenes of Outlawries which are to no purpose but to multiply expence ; And a third be earnest for an Act to plead the generall Issue in all Actions , and at the Assises to insist wholly upon the merit of the Cause whether the money be due or not , whether the Plaintiffe have right to the Land or not ; I am confident it would make sweet musicke in Parliament ; I do not intend to dispute the lawfulnes of Legall proceedures in point of conscience to them that Iudge them so , but in point of comfort at the day of Iudgment let me humbly propound this to those that sit in the seat of Iustice , whether it appearing to them that the defendant hath paid the money though it be after the day of payment limited in the Condition , or that the money is payd upon a single Bill , where payment by Law is no plea ; or that the Plaintiff in an Ejectment hath a cleere right to the Land , but the lease , Entry , and Ejectment was not proved in due forme of Law , or if a wilfull murder be committed , and so found by the Iury but there is a word mistaken in the Indictment whereby the murderer escapes for that Assises and so the matter compounded , or the prosecutor desists , and the Plaintiff in the Ejectment must begin againe having lost his own charges and payd above five pound costs to the defendant , who continues the wrong & keeps the Lands unjustly from the plaintif , & the defendant that hath paid the money is forced to fly into Chancery for reliefe where the unjust Plaintiff at Law refuses to appeare or else demurrs , because he hath a Iudgement at Law , or the witnesses dead , and so the poore defendant taken in execution and buried above ground in prison for ten pound where the principle debt was but five pound , and that paid , ( though not at the prefixt day and so proved to the Iury , ) I say whether it would not be easier for thē to give an accompt of reforming such errors then otherwise ; but if by the Parliaments intention in altering the Iudges oathes enjoyning them onely to proceed according to Iustice , the Iudge may not of himselfe moderate such like extremities ; then of what huge concernment must it needs be , humbly and earnestly to sollicite for present remedies , for what souldier can with comfort fight with a blunt sword ? it is a great joy to Physicians to cure their Patients , but if any dye under their hands when they might by a little more then ordinary trouble have recovered them ; it cannot but be a purgatory to an Ingenious spirit ; certainly that Iudge which helps a man to his right and thereby preserves a family from beggery deserves as much as he that cures a man of a desperate fever .

Cromwel entered the Commons House , and received thanks for his great services , which had been more Honourable for him to receive in a full and free House , then in an empty and forced ; the House ( by reason of the restrained and excluded Members , with others driven away by this horrid violence ) being not above 80. in Number , having formerly resolved not to proceed till their Members were restored , and the force upon them removed ; after some debate and opposition , the House was divided upon this Question , whether they should now proceed or not ? which was carryed in the affirmative , 50. keywords: army; commons; house; members; officers; parliament; prisoners; sir; text cache: A91305.xml plain text: A91305.txt item: #27 of 30 id: A91867 author: Robins, Robert. title: Reasons to resolve the unresolved people of the legality of the Kings tryal and judgment. / By Rob.

And yet let us but look a litttle further than the gilded , and embroydered superficies , and we shall perceive that these Lordlings estate was but even by so much more free , and happy than the Commons , by how much that King of Cypresses condition was bettered , when his Iron shackles and chains were converted into silver fetters : they enjoyed a little more gaudie servitude , and to speak to the capacity of our Countryman were as the Fore-horses in the teame , which though they weare , the Feather , and have the Bels about their eares , yet must draw themselves as well as those that follow ; nay and if they did seem unwilling to lead , they were sure to be lash'd by the Royall Carters till the bloud came , and have their gay trappings to boot pul'd over their eares : and this the wise and generous of them knew , and often endeavoured to remedy , but were still prevented by the envy and jealousie one of another , which was created and cast in among them by their Kings , as partly will appeare in the following story . keywords: ancestors; barons; brother; cause; earl; england; english; god; good; hath; henry; king; kingdom; legat; liberties; liberty; like; london; lords; marks; money; nation; non; norman; oath; oxford; parliament; people; pope; power; royall; set; strangers; text; time; tyranny; tyrants; year cache: A96861.xml plain text: A96861.txt item: #30 of 30 id: B06712 author: A learned and truly loyal gentleman. title: A worthy panegyrick upon monarchy; written anno MDCLVIII. / By a learned and truly loyal gentleman, for information of the miserably mis-led Commonwealths-Men (falsely so called) of that deluded age; and now revived by one that honours the author, and the established government of these nations. date: 1680.0 words: 1564 flesch: 69 summary: Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL).
