To the READER Reader IF any actions of men may be though praise worthy certainly it must be their endeavours for the publicke good and above all the preservation of the common Peace and propriety of meum and tuum one amongst another for which end and aim only the Law was ordained and to that very intent and purpose was this ensuing Treatise composed not thereby to gain applause but that others may by it reap profit For if the Country-Courts were duely kept as they ought to be both Court-Leet and Court-Baron in every Mannor the common people need not so complain for the want of due Administration of Justice as they do nor be forced to seek so far and trouble the Superior Courts with so many petty Actions wherein the damage can never countervail the charge And for the Court of Survey as there is nothing more necessary so would it appear in the end there can be nothing more profitable if the Lords and Tenants would agree together in their several Mannors and cause Surveys and Terrars to be made of every one's Estate with the Title and this keep as a Record amongst themselves thousands of tedious Suits touching Titles of Land to the undoing of many Families might be avoided and the right Heir and Owner peaceably enjoy his own if this course were taken but once in an age I the rather put down the Abstract of Penal Statutes because of the daily breach of them to direct those that will how to punish the Offenders and the voluminous bulk of the Statutes themselves come not to the view of every one Gratefully therefore take this small Branch every one that wishes well to the Peace of English Sion for the Head and Members whereof remains a daily Orator 27 April 1657.
