which if any be enter them in the Court-Roll and afterwards proceed to impanne● and swear the Jury for the Inquest Swear first the Fore-man by himself and then the rest by two or three at a time The Oath is usually the same in substance and not differing much in form from the Oath of the Fore-man to a grand Inquest in Assizes and Sessions and might be omitted but lest the young Tyroes might want it I will in insert the method thereof thus The form of the Oath to the Fore man of an Inquest at a Court-Leet You shall diligently enquire and true-presentment make of all such matters as shall be given you in charge the councill for the Lord Protector Commonwealth King or other Title of the supream Magistra●e as the Law commands your fellows and your own you shall well and truly keep you shall not conceal any thing for favour fear promise or affection nor present any thing for lucre hatred or malice but in all ●hings you shall present the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth according to your evidence So help you God and by the contents of this Book The Oath of the rest may follow in this manner All such Oath as A. B. your Fore-man hath taken on his part you and every of you shall well and truly take keep and perform So help you God This being done and Proclamation made for every one to keep silence and give attention the Steward is to proceed to give the Charge which is to consist of these particulars The Charge of a Court-Leet consists of two parts one is things there to be enquired of but not punish●ble there and the other such offe●ces as are three presentable and punishable by Fine Amerciament c. Know then that to avoid needless circumstances we shall briefly tell you that a very proper comparison may be made between the disposure of a Commonwealth and a natural Body as between the Macrocosmus and the Microcosmus The Commonwealth is a Politick Body consisting of a head and members the one subservient to the other in his proper office as the members of the natural body are which maintains a mutual harmony and a flourishing condition in the whole But as the natural body is subject to infirmities so also is the Politick and must be purged the one by the Physitian the other by the Magistrate As in the natural body some diseases are mortal striking at the head thereof some cannot be cured but by Blood-letting others so malignantly Gangreous as the whole member must be cut off to preserve the sound part so in the body Politick there are some mortal diseases striking at the head as Treasons and Petty-treasons as shall now be declared some deadly wounding the members as Murders Manslaughters c. some gangrenging as Robberies F●lonios Bu●glaries and the like as follow Orderly then to escape confusion we shal declare what offences are here at this Court-Leet enquirable and presentable and not here punishable but are by the Steward to be certified to the next Assize or Sessions of the County and then what offences are here to be presented punished and determined The first of all presentable here are High-treasons and Petty-treasons which are diseases striking at the head and thereby if effected to destroy the whole body Presentment therfore is here to be made of all High and Petty Treasons which together with some other crimes incurable but by taking off the peccant member are to be set down in writing intended one part whereof is to remain with the Steward and the other with the Jury and is to be delivered to the Justices of Assize at the next general goal delivery holden for the County Stamford Pl. Coron lib. 2. cap. 24 and Lambert Justice of Peace lib. 4. cap. 6. The Jury therefore is to enquire of all High-treasons that is if any do compass imagine intend or go about to procure the death of the Lord Protector and do declare the same by word writing or any open act or shall go about to make war against the said Lord Protector and this Commonwealth or shall adhere to or hold intelligence with any of the Enemies of this Commonwealth This is High-treason If any person shall counterfeit clip file wash or otherwise counterfeit or falsifie any of the Coyn or Money of this Commonwealth or the Coyn of any other Nation which is currant in this Common-wealth this is High-treason and enquirable here If any shall counterfeit the Privy Seal Signet or Signe Manual of the Lord Protector the great Seal of England or any of the mean Seals of the Common Pleas Upper Bench or Exchequer These are High-treasons and to be enquired of here as Felonies Petty-treasons are if any man kill his Master or Mistress or a woman her husband this is to be enquired of here as Felony In the next place follows an unnatural wicked Crime to be enquired of and that is Murder If any one shall out of malice prepensed or fore-thought kill another this is wilful Murther Man-slaughter is also a species of Murder and here to be enquired of which is if two persons fall out suddenly without any prepensed malice and fight and the one kill the other the Defendant in this case shall have the book for his life but loseth his goods as in the case of Murder so shall also the Defendant lose his goods which kills another se defendendo or in his own defence and the same Law is if it be per infortunium by mis-fortune and this is here to be enquired of as Bloodshed Rape is also here to be enquired of that is if any man lie with or carnally know any woman forcibly against her will if she exceed the age of ten years although she consent afterwards this is Felony by the Statute 22 Edw. 4. And if there be any ayders or assisters therin they are also adjudged Ravishers as well as he that committed the act Carnally to know any woman child under the age of ten years though she do consent it is Felony But in Rape there must be Rem in re penetration as well as emissiô seminis otherwise it is no Felony A Jury ought to be very Carefull herein and not find a bill upon any Sluts oath Adultery is also to be enpuired of as Felony If any man carnally know anothers wife and it be proved either by confession or two witnesses it is Felony but the confession of one party is no evidence against the other nor a husband against his wife nor a wife against her husband The horrendum peccatum non nominandum of man with man or with beast is also Felony Defacing of a mans Physiognomy as cutting off his nose putting out of eyes or cutting out of a mans tongue is Felony Robbery is also here to be enquired of that is if any one take any thing from the person of another violently though it be but the value of a penny it is Felony
