Printed now for the use and benefit of all, but aimed most especially for such as are most conversant in the common-law. By J.H. Gent. With a perfect table in which may be found the principall matters therein contained.	J. H.; Moyle, Robert.	1658 (1658)	Wing M3029; Thomason E757_11; ESTC R207263	271,457	226
