body of man be best order when every  particular member exercise his proper duty so the body of the common wealth be  best govern when every several court of justice execute his proper  jurisdiction but if the eye who duty be to see the hand to work the foot to go  shall usurp and encroach one upon another work as for example the hand or foot  the office of the eye to see and the like these shall assure produce disorder  and darkness and bring the whole body out of order and in the end to  destruction so in the common wealth justice be the main preserver thereof if  one court shall usurp or encroach upon another it will introduce incertainty  subvert justice andbring all thing in the end to confusion now when I consider  how much it will tend to the honour of the king majesty and of his law to the  advancement of justice the quiet of the subject and general to the good of the  whole common wealth no king in the Christian world have such tribunal and seat  of justice as his majesty

honourable building and fear that they shall be of little use after my  decease be very short and not easy of other to be understand if I shall have  leave they as they be out of the duty that I owe to his most excellent majesty  and my zeal and affection to the whole common wealth I have adventure to break  the ice herein and to publish more at large those thing which in our read we  have observe concern jurisdiction of court I confess it be a labour of as  great pain as difficulty for as in a high and large building he that behold  the same after it be finish and furnish see not the carriage scaffold and  other invisible work of labour industry and skill in architecture so he that  look on a book full of variety of important matter especial concern sacred law  after it be print and fair bind and polish can see there in the carriage of  the material the search find out peruse and digest of authority in law roll of  parliament judicial record warrant in law and other invisible work tam  preoccupation how innate quality yet I be the rather encourage thereunto both  because I have publish nothing herein but that which be ground upon the  authority and reason of our book roll of parliament and other judicial record  and especial upon the resolution of the judge of latter time upon mature  deliberation in many case never publish before wherewith I be well acquaint  and which I observe and set down in write while it be fresh in memory there be  among the king record diverse and many roll where of you shall find little or  no mention that we remember in our book videlicet rot parliament rot to please  coronae rot to please parliament rot Claus rot narrow places   that which divides a seeking Liberationum rot Cartarum Eschaetriae pat rot  Ordinationum rot France Scotland Vasconiae Almaniae rot Romana rot judaeorum  rot ragman Brangwin rot Contrariensium and the reason of the name of this roll  thus be for that Thomas earl of Lancaster a man singular belove take part with  the baron against king Edward the second in hatred of the Spencer it be not  think safe for the king in respect of their power and greatness to name they  Rebelsor traitor but Contrarients and some other in this and other part of our  institute we cite diverse record out of many of these roll herein as in the  rest of our work you shall observe that in the course of our read we take all  in our way and omit little or nothing forthere be no knowledge seem it at the  first of never so little moment but it will stand the diligent observer in  stead at one time or other and thus for all our pain wish the benevolent  reader all the profit we to be favorable a god auspice Christ begin with the  high and most honourable court of parliament
