PROCEDURE Summary.
One obvious reflection is, that if the Statutes of
an ancient date, such as perhaps for this purpose in a gross view may be said to be the greatest part all that are prior to the reign of Geo. or even to the Restoration, though it must be acknowledged that some which are prior are fuller in these respects, than some which are posterior to this period. are fit to be continued, which establish a summary jurisdiction naked in great measure or
altogether of all those adjective regulations by which
the exercise of it should be governed, are fit to be
continued, these Legislators who at the expense
of so much ingenuity have invented & established
these regulations have been egregiously mispending mispenders
of their time. Not that the observation is unapplicable
to any Statute which wants any thing of
being provided with a compleat apparatus of them.
that is, perhaps one may say, perhaps to any Statute extant:
but though the truth of it is more most glaring
when applied to such as I have described been mentioning.
