Tit. II. B. & C.

If this Court instead of being instituted proposed with the
purest views had been proposed for the purpose of
promoting litigation and vexation and delay, it
could hardly not have been much better adapted to the
purpose.

No man is to have redress untill he has been before
this Court: and when he has been before them
they can do nothing for him. If he has a bad cause
his cause is a bad one he is to be sent away: if
it is a good one, he is to be sent away: he is to
be in exactly the same case whether he has a good
cause or a bad one.

The cause before the Court which has power to
give relief is not to be commenced before either the Court
which has no such power has either fruitlessly
interposed its mediation or the Defendant has
been fruitlessly summoned before it. The reason
of instituting Courts of Justice with coercive power
to compel obedience to their decrees is that Defendants
without such power would hang back and evade
doing what they ought to. The Defendant therefore you
must take for granted will hang back as long as
the law will let him. The Defendant, if called
in the first instance before the only Court which
has power to compel him to do any thing, will hang back
