Self defence therefore, as
it is justly called the
primary law of nature,
so it is not, neither can
it be in fact, taken away
by the law of society. III 4.

As every thing...distreined
is presumed to be
the property of the wrongdoer,

it will follow that
such things, wherein no
man can have an absolute
& valuable property...
all animals fir
nature cannot be distrained.
III 47

Excessive distress... is
... no injury at the
common law.

By our ... constitution the
sole executive power of
the law is vested in the
... king. III 23

In all ... courts the king
is supposed in contemplation
of law to be always present.
III 24.

Records ... are of such
high and supereminent
authority, that their
truth is not to be called
in question. III 24.

A counsellor cannot
demand [fees] without
doing wrong to his reputation.
III 28.

The course of justice
flowing in large streams
from the king, as th fountain
to his superior Courts of Record,
& being then subdivided
into smaller channels, till
the whole & every part of
the kingdom were plentifully
watered & refresh'd.
III 30.

The Court of kings'
bench, by a fiction, ... began
to hold plea of all personal
actions ... it being
supposed surmised that
the clift is arrested for
a supposed trespass which
he never has in reality
committed. III 42

Fictions by which the
superior Court acquire
jurisdiction. III 45.

---page break---

The writ upon which all
the proceedings here [in the
Exchequer Cl] are grounded
is called a quo minus:
in which th peff suggests
that he is the king's
farmer or debtor, of that
the deft hath done him
the injury or damage

complained of: quo
minus sufficiens existit
by which he is the less
able
to pay the king his

debt or rent. III 45

The surmire of being
debtor to the king, is therefore
become matter of
form & mere words of
course <pb/, & th court is
open to all th nation
equally. III 45.

In the court of chancery
... two distinct tribunals:
the one ordinary, being
a court of common law:
the other extraordinary,
being a court of equity.
