The Epistle to the Reader.
TIs a memorable saying, and no lesse antient, than experimentally true, That there would not be wanting Homers, if there were not wanting Alexanders, (non deessent Homeri, si non deessent Alexandri:) 'Tis honour that nourishes Arts, (honos alit artes) and surely I may without the least guile of flattery confidently affirm, That it was a noble and lawfull emulation, to purchase unto themselves deserved honour, that made these venerable Sages of the Law, by their indefatigable labours, to become so transcendent in knowledge; of which, what the learned Heathen once said of Mans Soul, I may now more justly affirm, that it is divina particula, e divina mente delapsa: And sure if there be any study, one more mysterious than other, the Law will in no kind challenge the second place: How much then they deserve, that have enucleated so grand a mystery? nay more, well remembring (that they were not borne for themselves alone, but for their Countries good) have with no small pains; nay, I may rather justly affirm, with an Herculean labour, brought to light so many rich and unparalell'd gemmes of knowledge, as are here commended to thy publique view; A worke (absit jactantia verborum) no lesse usefull than commendable; it were to light a candle at noone day, to speak in the praise of that which abundantly speaks its own worth; and not to commend the Authors, were to discommend my own judgement, who am a true Lover and willing Student of so noble, so necessary, so deservedly commendable a Science; Jus suum, cuique tribuere, is the end of the Law; and I wish every one might attain that end; what a happy Commonwealth should we then have? learning nor learned Men would not then find so many Enemies, it being an undoubted Maxime, Scientiam, non habere majorem inimicum, praeter ignorantem: To [Page]them, I will not commend this work, and to others I need not; it doeth sufficiently commend its self: As it was written for the Weale-Publiques good, so I wish it may publickly be entertained. And thus I silence to speake more, because it doeth highly speak its own worth, all I shall crave from the knowing Reader, is, first to read, then censure. Farewell.
The Stationer, to the courteous Reader.
THough many Books of this nature, have been, by many deserving Men, (maturely verss'd in the knowledge of the Law) formerly commended to the Pressë for the benefit of the Republique; yet witho [...] the least ostentation of this, so industrious, so laborious, so usefull a work, or derogation from others, who have imployed their Talent, to the same end, none, if the opinion of knowing Men, (who had the perusal of this, before it took life from the Presse) doth seem more necessary or usefull for these present times: Here are happy Presidents, selected out of the choicest of former Ages; and although the Law, be a Labyrinth, yet here is an Ariadne's Thred to lead thee out of it; Buy it freely, 'tis for thy own profit, as well as mine, it being a Golden Library, taken out of the principles of Law, which thou mayest purchase for a reasonable summe of Silver; not to presse thee, or to oppresse my self; 'twill counsell thee, without a Counsellours Fee; 'tis then (if I mistake not) good policy, to lay out some money, upon such tearms, as will bring in such gallant usury. Farewell.
