The arch bishop of Canterbury ... hath... power of granting

dispensations in any case, not contrary to the holy scriptures

and the law of God, when the pope used to grant them. I 369

A parson....is called parson, persona,

because by his person the church, which is an invisible body is

represented; he is in himself a body corporate. I 372

3

Induction is performed ... by giving the clerk corporal possession of

the church, as by holding the ring of the door, tolling a bell or

the like. I 379

4

A settled maxim, that in judicio non

creditur nisi juratis. I 390

8

Slavery ... is repugnant to reason and the principles of natural law.

I 411

9

The law of England abhors, and will not endure the existence of,

slavery within this nation. I 412

10

If the hiring [of a servant] be general ... the law construes it to be

a hiring for a year; upon a principle of natural equity. I 413

11

this loss must be proved upon the trial. I 417

12

Qui facit per alium faut per

se. I 417

13

A wife, a friend, ... that use to transact business for a man are

quodo hoc his servants; & the principal

must answer for their conduct, for the law implies, that they act

under a general command. I 418

14

The wrong done by the servant is looked upon in law as the wrong

By marriage the husband & wife are one person in law: that is the

performs every thing. I 430

21

A wife ... shall sue & be sued as a feme

sole

... where the husband has abjured the realm, or is banished: for

then he is dead in law. I 431

22

Husband ... & ... wife ... are not allowed to be evidence for or

against each other ... because of the union of person: &

therefore, if they were admitted to be witnesses for each other, they would contradict one maxim of law, "

nemo in propria causa testis esse

debet;" & if against

each other, they would contradict another maxim, " nemo tenetur seipsum

accusare." I 431

23

Wife ... cannot by will devise lands to her husband, unless under

special circumstances, for at the time of making it she is

supposed to be under his coercion. I 432
