The Translator's Advertisement to the Ingenious Readers.
WHo are to understand that the intent of our Author in the Originall, was no wayes to traduce the Reverend Authority of the English Laws, nor any of the Honourable, or o∣ther subordinate professors of them, but only to re∣flect on those persons who being possessed with as much Impudence as Ignorance, doe pretend to the highest knowledge of the Laws, when indeed they deserve not the appellation of Apprentices therein.
If the Latine tongue were ever the Language of the Beast, it is in the Mouths of these persons. In the English Translation we have all along inser∣ted the Latine Barbarismes, not only to render these Soloecismes to be the more abandoned and ri∣diculous, but withall to satisfie the method of Ingenuity, which is to give Light as well as De∣light unto her Readers.
