III. unto 1 of Ric. III. inclusive), as be chiefly in Use⟳ and Practice, and which are the Foundation of Proceedings both legal and judicial, have⟳ been by me truly and sincerely examined by the original Records thereof remaining in the Tower of London; and the Residue with the Register⟳ of Writs, being the most antient Book of the Law, the old and new Natura Brevium, the Books of Entries, the Books of Years, and Terms of the Law; the best approved, printed, and written Books; and by all such other Circumstances as might best give⟳ Probability of Truth unto the Learned.
