    A Sperchyto Sr. YV. Jones,to he L chief JujHce £>/Irela The Second is, that you be carefull, of the Kings Revenew ? And by little and little , conftitute him, a good Demeafn, if it may be 3 Which hitherto is little,or none. For the Kings Cafe is hard, when every Mans Land, fhall be improved, in value, with increafe ma¬ nifold 5 And the King fhall be tied, to his Dry Rent. My laft Dire&ion, (though firft in weight,) is, that you do all vgood Endeavours^to proceed refolutely, and conftantly (and yet with due Temparance5 and Equality) in Matters ofReligion ? leaft Ireland Civilly become more dangerous to us, then Ireland Savage. So God give you Comfort of your Place. After Sir It illiarn Jones Speech. I had forgotten one Thing, which was this. You may take, exceeding great Comfort, that you fhall ferve, with fuch a Depu¬ ty : One, that (I think)is a Man,ordain3d of God}to dogreat Good' to that Kingdo/ne. And this,! think good, to fay to you $ That the true Temper, of a Chiefjuflice, towards a Deputy, is , Neither fer- villy to fecond him, nor ia&ioufly to oppofe him. TteLord Keepers Speech, in the Exchecqncr; to Sir John Denham } when he was called to be one of the Barons of the Exchecquer.

Both when you wer e Chief Baron? And fince as Counfeller of Ejlate, there in Ireland? where the CounjellQiS you know) doth in great part, mannage, and meffuage, the Revenew. And to both thefe Parts, I will apply fome Admonitions 5 But not vulgar, or difeurfive } But apt for the Times, and in few j words: For they are beft remembred, Firft therefore, above all 9 you ought to maintain, the Kings Prerogative,And to fet down with your felt that the Kings Preroga¬ tive y and the Law? are not two Things ? But the Kings Pre¬ rogative's Law ? And the Principall Part of the Law: TheFirji- Born, or Pars Vrima, of the Law: And therefore, in confeiving,or > maintaining that, you conferve and maintain, the Law. There is not, in the Body of Man, one Law of the Head, and another of the Body, but all is one Entire L aw. The next Point, that l would now ad vife you, is, that you ac~ quaint your felf, diligently, with the Revenew'? And alfowith N 2 the
