Sect. 10.
It hath been the wisdom of States to keep and preserve the bounds and limits of their Judicatures evident, and distinct, and as free from controversy as may be. If Laws and Ordinances about matters of mum and ovum, and such inferior claims should not be so evident, the authority of these Courts will be in a readiness to relieve wrongs and injuries through ⟨p. 42⟩such mistakings. But Controversies and clashings about these high and public interests are no other in the issue then the dividing of a Kingdom within it self.
