The King of Spain was outlawed in West- minster-Hall, I being of Council against him. A Merchant had recovered Costs against him in a Suit, which because he could not get, we advised to have him Outlawed for not appearing, and so he was. As soon as Gondomar heard that, he presently sent the Money, by reason, if his Master had been Outlawed, he could not have the benefit of the Law, which would have been very prejudicial, there being then many suits depending betwixt the King of Spain, and our E...nglish Merchants. JOHN SELDEN 73 4. Every Law is a Contract between the Law King and the People, and therefore to be kept. A Hundred Men may owe me a Hundred Pounds, as well as any one Man ; and shall they not pay me because they are stronger than I ? Objection. Oh ! but they lose all if they keep that Law. Answer. Let them look to the making of their Bargain. If T sell my Lands, and when I have done, one comes and tells me I have nothing else to keep me ; I and my Wife and Children must starve, if I part with my Land ; must I not therefore let them have my Land, that have bought it and paid for it ?
