Reading edition
See Fortescue de Laud. Legg. Angliæ. cap. xxxiii.—The jealousy with which all attempted encroachments of the Roman law were repelled is manifested in a declaration of Parliament in 1388. “Que ce royalme d’Engleterre n’estait devant ces heures, ne à l’entent du roy nostre dit seignior et seigniors du parlement unque ne serra rulé ne governé par la ley civill.”—Rot. Parl., II Ric. II. (Selden’s Note to Fortescue, loc. cit.).
