ORDINANCES IN CHANCERY. 281 



the late royal decision of his majesty, of record, after 

 solemn and great deliberation : but in such suits it 

 is ordered, that bond be put in with good sureties to 

 prove the suggestions of the bill. 



34. Decrees upon suits brought after judgment 

 shall contain no words to make void or weaken the 

 judgment, but shall only correct the corrupt consci 

 ence of the party, and rule him to make restitution, 

 or perform other acts, according to the equity of the 

 cause. 



35. The registers are to be sworn, as hath been 

 lately ordered. 



36. If any order shall be made, and the court 

 not informed of the last material order formerly 

 made, no benefit shall be taken by such order, as 

 granted by abuse and surreption ; and to that end 

 the registers ought duly to mention the former order 

 in the later. 



37. No order shall be explained upon any pri 

 vate petition but in court as they are made, and the 

 register is to set down the orders as they were pro 

 nounced by the court, truly, at his peril, without 

 troubling the lord chancellor, by any private attend 

 ing of him, to explain his meaning ; and if any 

 explanation be desired, it is to be done by public 

 motion, where the other party may be heard. 



38. No draught of any order shall be delivered 

 by the register to either party, without keeping a 

 copy by him, to the end that if the order be not 

 entered, nevertheless the court may be informed
