In the meane time know this, that the learning of warranties is one of the most curious and cunning learnings of the law, and of great use and consequence.

The Law ... is perfection of reason.

Precaution is better than a cure.

Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions

For when the law doth give any thing to one, it giveth impliedly whatsoever is necessary for the taking and enjoying of the same.
