And allow not the counsel at the bar, eggbea ter with the judge, nor arouse himself into the use of the cause anew, later the judge hath declared his sentence; but, on the other side, let not the judge come across the cause half way, nor give single-valued function to the party, to say his counsel or proofs were not heard.
