From this quote, it seems that Coke's refers to a law book.... perhaps
Blackstone's was also?

Being determined to the Law, I read Coke's Institutes, Wood's Instit. Lord
Holt's Rep. Cokes, Ld Raymonds &Salkeld &others Reports. I looked a little into
the Jus Civile, but chiefly studied the common Law of England as most used in
the Colonies--I acquainted myself with the Law practice in Connecticutt &
collected copies of Forms of all Declarations &pleadings in use there. I also
informed myself [upon] the political Constitutions &the judicial Procedures in all
the 13 British provinces; and in my Journeyings thro' five of the Colonies in
the year 1754, I sought Interviews with the Gentlemen of the Law in each,
which I improved to this End. As I found many of these of a deistical Turn, who
also perceived me sceptical, I had also an Oppo of collecting the whole Force of
Deism. One observation I then &have all along made, that I found no
difficulty
