Freeholders which are so called because they hold Lands or Tenements inheritable by a perpetual Right to them and their heirs for ever there are in England a very great number of Copyholders who hold Lands within some Mannors only by Copy of Court Roll of the said Mannour c. have Jus perpetuum utile Dominium though not Allodium directum Dominium which none in England but the King hath Amongst the Commons of England in the next place are reckoned Tradesmen amongst whom Merchants of Forrein Trafick have for their great benefit to the publick for their great Endowments and generous living been of best repute in England and although the Law of England look upon Tradesmen and Chapmen that live by buying and selling as a baser sort of people and that a Ward within age may bring his Action of Disparagement against his Guardian for offering any such in Marriage yet in England as well as Italy to become a Merchant of Forreign Commerce without serving any Apprentisage hath been allowed as no disparagement to a Gentleman born especially to a younger Brother Amongst Tradesmen in the next place are Whole-sale-men then Retailers lastly Mechanicks or Handy-crafts-men These are all capable of bearing some Sway or Office in Cities and Towns Corporate The lowest Member the Feet of the Body Politique are the Day-Labourers who by their large Wages given them and the cheapness of all Necessaries enjoy better Dwellings Diet and Apparel in England than the Husbandmen do in many other Countries Liberties and Properties As the Clergy and Nobility have certain Priviledges peculiar to themselves so they have Liberties and Properties common to the Commonalty of England The Commons of England for hereditary fundamental Liberties and Properties are blest above and beyond the Subjects of any Monarch in the World First No Freemen of England ought to be imprisoned or otherwise restrained without cause shewn for which by Law he ought to be so imprisoned Secondly To him that is imprisoned may not be denied a Writ of Habeas Corpus if it be desired Thirdly If no cause of Imprisonment be alledged and the same be returned upon an Habeas Corpus then the Prisoner ought to be set at Liberty Fourthly No Soldiers can be quartered in the House of any Freeman in time of Peace without his will though they pay for their quarters Fifthly Every Freeman hath such a full and absolute propriety in Goods that no Taxes Loans or Benevolences can be imposed upon them without their own consent by their Representative in Parliament Moreover They have such an absolute Power that they can dispose of all they have how they please even from their own Children and to them in what inequality they will without shewing any cause which other Nations governed by the Civil Law cannot do Sixthly No Englishman may be prest or compelled unless bound by his Tenure to march forth of his County to serve as a Souldier in the wars except in case of a Forreign Enemy invading or a Rebellion at home Nor may he be sent out of the Realm against his will upon any forreign Employment by way of an honourable Banishment Seventhly No Freeman can be tried but by his Peers nor condemned but by the Laws of the Land or by an Act of Parliament Eighthly No Freeman may be fined for any Crime but according to the merit of the Offence alwayes salvo sibâ— contenemente suo in such manner that he may continue and go on in his Calling Briefly If it be considered only that they are subject to no Laws but what they make themselves nor no Taxes but what they impose themselves and pray the King and Lords to consent unto their Liberties and Properties must be acknowledged to be transcendent and their worldly condition most happy and blessed and so far above that of the subjects of any of our Neighbour Nations that as all the Women of Europe would run into England the Paradise of Women if there were a Bridge made over the Sea so all the Men too if there were but an Act for a general Naturalizati-of all Aliens Of the Women Children and Servants of England TOuching the Women of England there are divers things considerable in the English Laws and Customs Women in England with all their Moveable Goods so soon as they are married are wholly in potestate viri at the will and disposition of the Husband If any Goods or Chattels be given to Feme Covert to a Married Woman they all immediately become her Husbands She cannot let set sell give away or alienate any thing without her Husbands consent Her very Necessary Apparel by the Law is not hers in property If she hath any Tenure at all it is in Capite that is she holds it of and by her Husband who is Caput mulieris and therefore the Law saith Uxor fulget radiis mariti All the Chattels personal the Wife had at the Marriage is so much her Husbands that after his death they shall not return to the Wife but go to the Executor or Administrator of the Husband as his other Goods and Chattels except only her Parapherna which are her Necessary Apparel which with the consent of her Husband she may devise by Will not otherwise by our Law because the property and possession even of the Parapherna are in him The Wife can make no Contract without her Husbands consent and in Law matters sine viro respondere non potest The Law of England supposeth a Wife to be in so much Subjection and Obedience to her Husband as to have no will at all of her own Wherefore if a Man and his Wife commit a felony together the Wife by the Law can be neither Principal nor Accessory the Law supposing that in regard of the subjection and obedience she owes to her Husband she was necessitated thereunto The Law of England supposes in the Husband a power over his Wife as over his Child or Servant to correct her when she offends and therefore he must answer for his Wives faults if she wrong another by her Tongue or by Trespass he must make satisfaction So the Law makes it as high a Crime and allots the same punishment to a Woman that shall kill her Husband as to a Woman that shall kill her Father or Master and that is Petty Treason and to be burnt alive So that a Wife in England is de jure but the best of Servants having nothing her own in a more proper sense than a Child hath whom his Father suffers to call many things his own yet can dispose of nothing The Woman upon Marriage loseth not onely the power over her person and her will and the property of her Goods but her very Name for ever after she useth her Husbands Surname and her own is wholly laid aside which is not observed in France and other Countries where the Wife subscribes her self by her Paternal Name as if Susanna the Daughter of R. Clifford be married
to E. Chamberlayn she writes her self Susanna Clifford Chamberlayn Notwithstanding all which their condition de facto is the best in the World for such is the good nature of Englishmen towards their Wives such is their tenderness and respect giving them the uppermost place at Table and elsewhere the right hand every where and putting them upon no drudgery and hardship that if there were a Bridge over into England as aforesaid it is thought all the Women in Europe would run thither Besides in some things the Laws of England are above other Nations so favourable to that Sex as if the Women had voted at the making of them If a Wife bring forth a Child during her Husbands absence though it be for some years within England and not beyond the Seas that Husband must father that Child If a Wife bring forth a Child begotten by any other before Marriage yet the present Husband must own the Child and that Child shall be his Heir at Law The Wife after her Husbands death may challenge the third part of his yearly Rents of Lands during her life and within the City of London a third part of all her Husbands moveables for ever As the Wife doth participate of her Husband Name so likewise of his Condition If he be a Duke she is a Dutchess if he be a night she is a Lady if he be an Alien made a Denison she is ipso facto so too If a Freeman marry a Bondwoman she is also free during the Coverture wherefore it is said as before Uocor fulget radiis Mariti All Women in England are comprised under Noble or Ignoble Noble Women are so three manner of wayes viz. by Creation by Descent and by Marriage The King the Fountain of Honour may and oft hath created Women to be Baronesses Countesses Dutchesses c. By Descent such Women are Noble to whom Lands holden by such Dignity do descend aâ— Heir for Dignities and Titles of Honour for want of Males descend to Females but to one of them onely because they are things in their own nature entire and not to be divided amongst many as the Lands and Tenements are which descend to all the Daughters equally besides by dividing Dignities the Reputation of Honour would be lost and the Strength of the Realm impaired for the Honour and Chevalry of the Realm doth chiefly consist in the Nobility thereof By Marriage all Women are Noble who take to their Husbands any Baron or Peer of the Realm but if afterwards they 〈◊〉 to Men not Noble they 〈◊〉 their former Dignity and follow the condition of their laâ—â— Husband for eodem modo distolvitur earum Nobilitas quo constituitur But Women Noble by Creation or Descent or Birthright remain Noble though they marry Husbands under their Degree for such Nobility is accounted Character indelebilis Here note that by the Courtesie of England a Woman Noble only by Marriage alwayes retaineth her Nobility but if the Kings Daughter marry a Duke or an Earl illa semper dicitur Regalis as well by Law as Courtesie Noble women in the Eye of the Law are as Peers of the Realm and are to be tried by their Peers and to enjoy most other Priviledges Honour and Respect as their Husbands Only they cannot by the opinion of some great Lawyers maintain an Action upon the Statute De Scandalo Magnatum the Makers of that Statute meaning only to provide in that Case for the Great Men and not for the Women as the words of that Statute seem to import Likewise if any of the Kings Servants within his Check Roll should conspice the death of any Noblewoman this were not Felony as it is if like Conspiracy be against a Nobleman None of the Wives Dignities can come by Marriage to their Husbands although all their Goods and Chattels do onely the Wives Lands are to descend to her next Heir yet is the Courtesie of England such that as the Wife for her Dower hath the third part of her Husbands Lands during her life so the Husband for the Dignity of his Sex and for playing the Man in begetting his Wife with Child which must appear by being born alive shall have all his Wives Lands for his Dower if it may be so called during his life By the Constitutions of England married persons are so fast joyned that they may not be wholly separated by any agreement between themselves but only by Sentence of the Judge and such separation is either a Vinculo Matrimonii and that is ob praecontractum vel ob contractum per metum effectum vel ob frigiditatem vel ob affinitatem sive Censanguinitatem vel ob Saevitiam or else such separation is a Mensa Thoro and that is ob Adulterium The Wife in England is accounted so much one with her Husband that she caunot be produced as a witness for or against her Husband Concerning Children in England The Condition of Children in England is different from those in our Neighbour Countries As Husbands have a more absolute Authority over their Wives and their Estates so Fathers have a more absolute Authority over their Children Fathers may give all their Estates from their own Children and all to any one Child and none to the rest the consideration whereof keeps the Children in great awe Children by the Common Law of England are at certain ages enabled to perform certain Acts. A Son at the age of 14 may choose his Guardian may claim his Lands holden in Socage may consent to Marriage may by Will dispose of Goods and Chattels At the age of 15 he ought to be sworn to his Allegeance to the King At 21 he is said to be of full age may then make any Contracts may pass not only Goods but Lands by Will which in other Countries may not be done till the Annus consistentiae the age of 25 when the heat of youth is somewhat abated and they begin to be staied in mind as well as in growth A Daughter at 7 years is to have aid of her Fathers Tenants to marry her for at those years she may consent to Marriage though she may afterwards dissent At 9 she is dowable as if then or soon after she could virum sustinere and thereby Dotem promereri At 12 she is enabled to ratifie and confirm her former consent given to Matrimony and if at that age she dissent not she is bound for ever she may then make a Will of Goods and Chattels At 14 she may receive her Lands into her own hands and is then out of Wardship if she be 14 at the death of her Ancestor At 16 though at the death of her Ancestor she was under 14 she shall be out of Wardship because then she may take a Husband who may be able to perform Knights-service as well as hers At 21 she is enabled to contract or alienate her Lands by Will or otherwise The Eldest Son inherits all Lands and to the younger Children are disposed Goods and Chattels and commonly the Eldest Sons Wives Portion and besides they are carefully educated in some Profession or Trade If there be no Son the Lands as well as Goods are equally divided amongst the Daughters Concerning Servants in England The Condition of Servants in England is much more favourable than it was in our Ancestors dayes when it was so bad that England was called the Purgatory of Servants as it was and is still the Paradise of Wives and the Hell for Horses Ordinary Servants are hired commonly for one year at the end whereof they may be free giving warning 3 Moneths before and may place themselves with other Masters only it is accounted discourteous and unfriendly to take another Mans Servant before leave given by his former Master and indiscreet to take a Servant without a Certificate of his diligence and of his faithfulness in his Service to his former Master All Servants are subject to be corrected by their Masters and Mistresses and resistance in a Servant is punisht with severe penalty but for a Servant to take away the life of his or her Master or Mistris is accounted a Crime next to High Treason and called Petty Treason and hath a peculiar Punishment Capital Slaves in England are none since Christianity prevailed A Slave brought into England is upon landing ipso facto free from Slavery but not from ordinary service Some Lands in England are holden in Villanage to do some particular Services to the Lord of the Mannor and such Tenants may be called the Lords Servants There is a Twofold Tenure called Villanage one where the Tenure only is servile as to plow the Lords ground sow reap and bring home his Corn dung his Land c. the other whereby both Person and Tenure is servile and bound in all respects at the disposition of the Lord such persons are called in Law pure Villans and are to do all Villanous Services to improve the Land he holds to the Lords use themselves to be wholly at the Lords Service and whatever they get is for their Lord of such there are now but few left in England The nearest to this condition are Apprentices that signifies Learuers a sort of Servants that carry the Marks of pure Villans or Bond-slaves as before in the Chapter of Gentry is intimated differing however in this that Apprentices are Slaves only for a time and by Covenant the other are so at the Will of their Masters FINIS Name Climat Dimensions Aire Soyle Comâ—odities Inhabitants Their Language Stature Dyet Attire Buildings Number of Inhabitants Dispositions and humours of the Inhabitants Recreations Weights and Measures Measures Moneys English Coâ—â—â—tation English Numbring English Names Surnamesâ— Name Title Arms.
