low_a orb_n it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v and_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v so_o order_v that_o every_o of_o they_o keep_v themselves_o within_o their_o proper_a sphere_n the_o harmony_n of_o justice_n be_v

on_o the_o king_n part_n the_o execution_n of_o justice_n be_v commit_v to_o his_o judge_n which_o seem_v tobe_n the_o severe_a part_n but_o the_o mild_a part_n which_o be_v mercy_n be_v whole_o

thing_n touch_v the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n in_o england_n which_o be_v superlative_a and_o therefore_o it_o will_v behoove_v i_o to_o speak_v the_o more_o wary_o thereof_o 28._o for_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o it_o be_v very_o ancient_a in_o this_o kingdom_n it_o consist_v of_o the_o two_o house_n of_o peer_n and_o commons_o as_o the_o member_n and_o of_o the_o king_n majesty_n as_o the_o head_n of_o that_o great_a body_n by_o the_o king_n authority_n alone_o and_o by_o his_o writ_n they_o be_v assemble_v and_o by_o he_o alone_o be_v they_o prorogue_v and_o dissolve_v but_o each_o house_n may_v adjourn_v itself_o 29._o they_o be_v thus_o assemble_v be_v more_o proper_o a_o council_n to_o the_o king_n the_o great_a council_n of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o advise_v his_o majesty_n in_o those_o thing_n of_o weight_n and_o difficulty_n which_o concern_v both_o the_o king_n and_o people_n than_o a_o court._n 30._o no_o new_a law_n can_v be_v make_v nor_o old_a law_n abrogate_a or_o alter_v but_o by_o common_a consent_n in_o parliament_n where_o bill_n be_v prepare_v and_o present_v to_o the_o two_o house_n and_o then_o deliver_v but_o nothing_o be_v conclude_v but_o by_o the_o king_n royal_a assent_n they_o be_v but_o embryos_n it_o be_v he_o give_v life_n unto_o they_o 31._o yet_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n have_v a_o power_n of_o judicature_n in_o some_o case_n proper_o to_o examine_v and_o then_o to_o affirm_v or_o if_o there_o be_v cause_n to_o reverse_v the_o judgement_n which_o have_v be_v give_v in_o the_o court_n of_o king_n bench_n which_o be_v the_o court_n of_o high_a jurisdiction_n in_o the_o kingdom_n for_o ordinary_a judicature_n but_o in_o these_o case_n it_o must_v be_v do_v by_o writ_n of_o error_n in_o parliamento_fw-la and_o thus_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o proceed_n be_v not_o absoluta_fw-la potestas_fw-la as_o in_o make_v new_a law_n in_o that_o conjuncture_n as_o before_o but_o limitata_fw-la potestas_fw-la according_o to_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o land_n 32._o but_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o have_v only_a power_n to_o censure_v the_o member_n of_o their_o own_o house_n in_o point_n of_o election_n or_o

of_o parliament_n in_o this_o kingdom_n be_v very_o excellent_a and_o they_o will_v be_v often_o call_v as_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v require_v and_o continue_v as_o long_o as_o be_v necessary_a and_o no_o long_o for_o than_o they_o be_v but_o burden_n to_o the_o people_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o privilege_n just_o due_a to_o the_o member_n of_o the_o two_o house_n and_o their_o attendant_n which_o their_o just_a right_n and_o privilege_n be_v religious_o to_o be_v observe_v and_o maintain_v but_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v unjust_o enlarge_v beyond_o their_o true_a

england_n general_o and_o proper_o so_o call_v because_o it_o be_v most_o general_a and_o common_a to_o almost_o all_o case_n and_o cause_n both_o civil_a and_o criminal_a but_o there_o be_v also_o another_o law_n which_o be_v call_v the_o civil_a or_o ecclesiastical_a law_n which_o be_v confine_v to_o some_o few_o head_n and_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v neglect_v and_o although_o i_o be_o a_o

professor_n of_o that_o law_n call_v civilian_n because_o the_o civil_a law_n be_v their_o guide_n shall_v not_o be_v discountenance_v nor_o discourage_v else_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v have_v

especial_o be_v of_o great_a value_n and_o set_v many_o able-bodied_n subject_n on_o work_n it_o be_v great_a pity_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v industrious_o follow_v 17._o but_o of_o all_o mineral_n

for_o then_o the_o balance_n of_o trade_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v return_v into_o coin_n or_o bullion_n 19_o this_o will_v easy_o be_v effect_v if_o the_o merchant_n be_v persuade_v or_o compel_v to_o make_v their_o return_n in_o solid_a commodity_n and_o not_o too_o much_o thereof_o invanity_n tend_v to_o excess_n 20._o but_o especial_o care_n must_v be_v take_v that_o monopoly_n which_o be_v

and_o that_o this_o commission_n be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o councel-board_n it_o be_v conceive_v it_o will_v produce_v notable_a effect_n vii_o the_o next_o thing_n be_v that_o of_o colony_n and_o

in_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o place_n which_o require_v many_o circumstance_n as_o the_o situation_n near_o the_o sea_n for_o the_o commodiousness_n of_o a_o intercourse_n with_o england_n the_o

as_o be_v not_o already_o plant_v by_o the_o subject_n of_o any_o christian_a prince_n or_o state_n nor_o over-neer_o neighbour_a to_o their_o plantation_n and_o it_o will_v be_v more_o convenient_a to_o be_v choose_v by_o some_o of_o those_o gentleman_n or_o merchant_n which_o move_v first_o in_o the_o work_n then_o to_o be_v design_v unto_o they_o from_o the_o king_n for_o it_o must_v proceed_v from_o the_o option_n of_o the_o people_n else_o it_o sound_v like_o a_o exile_n so_o the_o colony_n must_v be_v raise_v by_o the_o leave_n of_o the_o king_n and_o not_o by_o his_o command_n 3._o after_o the_o place_n be_v make_v choice_n of_o the_o first_o step_n must_v be_v to_o make_v choice_n of_o a_o fit_a governor_n who_o although_o he_o have_v not_o the_o name_n yet_o he_o must_v have_v the_o power_n of_o a_o viceroy_n and_o if_o the_o person_n who_o principal_o move_v in_o the_o work_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o that_o trust_n yet_o he_o must_v not_o be_v exclude_v from_o command_n but_o then_o his_o defect_n in_o the_o govern_n part_n must_v be_v supply_v by_o such_o assistant_n as_o shall_v be_v join_v with_o he_o or_o as_o he_o shall_v very_o well_o approve_v of_o 4._o as_o at_o their_o set_n out_o they_o must_v have_v their_o commission_n or_o letter_n patent_n from_o the_o king_n that_o so_o they_o may_v acknowledge_v their_o dependency_n upon_o the_o crown_n of_o

nature_n of_o law_n unto_o they_o 5._o but_o the_o general_a law_n by_o which_o they_o must_v be_v guide_v and_o govern_v must_v be_v the_o common_a law_n of_o england_n and_o to_o that_o end_n it_o will_v be_v fit_a that_o some_o man_n reasonable_o study_v in_o the_o law_n and_o otherwise_o qualify_v for_o such_o a_o purpose_n be_v persuade_v if_o not_o thereunto_o incline_v of_o himself_o which_o be_v the_o best_a to_o go_v thither_o as_o a_o chancellor_n among_o they_o at_o first_o and_o when_o the_o plantation_n be_v more_o settle_v then_o to_o have_v court_n of_o justice_n there_o as_o in_o england_n 6._o at_o the_o first_o plant_v or_o as_o soon_o after_o as_o they_o can_v they_o must_v make_v themselves_o defensible_a both_o against_o the_o native_n and_o against_o stranger_n and_o to_o that_o purpose_n they_o must_v have_v the_o assistance_n of_o some_o able_a military_a man_n and_o convenient_a arm_n and_o ammunition_n for_o their_o defence_n 7._o for_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n in_o those_o part_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a that_o it_o agree_v with_o that_o which_o be_v settle_v in_o england_n else_o it_o will_v make_v a_o schism_n and_o a_o rent_n in_o christ_n coat_n which_o must_v be_v seamless_a and_o to_o that_o purpose_n it_o will_v be_v fit_a that_o by_o the_o king_n supreme_a power_n in_o cause_n ecclesiastical_a within_o all_o his_o dominion_n they_o be_v subordinate_a under_o some_o bishop_n and_o bishopric_n of_o this_o realm_n 8._o for_o the_o better_a defence_n against_o a_o common_a enemy_n i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v best_a that_o foreign_a plantation_n shall_v be_v place_v in_o one_o continent_n and_o near_o together_o whereas_o if_o they_o be_v too_o remote_a the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o they_o

in_o a_o short_a time_n they_o may_v build_v vessel_n and_o ship_n also_o for_o traffic_v with_o the_o part_n near_o adjoin_v and_o with_o england_n also_o from_o whence_o they_o may_v be_v furnish_v
