a_o answer_n to_o the_o book_n call_v observation_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a militia_n with_o certain_a statutes_n produce_v for_o the_o choose_n of_o his_o majesty_n sheriff_n and_o other_o

it_o make_v nothing_o for_o he_o 2_o he_o say_v the_o peer_n in_o parliament_n be_v to_o judge_v of_o any_o wrong_n do_v by_o the_o king_n to_o his_o subject_n howsoever_o it_o be_v then_o we_o know_v no_o other_o way_n of_o redress_n now_o but_o by_o petition_n the_o king_n may_v have_v be_v sue_v by_o writ_n as_o a_o common_a person_n but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o now_o witness_n bracton_n li._n

which_o belong_v of_o right_a to_o be_v maintain_v by_o the_o inhabitant_n yet_o he_o have_v do_v it_o free_o from_o time_n beyond_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n he_o shall_v now_o be_v compel_v to_o

make_v by_o his_o writ_n justice_n of_o peace_n who_o be_v to_o execute_v justice_n according_a to_o the_o law_n yet_o it_o be_v mere_o by_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n and_o in_o his_o name_n and_o by_o power_n delegated_a from_o he_o and_o no_o otherwise_o shall_v we_o instance_n in_o major_n or_o other_o officer_n in_o corporation_n choose_v by_o the_o commonalty_n yet_o i_o hope_v the_o

execute_v justice_n in_o his_o name_n so_o for_o coroner_n and_o sheriff_n the_o one_o make_v by_o the_o king_n writ_n the_o other_o by_o his_o patent_n but_o neither_o of_o they_o to_o do_v their_o

may_v be_v choose_v in_o parliament_n answ_n be_v it_o so_o petition_n be_v not_o always_o grant_v and_o himself_o make_v a_o quaeâ—s_n what_o then_o yet_o i_o hope_v they_o never_o dream_v but_o to_o allow_v the_o king_n a_o negative_a voice_n at_o least_o in_o case_n he_o show_v cause_n of_o the_o ill_a election_n of_o any_o officer_n and_o so_o our_o author_n be_v as_o far_o wide_a of_o the_o mark_n as_o ever_o our_o rhymer_n have_v show_v the_o ancient_a constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n come_v to_o a_o modern_a but_o be_v most_o of_o it_o little_a to_o the_o purpose_n we_o will_v only_o observe_v his_o wise_a passage_n he_o confess_v now_o the_o choice_n of_o sheriff_n be_v commit_v to_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n treasurer_n etc._n etc._n but_o after_o he_o have_v make_v a_o quaere_fw-la whether_o if_o this_o choice_n shall_v fail_v in_o time_n or_o place_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o no_o he_o than_o make_v a_o silly_a objection_n thus_o do_v not_o the_o king_n usual_o make_v and_o appoint_v sheriff_n of_o every_o county_n by_o his_o prerogative_n this_o weak_a and_o silly_a objection_n like_o himself_o he_o frame_v to_o the_o same_o as_o silly_a a_o answer_n for_o be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o king_n can_v by_o law_n make_v any_o one_o sheriff_n by_o his_o patent_n except_o he_o be_v first_o choose_v according_a to_o the_o statute_n of_o lincoln_n yet_o sir_n you_o come_v short_a of_o your_o purpose_n for_o what_o logic_n be_v this_o the_o king_n can_v legal_o by_o his_o patent_n make_v a_o sheriff_n except_o he_o be_v first_o choose_v according_a to_o the_o statute_n of_o lincoln_n ergo_fw-la if_o the_o sheriff_n be_v not_o choose_v according_a to_o the_o statute_n of_o lincoln_n the_o county_n may_v make_v one_o for_o the_o difference_n be_v apparent_a between_o choose_v and_o make_v of_o a_o sheriff_n the_o latter_a be_v do_v only_o by_o the_o king_n letter_n patent_n but_o beside_o sir_n be_v it_o ever_o so_o since_o sheriff_n execute_v that_o office_n of_o trust_n as_o minister_n to_o his_o majesty_n that_o they_o be_v place_v in_o office_n by_o the_o county_n without_o the_o royal_a assent_n how_o absurd_a a_o thing_n be_v this_o they_o be_v to_o execute_v the_o king_n process_n to_o keep_v the_o king_n peace_n to_o give_v account_n of_o his_o revenue_n in_o their_o county_n due_a by_o forfeiture_n outlaw_n waife_n estray_v etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o the_o king_n shall_v have_v no_o hand_n in_o choose_v he_o how_o absurd_o do_v this_o man_n talk_v but_o he_o make_v a_o further_a quaere_fw-la whether_o if_o no_o sheriff_n be_v legal_o choose_v whether_o the_o freeholders_n may_v not_o choose_v one_o he_o think_v they_o may_v let_v we_o see_v his_o reason_n 1._o otherwise_o there_o will_v be_v a_o fail_n of_o justice_n if_o he_o mean_v by_o fail_v of_o justice_n a_o neglect_v of_o the_o orderly_a way_n for_o choose_v sheriff_n it_o be_v true_a but_o if_o he_o mean_v a_o fail_v of_o execution_n of_o justice_n to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o county_n for_o want_v of_o a_o legal_a choose_n of_o a_o sheriff_n it_o be_v questionable_a as_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o sheriff_n make_v only_o by_o the_o patent_n of_o the_o king_n may_v execute_v justice_n in_o the_o county_n although_o he_o want_v a_o legal_a choose_n his_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o statute_n be_v the_o affirmative_a and_o so_o alter_v not_o the_o common_a law_n what_o a_o argument_n be_v here_o take_v upon_o trust_n for_o though_o in_o some_o case_n it_o may_v peradventure_o hold_v yet_o common_a experience_n show_v the_o rule_n to_o be_v very_o far_o from_o be_v universal_a what_o say_v you_o to_o the_o statute_n which_o give_v cestuy_a que_fw-fr use_n power_n to_o make_v lease_n be_v not_o the_o canon_n law_n alter_v which_o will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o make_v any_o before_o but_o it_o will_v be_v say_v this_o take_v not_o away_o the_o power_n of_o the_o feoffee_n but_o that_o they_o may_v still_o make_v lease_n that_o be_v not_o the_o matter_n for_o in_o the_o former_a point_n there_o be_v plain_o a_o alteration_n by_o a_o statute_n in_o the_o affirmative_a but_o what_o say_v he_o to_o the_o statute_n of_o 27._o hen._n 8._o which_o say_v the_o state_n and_o possession_n in_o land_n shall_v be_v full_o in_o cestuy_a use_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o use_n be_v i_o hope_v by_o this_o affirmative_a statute_n canon_n law_n be_v clear_o alter_v which_o adjudge_v the_o state_n and_o right_a to_o be_v in_o the_o feoffee_n it_o be_v now_o no_o time_n to_o trace_v he_o in_o the_o
