A93109	Of corporations, fraternities, and guilds. Or, a discourse, wherein the learning of the law touching bodies-politique is unfolded, shewing the use and necessity of that invention, the antiquity, various kinds, order and government of the same. Necessary to be known not only of all members and dependants of such bodies; but of all the professours of our common law. With forms and presidents, of charters of corporation. / By William Shepheard, serjeant at law.	Sheppard, William, d. 1675?	1659 (1659)	Wing S3195; Thomason E1912_2; ESTC R203559	65,245	193

confirmation_n of_o lord_n or_o judge_n make_v such_o a_o ordinance_n or_o by-law_n good_a 4._o but_o a_o corporation_n may_v make_v such_o by-law_n and_o order_n as_o any_o town_n parish_n or_o
