and_o therefore_o all_o such_o commission_n be_v null_n and_o void_a that_o be_v they_o be_v no_o commission_n as_o for_o instance_n letter_n patent_n or_o commission_n to_o erect_v a_o court_n with_o

plain_a that_o he_o do_v not_o act_n by_o virtue_n nor_o in_o pursuance_n of_o his_o commission_n who_o exceed_v the_o legal_a power_n and_o authority_n of_o his_o commission_n for_o in_o those_o

to_o the_o intent_n and_o purpose_n of_o his_o commission_n as_o for_o instance_n he_o who_o in_o case_n of_o insurrection_n rebellion_n or_o invasion_n be_v commissionated_a to_o lead_v &_o employ_v

do_v that_o which_o he_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v possible_o be_v authorize_v to_o do_v but_o because_o no_o commission_n can_v be_v give_v no_o power_n can_v be_v grant_v no_o authority_n can_v be_v entrust_v with_o any_o person_n but_o may_v be_v unfaithful_o discharge_v yea_o though_o man_n be_v swear_v to_o the_o due_a and_o impartial_a execution_n of_o it_o it_o may_v be_v make_v a_o question_n whether_o legal_a power_n and_o authority_n which_o be_v not_o due_o and_o true_o and_o impartial_o execute_v be_v authoritative_a and_o consequent_o must_v be_v submit_v to_o to_o which_o it_o must_v be_v answer_v that_o a_o trust_n be_v inseparable_a from_o a_o office_n or_o commission_n and_o that_o no_o legal_a power_n or_o authority_n can_v be_v so_o cautious_o regulate_v but_o that_o still_o something_o that_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o that_o power_n and_o authority_n must_v be_v leave_v to_o the_o honesty_n and_o integrity_n of_o he_o that_o execute_v it_o only_o it_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o the_o english_a law_n whereby_o they_o have_v preserve_v the_o franchise_n of_o the_o land_n that_o they_o have_v leave_v very_o little_a to_o the_o discretion_n of_o those_o who_o be_v entrust_v with_o the_o execution_n of_o they_o but_o in_o all_o case_n have_v secure_v the_o main_a as_o where_o they_o have_v leave_v fine_n at_o the_o will_n of_o the_o king_n still_o it_o be_v salvo_n contenemento_fw-it but_o where_o the_o law_n have_v express_o entrust_v a_o commissioner_n with_o the_o exercise_n of_o some_o power_n while_o he_o act_v within_o the_o
