the_o case_n of_o the_o college_n of_o physician_n london_n the_o precedent_n of_o the_o college_n of_o physician_n london_n have_v summon_v a_o college_n about_o october_n 1685._o acquaint_v they_o that_o order_n will_v be_v give_v for_o a_o quo_fw-la warranto_fw-la against_o their_o charter_n and_o therefore_o require_v their_o opinion_n whether_o they_o shall_v defend_v it_o the_o question_n be_v put_v by_o ballot_n twenty_o three_o of_o twenty_o seven_o of_o the_o fellow_n give_v their_o vote_n for_o a_o surrender_n thereof_o after_o which_o the_o say_a surrender_n be_v subscribe_v by_o all_o the_o fellow_n except_o one_o the_o college_n not_o long_o after_o appoint_v a_o committee_n to_o act_v in_o relation_n to_o a_o new_a charter_n to_o be_v grant_v they_o which_o committee_n consist_v of_o the_o precedent_n and_o seventeen_o fellow_n who_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o privilege_n be_v necessary_a to_o be_v insert_v therein_o among_o which_o it_o be_v think_v to_o be_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o college_n that_o their_o number_n shall_v be_v increase_v to_o fourscore_o which_o be_v according_o propose_v in_o open_a college_n by_o the_o precedent_n be_v receive_v without_o contradiction_n the_o reason_n induce_v they_o to_o augment_v their_o number_n be_v 1._o the_o great_a increase_n of_o the_o city_n and_o its_o inhabitant_n since_o the_o year_n 1663._o at_o which_o time_n the_o number_n of_o fellow_n be_v by_o the_o charter_n of_o king_n charles_n ii_o augment_v from_o thirty_o to_o forty_o 2._o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o physician_n in_o town_n of_o eminent_a learning_n and_o reputation_n who_o not_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o fellow_n may_v be_v induce_v to_o promote_v a_o separate_a interest_n and_o secret_o or_o open_o to_o obstruct_v the_o college_n proceed_n it_o be_v conclude_v that_o it_o will_v extreme_o strengthen_v the_o college_n against_o all_o empiric_n and_o unlawful_a practiser_n if_o such_o eminent_a and_o able_a physician_n be_v by_o the_o opportunity_n of_o the_o new_a charter_n incorporate_v into_o the_o fellowship_n and_o thereby_o more_o encourage_v to_o promote_v the_o public_a good._n 3._o by_o the_o incorporation_n of_o these_o member_n the_o society_n have_v this_o further_a advantage_n that_o whereas_o the_o college_n be_v at_o that_o time_n unhappy_o bring_v into_o a_o great_a debt_n of_o six_o thousand_o pound_n no_o less_o than_o fifteen_o hundred_o pound_n be_v immediate_o receive_v towards_o the_o payment_n thereof_o by_o the_o ordinary_a fee_n and_o subscription_n of_o the_o new_a fellow_n and_o a_o certain_a method_n provide_v for_o the_o discharge_n of_o the_o remain_a debt_n twice_o as_o soon_o as_o otherways_o we_o can_v have_v do_v by_o the_o more_o frequent_a admission_n of_o new_a fellow_n upon_o the_o death_n or_o recess_n of_o the_o present_a member_n the_o only_a grievance_n which_o happen_v as_o we_o conceive_v by_o this_o new_a charter_n except_o that_o clause_n concern_v the_o king_n displace_v the_o member_n at_o pleasure_n be_v that_o four_o or_o five_o of_o the_o fellow_n be_v leave_v out_o not_o in_o the_o least_o by_o any_o application_n from_o the_o society_n but_o by_o the_o will_n of_o those_o who_o be_v then_o in_o power_n as_o may_v appear_v from_o the_o carriage_n of_o the_o college_n to_o they_o in_o that_o juncture_n who_o upon_o receive_v their_o new_a charter_n a_o question_n arise_v about_o those_o fellow_n declare_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v treat_v with_o the_o same_o respect_n as_o former_o and_o so_o tender_a be_v the_o committee_n of_o the_o college_n of_o they_o that_o though_o it_o be_v often_o and_o earnest_o move_v that_o a_o catalogue_n of_o the_o present_a member_n
