enter_v among_o the_o by-law_n oath_n and_o order_n of_o the_o same_o whereunto_o we_o have_v give_v a_o answer_n to_o this_o effect_n that_o the_o master_n warden_n and_o assistant_n of_o every_o company_n have_v power_n to_o repeal_v set_v aside_o ot_fw-mi suspend_v the_o execution_n and_o use_v of_o their_o by-law_n oath_n and_o order_n as_o often_o as_o they_o shall_v think_v convenient_a at_o their_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n that_o the_o first_o of_o october_n 1680._o the_o then_o master_n and_o warden_n and_o assistant_n of_o merchant-taylor_n company_n do_v by_o their_o order_n set_v aside_o the_o imposition_n of_o the_o oath_n before_o that_o time_n usual_o administer_v to_o such_o as_o be_v admit_v livery-man_n of_o that_o company_n upon_o their_o admission_n and_o that_o the_o several_a person_n last_o name_v be_v admit_v of_o the_o livery_n of_o the_o say_a company_n since_o the_o make_n of_o the_o say_a order_n last_o mention_v all_o which_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o prove_v they_o far_o make_v this_o objection_n that_o several_a person_n of_o the_o company_n of_o glover_n have_v poll_v and_o do_v not_o take_v the_o livery_n man_n oath_n enter_v in_o their_o book_n upon_o their_o admission_n and_o therefore_o have_v no_o legal_a vote_n whereunto_o we_o have_v give_v this_o answer_n that_o this_o oath_n be_v sometime_o impose_v and_o sometime_o omit_v according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o master_n warden_n and_o assistant_n this_o ●or_a the_o like_a oath_n be_v no_o way_n essential_a for_o make_v a_o livery-man_n in_o any_o company_n in_o london_n and_o if_o the_o master_n warden_n and_o assistant_n have_v omit_v to_o administer_v the_o usual_a oath_n the_o livery-man_n be_v not_o to_o lose_v their_o privilege_n or_o franchise_n for_o the_o omission_n of_o other_o and_o therefore_o these_o livery-man_n have_v legal_a vote_n and_o moreover_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o prove_v that_o all_o the_o say_a person_n but_o twelve_o have_v take_v the_o say_a oath_n they_o furthermore_o have_v make_v this_o objection_n that_o several_a person_n of_o the_o company_n of_o upholder_n who_o have_v poll_v be_v of_o other_o company_n and_o be_v not_o fair_o translate_v according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o city_n from_o be_v member_n of_o such_o company_n at_o the_o time_n of_o their_o respective_a admission_n into_o the_o upholder_n company_n and_o therefore_o be_v uncapable_a of_o be_v livery-man_n of_o the_o same_o whereunto_o we_o have_v give_v this_o answer_n that_o any_o citizen_n be_v capable_a to_o be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n a_o member_n and_o of_o the_o livery_n of_o several_a company_n and_o that_o the_o use_v of_o translation_n from_o one_o company_n to_o another_o be_v for_o the_o ease_n of_o such_o citizen_n he_o be_v not_o liable_a if_o once_o translate_v according_a to_o the_o custom_n to_o be_v put_v in_o any_o chargeable_a office_n by_o that_o company_n from_o whence_o he_o be_v so_o translate_v and_o the_o want_n of_o such_o translation_n shall_v not_o take_v away_o his_o right_n of_o poll_n once_o if_o he_o be_v of_o twenty_o company_n and_o therefore_o these_o person_n have_v legal_a vote_n they_o farther_z object_n that_o many_o quaker_n who_o be_v freeman_n of_o this_o city_n and_o of_o the_o livery_n have_v not_o legal_a vote_n which_o assertion_n as_o we_o apprehend_v be_v very_o strange_a see_v they_o have_v not_o hitherto_o be_v disable_v by_o any_o law_n whatsoever_o which_o answer_v of_o we_o we_o doubt_v not_o will_v as_o well_o satisfy_v all_o indifferent_a and_o unconcerned_a person_n as_o ourselves_o that_o the_o objection_n abovementioned_a be_v of_o no_o weight_n or_o moment_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v far_o certify_v not_o have_v any_o far_a
