for_o corporation_n in_o the_o general_n these_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v know_v 1._o that_o in_o these_o charter_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n necessary_a in_o law_n and_o that_o may_v not_o be_v

often_o insert_v in_o these_o charter_n that_o be_v unlawful_a as_o to_o make_v ordinance_n to_o imprison_v man_n or_o to_o forfeit_v good_n upon_o disobedience_n or_o to_o restrain_v the_o liberty_n of_o trade_n and_o such_o clause_n as_o restrain_v the_o corporation_n from_o have_v of_o that_o which_o be_v incident_a to_o it_o and_o the_o like_a our_o observation_n upon_o these_o charter_n in_o the_o general_a be_v such_o as_o these_o 1._o that_o all_o these_o charter_n have_v the_o most_o favourable_a interpretation_n in_o law_n that_o can_v be_v and_o they_o shall_v be_v take_v strong_o against_o the_o lo._n pr._n and_o to_o advance_v the_o work_n intend_v by_o it_o 2._o that_o the_o draught_n now_o general_o use_v in_o the_o make_n of_o these_o charter_n be_v the_o best_a and_o safe_a notwithstanding_o there_o be_v in_o it_o much_o more_o than_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o erect_n of_o the_o corporation_n and_o therefore_o we_o advise_v all_o man_n that_o be_v to_o sue_v out_o letter_n patent_n herein_o to_o follow_v that_o precedent_n we_o will_v now_o look_v over_o the_o several_a part_n head_n and_o clause_n of_o the_o charter_n and_o make_v

recitals_n before_o and_o not_o new_o create_v and_o they_o can_v find_v any_o record_n of_o letter_n patent_n for_o it_o they_o always_o use_v to_o recite_v these_o letter_n patent_n and_o make_v a_o
