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.

thereupon_o we_o shall_v make_v some_o few_o observation_n or_o collection_n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o the_o law_n therein_o 1._o as_o to_o these_o charter_n or_o letter_n patent_n 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

the_o survivor_n shall_v be_v incorporate_v that_o if_o the_o revenue_n increase_v they_o shall_v be_v employ_v to_o the_o public_a use_n of_o the_o corporation_n to_o be_v visit_v by_o the_o governor_n to_o make_v ordinance_n that_o the_o ordinary_n shall_v not_o visit_v it_o licence_n to_o purchase_v in_o mortmain_n and_o some_o general_a clause_n and_o prouiso_n the_o corporation_n be_v well_o make_v without_o all_o this_o 2._o there_o be_v also_o usual_o grant_v together_o with_o the_o make_n of_o these_o corporation_n and_o in_o the_o same_o divers_a franchise_n and_o other_o thing_n as_o felon_n good_n and_o of_o fugitive_n and_o person_n outlawed_a in_o civil_a action_n the_o forfeiture_n by_o penal_a statute_n recognizance_n hundred_o court_n and_o conusance_n of_o

these_o thing_n have_v no_o dependence_n or_o be_v they_o at_o all_o incident_a to_o corporation_n but_o common_o grant_v to_o they_o when_o they_o be_v erect_v 3._o there_o be_v some_o thing_n 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 observation_n upon_o they_o apart_o the_o charter_n always_o make_v magistrate_n the_o title_n of_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n by_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n it_o do_v begin_v with_o his_o name_n title_n etc._n etc._n after_o this_o manner_n oliver_n lord_n protector_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o may_v not_o be_v omit_v then_o it_o be_v usual_a if_o it_o be_v a_o corporation_n recitals_n 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 confirmation_n of_o they_o in_o the_o new_a charter_n or_o if_o they_o can_v find_v no_o record_n for_o it_o but_o de_fw-la facto_fw-la they_o have_v a_o corporation_n and_o hold_v it_o by_o

the_o best_a and_o safe_a way_n to_o do_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o authority_n by_o which_o it_o be_v erect_v after_o this_o there_o do_v usual_o follow_v the_o main_a part_n of_o the_o charter_n
