A70558	A brief account concerning several of the agents of New-England, their negotiation at the Court of England with some remarks on the new charter granted to the colony of Massachusets shewing that all things duely considered, greater priviledges than what are therein contained, could not at this time rationally be expected by the people there.	Mather, Increase, 1639-1723.	1691 (1691)	Wing M1184; ESTC R3613	15,615	26

charter_n signify_v to_o the_o minister_n of_o state_n that_o we_o have_v rather_o have_v no_o charter_n at_o all_o than_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v now_o propose_v to_o acceptance_n i_o know_v that_o in_o the_o multitude_n of_o councillor_n there_o be_v safety_n and_o do_v therefore_o advise_v with_o many_o and_o with_o person_n unprejudiced_a and_o of_o the_o great_a wisdom_n and_o ability_n to_o judge_v with_o nobleman_n gentleman_n divine_n and_o lawyer_n they_o all_o agree_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o all_o circumstance_n consider_v a_o duty_n to_o submit_v to_o what_o be_v now_o offer_v some_o say_v they_o be_v very_o weak_a man_n and_o unfit_a to_o appear_v as_o agent_n for_o a_o colony_n that_o shall_v make_v any_o question_n of_o it_o other_o say_v that_o a_o peremptory_a refusal_n will_v bring_v not_o only_o a_o great_a inconvenience_n but_o a_o fatal_a ruin_n on_o new-england_n and_o then_o mankind_n will_v lay_v the_o blame_n on_o the_o weakness_n and_o wilfulness_n of_o the_o agent_n who_o when_o they_o can_v not_o have_v what_o they_o will_v aught_o to_o submit_v to_o what_o they_o can_v get_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o lawyer_n be_v that_o such_o a_o passive_a submission_n be_v not_o a_o surrender_n inasmuch_o as_o nothing_o be_v do_v under_o hand_n and_o seal_n nor_o can_v there_o be_v a_o surrender_n in_o this_o case_n since_o judgement_n be_v already_o enter_v and_o record_v against_o the_o old_a charter_n nor_o be_v the_o agent_n capable_a of_o surrender_v as_o not_o be_v plenipotentiaries_n and_o that_o their_o take_n up_o with_o this_o do_v not_o make_v the_o people_n in_o that_o colony_n in_o law_n uncapable_a of_o obtain_v all_o their_o old_a privilege_n whenever_o a_o favourable_a opportunity_n shall_v present_v itself_o for_o the_o world_n know_v that_o in_o a_o present_a part_n with_o any_o of_o their_o ancient_a right_n they_o be_v force_v to_o yield_v unto_o necessity_n i_o remember_v a_o honest_a lawyer_n and_o a_o wellwisher_n to_o new-england_n tell_v i_o that_o if_o we_o be_v put_v to_o our_o choice_n whether_o to_o enjoy_v our_o old_a charter_n which_o he_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o again_o just_a as_o it_o be_v or_o to_o take_v up_o with_o this_o all_o thing_n due_o consider_v we_o be_v not_o wise_a if_o we_o do_v not_o choose_v this_o rather_o than_o that_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o a_o judgement_n right_a or_o wrong_n not_o in_o court_n of_o king's-bench_n but_o in_o chancery_n stand_v on_o record_n against_o the_o charter_n of_o the_o massachuset_n whereby_o it_o be_v vacate_v and_o annihilate_v that_o colony_n be_v fall_v into_o the_o king_n hand_n so_o that_o he_o may_v put_v they_o under_o what_o governor_n or_o what_o form_n of_o government_n he_o shall_v please_v their_o agent_n may_v beg_v for_o a_o full_a restitution_n of_o all_o ancient_a privilege_n but_o they_o may_v not_o either_o choose_v or_o refuse_v as_o to_o they_o shall_v seem_v best_a it_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v no_o probability_n of_o obtain_v a_o reversion_n of_o the_o judgement_n against_o the_o former_a charter_n we_o see_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o attempt_v to_o bring_v it_o out_o of_o chancery_n into_o the_o court_n of_o king_n bench._n there_o be_v thought_n of_o bring_v the_o matter_n into_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n by_o a_o writ_n of_o error_n in_o judgement_n but_o it_o be_v believe_v that_o no_o cursitor_n will_v now_o venture_v to_o sign_n a_o writ_n of_o error_n and_o that_o if_o he_o shall_v the_o lord_n will_v not_o be_v forward_o to_o concern_v themselves_o in_o this_o affair_n although_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canturbury_n that_o now_o be_v and_o many_o of_o the_o present_a bishop_n be_v friend_n to_o new-england_n as_o well_o as_o to_o all_o good_a man_n and_o i_o have_v cause_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o personal_a respect_n i_o have_v receive_v from_o many_o of_o they_o and_o although_o a_o great_a interest_n have_v be_v make_v for_o new-england_n among_o the_o temporal_a lord_n nevertheless_o when_o they_o shall_v understand_v that_o the_o king_n be_v desirous_a to_o have_v that_o country_n put_v under_o another_o form_n of_o government_n which_o his_o royal_a wisdom_n judge_v will_v be_v better_o for_o they_o than_o what_o they_o former_o enjoy_v the_o lord_n will_v be_v very_o slow_a in_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o they_o know_v will_v be_v dissatisfactory_a to_o his_o majesty_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v see_v cause_n to_o take_v the_o case_n of_o new-england_n into_o their_o consideration_n though_o they_o will_v not_o justify_v the_o manner_n of_o proceed_n yet_o when_o they_o shall_v hear_v all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v object_v against_o the_o governor_n and_o company_n on_o the_o account_n of_o their_o have_v exceed_v the_o power_n of_o their_o charter_n in_o several_a particular_n and_o in_o a_o very_a high_a degree_n they_o will_v certain_o judge_v that_o they_o have_v merit_v a_o condemnation_n thereof_o it_o be_v also_o consider_v that_o the_o old_a charter_n be_v in_o more_o respect_n than_o one_o very_o defective_a for_o by_o that_o the_o government_n in_o new-england_n have_v no_o more_o power_n than_o corporation_n in_o england_n have_v but_o those_o corporation_n have_v not_o power_n in_o capital_a case_n both_o the_o judge_n and_o eminent_a lawyer_n have_v assure_v i_o that_o though_o power_n be_v give_v to_o corporation_n in_o criminal_a except_o capital_a case_n be_v particular_o express_v their_o power_n do_v not_o reach_v so_o far_o nor_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o old_a charter_n concern_v a_o house_n of_o deputy_n or_o assembly_n of_o representative_n nor_o have_v the_o governor_n and_o company_n power_n to_o impose_v tax_n on_o the_o inhabitant_n nor_o to_o erect_a court_n of_o admiralty_n etc._n etc._n the_o king_n attorney-general_n who_o be_v no_o enemy_n to_o new-england_n declare_v the_o two_o chief_a justice_n and_o sollicitor-general_n concur_v with_o he_o that_o suppose_v the_o judgement_n against_o the_o charter_n of_o the_o massachuset_n to_o be_v reverse_v if_o the_o government_n shall_v exert_v such_o power_n as_o before_o the_o quo_fw-la warranto_fw-la against_o their_o charter_n they_o have_v do_v there_o will_v now_o be_v a_o writ_n of_o scire_fw-la facias_fw-la issue_v out_o against_o they_o in_o westminster-hall_n and_o their_o charter-priviledge_n will_v undoubted_o be_v take_v from_o they_o and_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o if_o the_o judgement_n against_o the_o old_a charter_n have_v be_v reverse_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n the_o massachusets_n colony_n will_v for_o all_o that_o have_v be_v in_o a_o far_o more_o miserable_a condition_n than_o by_o the_o

government_n perpetual_a conplaint_n will_v have_v be_v make_v against_o they_o it_o be_v moreover_o consider_v that_o if_o the_o agent_n of_o that_o colony_n have_v signify_v to_o the_o minister_n of_o state_n that_o they_o have_v rather_o have_v no_o charter_n at_o all_o than_o this_o which_o the_o king_n be_v please_v to_o grant_v to_o they_o the_o consequence_n will_v have_v be_v that_o
