the_o speciality_n of_o officer_n of_o state_n be_v that_o in_o all_o act_n or_o meeting_n which_o concern_v the_o state_n they_o sit_v as_o member_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o office_n as_o in_o parliament_n convention_n etc._n etc._n where_o the_o chamberlain_n and_o admiral_n come_v not_o as_o such_o nor_o the_o constable_n and_o marishal_n if_o they_o be_v not_o earl_n the_o officer_n of_o state_n have_v oft_o contend_v for_o precedency_n among_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o king_n james_n do_v in_o privy_a council_n upon_o the_o 17._o of_o june_n 1617._o declare_v that_o in_o that_o and_o all_o other_o parliament_n none_o shall_v sit_v as_o officer_n of_o state_n save_o eight_o and_o though_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o of_o the_o say_n officer_n by_o deputation_n division_n or_o otherwise_o yet_o eight_o only_o shall_v sit_v which_o eight_z he_o do_v thus_o rank_a by_o act_n of_o council_n thesaurer_n privy-seal_n secretary_n register_n advocate_n justice_n clerk_n thesaurer-deput_a mr._n of_o request_n and_o yet_o his_o majesty_n have_v appoint_v sir_n archibald_n atchison_n to_o be_v second_o secretary_n and_o he_o have_v contend_v that_o his_o place_n be_v to_o be_v next_o the_o principal_a secretary_n this_o be_v oppose_v by_o the_o register_n and_o advocate_n sound_v themselves_o upon_o the_o say_a act_n of_o council_n it_o be_v answer_v thereto_o that_o his_o majesty_n may_v notwithstanding_o of_o the_o say_a act_n have_v as_o many_o secretary_n as_o he_o please_v and_o by_o that_o his_o majesty_n be_v only_o limit_v to_o eight_o officer_n of_o state_n in_o parliament_n but_o that_o notwithstanding_o thereof_o he_o may_v make_v use_n of_o any_o eight_o he_o please_v and_o according_o he_o have_v make_v use_n of_o the_o chancellor_n collector_n and_o comptroller_n as_o officer_n of_o state_n in_o several_a parliament_n notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v none_o of_o the_o eight_o officer_n mention_v in_o this_o act_n likeas_n k._n ja._n have_v appoint_v the_o lord_n chancellor_n be_v a_o nobleman_n to_o sit_v among_o the_o nobleman_n and_o not_o as_o chancellor_n or_o a_o officer_n of_o state_n the_o council_n do_v remit_v this_o debate_n to_o the_o king_n i_o find_v that_o upon_o the_o 20._o of_o february_n 1623._o the_o whole_a matter_n of_o precedency_n among_o his_o majesty_n officer_n and_o counsellor_n be_v thus_o state_v the_o lord_n chancellor_n the_o lord_n thesaurer_n the_o archbishop_n of_o st._n andrews_n the_o archbishop_n of_o glasgow_n the_o earl_n and_o viscount_n according_a to_o their_o rank_n

session_n according_a to_o their_o admission_n baron_n and_o gentleman_n be_v counsellor_n according_a to_o their_o admission_n it_o be_v observable_a from_o this_o act_n that_o lord_n of_o the_o session_n have_v precedency_n from_o privy_a councillor_n in_o scotland_n otherwise_o any_o counsellor_n of_o a_o elder_a admission_n will_v be_v prefer_v to_o they_o and_o yet_o in_o england_n privy_a councillor_n be_v prefer_v to_o all_o the_o judge_n and_o even_o to_o the_o chief_a justice_n and_o with_o we_o i_o find_v no_o privy_a councillor_n take_v place_n as_o such_o from_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o which_o seem_v very_o strange_a for_o since_o the_o judicatur_fw-la itself_o be_v place_v before_o the_o session_n and_o that_o its_o precedent_n have_v precedency_n from_o the_o precedent_n of_o the_o session_n that_o therefore_o its_o judge_n ought_v to_o precede_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o session_n 2_o do_v though_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n be_v lord_n of_o council_n and_o session_n yet_o there_o be_v secret_a councillor_n give_v they_o a_o great_a nearness_n and_o argue_v a_o great_a trust_n and_o in_o all_o matter_n of_o precedency_n these_o be_v the_o chief_a

to_o assault_v they_o be_v treason_n and_o be_v with_o us._n 4_o o._n in_o france_n this_o question_n betwixt_o the_o member_n magni_fw-la concilii_fw-la and_o the_o senator_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o paris_n be_v debate_v by_o boerius_n and_o he_o prefer_v the_o counselor_n and_o in_o sweden_n they_o have_v place_n from_o all_o the_o nobility_n 5_o o._n the_o lord_n of_o privy_a council_n have_v more_o supereminent_a power_n than_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n for_o they_o can_v stop_v the_o precedor_n of_o the_o justice_n they_o can_v adjourn_v the_o session_n they_o can_v grant_v precognition_n moderate_a punishment_n etc._n etc._n notwithstanding_o of_o all_o which_o such_o respect_n have_v our_o king_n to_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n who_o distribute_v justice_n equal_o to_o the_o people_n that_o they_o still_o prefer_v they_o to_o all_o the_o subject_n except_o the_o lord_n of_o parliament_n and_o their_o elder_a son_n it_o have_v be_v contend_v by_o the_o young_a son_n of_o nobleman_n that_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v precedency_n from_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n because_o say_v the_o second_o son_n of_o a_o earl_n i_o have_v precedency_n from_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o a_o lord_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v place_n from_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n and_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a rule_n in_o precedency_n that_o if_o i_o precede_v you_o i_o must_v precede_v he_o who_o precede_v you_o and_o if_o a_o earl_n second_o son_n and_o a_o lord_n elder_a son_n and_o a_o lord_n of_o session_n do_v meet_v together_o the_o earl_n second_o son_n can_v not_o precede_v the_o lord_n elder_a son_n except_o he_o precede_v also_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n to_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v answer_v save_v that_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o peer_n be_v presumptive_a peer_n and_o such_o as_o will_v be_v peer_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n who_o have_v but_o a_o temporary_a precedency_n shall_v not_o precede_v they_o but_o i_o find_v that_o though_o in_o england_n the_o young_a son_n of_o the_o precede_a rank_n take_v still_o the_o place_n from_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o the_o next_o mediate_v as_o the_o young_a son_n of_o duke_n from_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o earl_n and_o the_o young_a son_n of_o marquess_n from_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o viscount_n and_o that_o all_o the_o chain_n of_o precedency_n be_v found_v upon_o this_o gradation_n and_o that_o it_o seem_v that_o nature_n have_v lead_v man_n to_o this_o establishment_n yet_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o our_o lord_n lord_n baron_n refuse_v to_o cede_fw-la to_o the_o second_o son_n of_o earl_n and_o it_o be_v so_o of_o old_a with_o we_o and_o that_o which_o may_v be_v give_v as_o a_o reason_n for_o this_o be_v that_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a that_o they_o who_o be_v to_o be_v peer_n and_o to_o have_v a_o constant_a title_n shall_v cede_fw-la to_o such_o as_o have_v but_o a_o temporary_a honour_n but_o if_o this_o reason_n be_v sufficient_a the_o young_a son_n of_o duke_n shall_v not_o precede_v the_o elder_a son_n of_o lord_n baron_n with_o we_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o lord_n baron_n be_v design_v master_n as_o the_o master_n of_o rosse_n etc._n etc._n and_o of_o old_a the_o uncle_n of_o lord_n after_o the_o death_n of_o their_o elder_a brother_n though_o he_o leave_v a_o son_n be_v call_v master_n till_o the_o nephew_n have_v a_o son_n for_o which_o i_o know_v no_o other_o reason_n but_o that_o because_o they_o want_v a_o tittle_n they_o take_v this_o for_o their_o father_n be_v lord_n there_o be_v no_o degree_n below_o to_o take_v as_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o earl_n take_v that_o of_o lord_n and_o i_o believe_v that_o thus_o the_o word_n master_n be_v give_v in_o england_n to_o mean_a people_n when_o their_o name_n be_v not_o know_v for_o though_o the_o word_n dominus_fw-la be_v refuse_v by_o augustus_n as_o import_v slavery_n which_o the_o roman_n can_v not_o bear_v rather_o than_o from_o a_o secret_a impulse_n as_o st._n augustin_n say_v in_o respect_n our_o saviour_n be_v then_o bear_v who_o be_v the_o true_a master_n since_o sueton_n tell_v that_o tiberius_n also_o refuse_v this_o title_n yet_o in_o compliment_n even_o then_o such_o as_o be_v not_o know_v be_v call_v domini_fw-la obvios_fw-la say_v seneca_n si_fw-la nomen_fw-la non_fw-la succurrit_fw-la dominos_fw-la salutamus_fw-la and_o thereafter_o with_o the_o roman_a slavery_n this_o title_n grow_v from_o be_v a_o compliment_n to_o be_v a_o duty_n and_o thus_o the_o grecian_a emperor_n be_v call_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o the_o elder_a son_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o from_o this_o title_n of_o master_n come_v meship_n among_o we_o which_o be_v give_v to_o all_o such_o as_o have_v not_o a_o special_a title_n as_o lord_n sir_n etc._n
