the_o earl_n of_o lindsey_n his_o title_n by_o which_o himself_o and_o his_o participant_n do_v claim_v 24000_o acre_n of_o land_n in_o the_o fen_n in_o lincoln_n shire_n first_o we_o claim_v by_o the_o law_n virtue_n and_o authority_n of_o several_a decree_n of_o sewer_n second_o we_o claim_v the_o same_o equity_n that_o former_a parliament_n have_v afford_v to_o such_o undertaking_n we_o have_v in_o this_o expend_v near_o 80000_o l._n to_o the_o very_a great_a benefit_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n which_o we_o hope_v may_v merit_v the_o same_o confirmation_n this_o parliament_n have_v afford_v to_o the_o earl_n of_o bedford_n 127._o that_o commission_n of_o sewer_n be_v ancient_o part_v of_o the_o commission_n of_o oyer_n and_o terminer_n that_o they_o be_v issuable_a at_o the_o king_n pleasure_n and_o that_o the_o king_n as_o he_o who_o have_v the_o supreme_a care_n of_o thing_n of_o public_a concernment_n be_v bind_v to_o grant_v such_o commission_n upon_o all_o emergence_n 8.5_o that_o this_o be_v the_o constant_a opinion_n we_o find_v in_o our_o ancient_a book_n of_o common_a law_n that_o it_o be_v constant_a practice_n we_o find_v many_o such_o commission_n issue_v two_o especial_o long_o before_o any_o statute_n now_o know_v in_o england_n be_v make_v they_o be_v both_o send_v into_o lincoln_n shire_n and_o the_o first_o into_o the_o very_a part_n where_o the_o earl_n make_v his_o work_n and_o at_o that_o time_n to_o have_v do_v this_o very_a work_n that_o the_o earl_n have_v now_o do_v but_o because_o those_o commissioner_n be_v temporary_a to_o person_n sometime_o stranger_n in_o the_o place_n and_o ordinary_o in_o redress_n of_o mischief_n already_o happen_v by_o some_o former_a inundation_n some_o statute_n have_v from_o time_n to_o time_n enlarge_v the_o power_n of_o commission_n to_o act_v as_o well_o in_o prevention_n as_o redress_v and_o appoint_v those_o commission_n to_o gentleman_n live_v on_o or_o near_o the_o place_n who_o by_o their_o timely_a notice_n may_v prevent_v and_o their_o authority_n be_v make_v constant_a for_o certain_a number_n of_o year_n the_o first_o statute_n to_o this_o purpose_n we_o find_v in_o henry_n the_o three_o his_o time_n which_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o any_o statute_n now_o know_v in_o england_n very_o many_o subsequent_a statute_n have_v enlarge_v their_o power_n in_o such_o particular_n as_o in_o experience_n they_o find_v necessary_a viz_o to_o enable_v they_o to_o tax_v all_o land_n which_o may_v receive_v benefit_n or_o avoid_v loss_n to_o make_v new_a drain_n if_o they_o upon_o their_o view_n and_o observation_n find_v the_o ancient_a one_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o distrain_v and_o sell_v for_o not_o payment_n of_o those_o tax_n or_o in_o their_o discretion_n to_o charge_v such_o land_n perpetual_o or_o to_o sell_v they_o for_o year_n or_o life_n in_o tail_n or_o in_o fee_n and_o because_o the_o commissioner_n be_v gentleman_n of_o the_o country_n not_o ever_o so_o intelligent_a in_o every_o scruple_n of_o law_n it_o be_v by_o late_a statute_n provide_v that_o their_o decree_n shall_v not_o be_v examinable_a but_o in_o parliament_n as_o divers_a heretofore_o have_v be_v but_o those_o parliament_n never_o avoid_v they_o if_o they_o find_v the_o course_n take_v by_o their_o commissioner_n may_v probable_o do_v the_o work_n though_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o real_o do_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a rather_o than_o lose_v the_o benefit_n that_o may_v thereby_o accrue_v to_o the_o state_n although_o those_o commissioner_n may_v in_o some_o
