never_o 500_o year_n which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a time_n for_o our_o purpose_n without_o search_v far_o into_o antiquity_n i_o shall_v tell_v you_o then_o that_o the_o parliamentaire_n representative_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v chief_o the_o baron_n of_o england_n and_o knight_n of_o the_o several_a shire_n &_o county_n therein_o these_o two_o remain_v with_o little_a or_o no_o alteration_n from_o that_o time_n to_o this_o and_o to_o show_v how_o far_o the_o say_a knight_n may_v be_v take_v at_o this_o day_n for_o the_o representative_n of_o the_o common_a of_o england_n i_o must_v also_o inform_v you_o that_o every_o knicht_n of_o the_o sheir_v be_v choose_v by_o the_o major_a part_n of_o all_o such_o commoner_n who_o wish_v in_o the_o say_a shire_n or_o county_n have_v the_o value_n of_o 40_o sh_n per_fw-la ann_n freehold_n in_o the_o say_a shire_n or_o county_n which_o privilege_n comprehend_v so_o great_a a_o number_n of_o householder_n that_o there_o be_v few_o man_n exclude_v beside_o servant_n and_o some_o farmer_n who_o be_v often_o time_n stranger_n come_v in_o unto_o we_o and_o the_o election_n of_o these_o knight_n of_o the_o shire_n &_o county_n remain_v as_o it_o ancient_o be_v without_o any_o alteration_n illegal_a chartres_n or_o any_o false_a return_n or_o corrupt_a mean_n other_o then_o what_o may_v have_v be_v use_v ever_o sense_n their_o first_o institution_n and_o may_v continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o parl_n and_o time_n illegal_a chartres_n than_o have_v no_o relation_n to_o knight_n of_o the_o shire_n because_o there_o neither_o be_v nor_o never_o be_v any_o charter_n in_o the_o case_n and_o if_o any_o false_a return_n have_v be_v make_v or_o corrupt_a mean_n use_v the_o parliament_n itself_o when_o full_o assemble_v be_v judge_n of_o the_o right_n att_o this_o day_n as_o former_o at_o any_o time_n it_o have_v be_v thus_o we_o see_v how_o far_o knight_n of_o the_o shire_n may_v be_v representative_n of_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n and_o where_o the_o abuse_n or_o corrupt_a mean_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v and_o rectify_v the_o accusation_n then_o of_o illegal_a chartres_n be_v applicable_a to_o corporation_n only_o which_o from_o the_o king_n charter_n or_o grant_n have_v receive_v the_o privilege_n of_o send_v burgess_n or_o parl._n man_n to_o parliament_n to_o explain_v this_o i_o do_v again_o affirm_v and_o i_o challenge_v all_o the_o complotter_n of_o this_o rebellious_a declaration_n to_o show_v the_o contrary_a that_o this_o privilege_n of_o corporation_n begin_v not_o until_o the_o time_n of_o king_n john_n who_o reign_v about_o the_o year_n of_o our_o lord_n 1199._o which_o be_v never_o 140._o year_n after_o william_n the_o conqueror_n and_o who_o be_v the_o founder_n of_o many_o and_o call_v the_o patron_n of_o all_o corporation_n the_o occasion_n in_o short_a be_v this_o king_n john_n to_o balance_n the_o power_n of_o his_o rebellious_a baron_n erect_v several_a corporation_n and_o out_o of_o his_o mere_a favour_n and_o benevolence_n grant_v chartres_n to_o they_o upon_o several_a conditon_n and_o limitation_n by_o which_o they_o have_v the_o privilege_n of_o choose_v and_o send_v burgess_n to_o parl._n from_o hence_o we_o must_v observe_v these_o thing_n 1_o that_o this_o privilege_n of_o corporation_n be_v no_o ancient_a than_o the_o time_n of_o king_n john_n and_o by_o consequence_n not_o a_o fundamental_a part_n of_o the_o english_a monarchy_n which_o be_v antecedent_n so_o it_o and_o the_o creator_n of_o it_o 2._o this_o privilege_n ever_o proceed_v from_o the_o mere_a grace_n and_o benevolence_n of_o our_o monarch_n and_o last_o that_o it_o be_v grant_v upon_o several_a condition_n which_o when_o break_v their_o charter_n be_v forfeit_v in_o law_n and_o their_o privilege_n cease_v and_o according_o during_o this_o interval_n of_o time_n the_o charter_n of_o several_a corporation_n even_o that_o of_o london_n itself_o be_v forfeit_v suspend_v and_o some_o time_n take_v away_o this_o then_o be_v the_o true_a case_n of_o chartres_n and_o corporation_n we_o must_v next_o observe_v that_o king_n charles_n 2d_o find_v several_a corporation_n have_v notorious_o break_v or_o not_o perform_v those_o condition_n by_o which_o they_o hold_v their_o charter_n he_o cite_v they_o in_o a_o legal_a way_n by_o quo_fw-la warranto_n to_o try_v thire_n case_n at_o law_n whereafter_o a_o full_a hear_n even_o to_o the_o content_a of_o the_o party_n concern_v with_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a council_n that_o england_n afford_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o charter_n of_o london_n the_o verdict_n have_v be_v give_v for_o the_o king_n and_o many_o other_o corporation_n sensible_a of_o there_o guilt_n or_o desirous_a to_o have_v the_o condition_n of_o their_o charter_n alter_v have_v surrender_v there_o old_a charter_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o late_a king_n his_o say_a majesty_n out_o of_o his_o mere_a grace_n and_o favour_n do_v either_o confirm_v the_o old_a chartres_n or_o grant_v new_a one_o with_o such_o condition_n and_o limitation_n as_o in_o his_o princely_a wisdom_n he_o think_v most_o fit_a according_a to_o the_o undoubted_a right_n of_o king_n john_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o royal_a progenitor_n now_o by_o virtue_n of_o these_o charter_n and_o according_a to_o the_o power_n and_o privilege_n therein_o express_v those_o corporation_n have_v choose_v and_o send_v their_o represeutative_n or_o burgheffe_n to_o his_o present_a parl._n and_o this_o be_v the_o exact_a state_n of_o the_o case_n i_o appeal_v to_o all_o man_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n whether_o these_o charter_n can_v be_v call_v illegal_a or_o their_o burgess_n be_v due_o choose_v according_a to_o they_o a_o company_n of_o man_n pack_v together_o by_o corrupt_a and_o fraudulent_a mean_n and_o this_o confirm_v what_o i_o att_z first_fw-mi afraid_fw-mi that_o this_o present_a parl._n be_v the_o true_a legal_a and_o only_a representative_a of_o all_o the_o true_a subject_n of_o england_n the_o whole_a nation_n have_v by_o they_o detest_v and_o abhor_v this_o traitorous_a declaration_n and_o all_o the_o rebel_n concern_v in_o it_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o head_n which_o contain_v the_o false_a impudent_a and_o particular_a reflection_n of_o the_o late_a duke_n of_o moumouth_n against_o his_o majesty_n sacred_a person_n in_o which_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a like_o a_o base_a villain_n to_o call_v he_o murderer_n assassim_n traitor_n and_o suchlike_a and_o instance_v the_o murder_n of_o sir_n edmund_n bury_n godfrey_n the_o death_n of_o the_o late_a earl_n of_o essex_n and_o that_o even_o of_o the_o
