A78571	Chaos: or, A discourse wherein is presented to the view of the magistrate, and all others who shall peruse the same, a frame of government by way of a republique, wherein is little or no danger of miscarriage, if prudently attempted, and thoroughly prosecuted by authority. Wherein is no difficulty in the practice, nor obscurity in the method; but all things plain and easie to the meanest capacity. Here's no hard or strange names, nor unknown titles (to amaze the hearers) used, and yet here's a full and absolute power derivative insensibly from the whole, and yet practically conveyed to the best men: wherein if any shall endeavour a breach, he shall break himself: and it must be so, that cats shall provide supper, here they shall do it suitable to the best palats, and easie to digest. By a well-willer to the publique weale.	Well-willer to the publique weale.	1659 (1659)	Wing C1938; Thomason E989_27; ESTC R208259	43,827	64

that as his ante was the fore-runner of better composures where was mare coelum terras so this present time elapsing this Generation may hope to see mare terras in their proper places and coelum supervolutans illuminans recreans For never had Nation a Magistracy better schooled and discipled nor did ever Magistrate govern a people so generally capable of the best Rule of Government as this is But if with Miles the Frier's man in the Fable we flout and abuse this coy Mistress TIME and improve not the advantage and opportunity thereof she will be gone and then repentance may come too late Now that Chaos-like out of which Order was produced matter be administred for the framing of such a structure of Laws and Regiment or at least some Instruments brought to search for some Foundation or to discover some Quarries or other materials fit for so great a Fabrick which is not to be expected to be done all at once and all in one day by any one private hand nor yet from all the heads of our Governours at present whose cares for speedy remedy to prevent imminent dangers takes away much of their time from these other contrivances And though no one piece of what shall here be offered shall be found fit stuff to build withal yet may other more dextrous Artists be hereby invited to furnish the proper materials for the very work it self Chaos never travelled or if she did it was when she was in the womb of Nothing So she brings no customes from other Countries nor Laws from other Lands onely as the birth is produced in its proper dimensions not respecting any other feature or proportion in the whole frame of Nature who lest any part or member thereof should steal anothers right hath framed all creatures Animate and Inanimate if such a conjecture may be imagined in a convenient disparity each to other yet so as there is still an harmonious parity in the whole So Chaos neither doats upon her neighbour-customs more then is convenable nor is she affected with strange novelties fetcht from far Countries so ardently as to surfeit thereon she is neither bewitched with the beauty and riches of the Grand Seignior's Seraglio neither is she enamoured with the Cantonian formalities All the Mitres in the Conclave of Rome cannot invite her to fetch her Laws from Italy nor all the Decencie and Liberty of Amsterdam furnish her with more then some miss-shapen pieces which she purposes to polish for her own purpose She purposes not to pry too deep into the Spaniards Sun-burnt Inquisition nor yet to roave too far in the frigid Zone of the Tartarian Territories but out of her own store Chaos-like is her furniture only the deck and dress may seem to be sometimes borrowed from one sometimes from another Yet unless she be new built so as to suit with the temper of her own climate she will be unserviceable and her fruit abortive Chaos considering that in six days a Creation of excellent beauty and proportion suiting to the magnitude thereof in number weight and measure was by an all-powerful hand produced has propounded to her self six days work for perfecting of her intended Creation Creation she calls it because she finding all the Rafters of her old Building rotten and the Mortices and Tenons full of rubbish all the Pins either broken or pull'd from their places all the Beams battered and bruised and indeed the whole Fabrick ready to fall about her ears As Light was the first thing in the Creation and so properly called the work of the first day so for her first days work she propounds for the Balancing of Interests and reducing each piece to its proper place the praecognita being first allowed of viz. a time prefixed as already in great wisdom the present Rulers have done for the Parliaments sitting within which time if they be idle their work will be left undone and what will be their Reward if so So as if any one piece seem to be wrested out of its place the weight and frame of the whole prevents it It is proponed that one Common Interest be erected whereof each member shall share as well in receiving protection from as giving contribution to and to be so incorporated as no variant opinion either in Religion or Policie shall be able to weaken the whole but if any shall endeavour it it shall by weakning and destroying it self add still to the whole And as a light to the ensuing Intendment Chaos propounds That in this Island of Great Britain heretofore consisting of many but of late days of three distinct Principalities heretofore divided into many but now either all speaking or all understanding one and the same language and also incorporated into one Commonwealth be one Law and one Registery dispersed into severall parts thereof and so disposed as each part shall be subservient to other and each communicative to other and all to the whole not purposing to deprive the Head of his due respect neither the Body or any member thereof of their proper dues according to each ones particular propriety and proportion without destruction or diminution of any Right Franchise or Priviledge due to any Lord of Mannor or other Proprietor whatsoever or detraction from the just freedom of any English-men wherein is proposed to the Magistrate Honour and respect to the Lawyer Profit to the People enjoyment of Magna Charta and to the Republick the enjoyment of all The distribution whereof Chaos propounds to be National Provincial Sub-Provincial and Parochial each Registry to have his Court and Officers To which Courts and Registeries all matters of Civil concernment shall be reduced and this to be erected within eight months so that the present Magistracie may have the honour to lay the foundation thereof and to reap the benefit also when others shall come in their places to ease their shoulders of the burthen of Government which none or few in the Nation are or can be enabled to go thorow so dexterously as they now are who are at present entrusted therewith In the intervall of which time Chaos propounds as that light may appear to be the fruit of this first days work that all Suits in Law or Equity may be determined within six Months and to that end that sufficient time be alotted to the Judges Itinerant in the several Circuits for hearing and determining of all matters which shall be brought before them and that within one month after the Circuit another Term be kept in Westminster where all further Issues may be joyned and another Circuit a month after that for finishing the whole business as to matter of Law And for all Actions depending in Equity let Judges in Chancery sit de die in diem and cause speedy examinations of all things needfull to be made and bring all to hearing in Michaelmas Term next or shortly after upon pain of great Fines to be imposed upon the Judg or Judges who shall

transmitted to the next superior Judicature but if it shall not be of greater value in the estimation of the Court then the Court hath power to judge of judgement shall be therein given and execution done thereupon as in other cases 16. In all cases where Murther Murther Manslaughter and Rape Man-slaughter or Rape shall be committed the offenders shall be examined before the Parochial Magistrate where the parties shall be apprehended or the fault committed so many as shall be found guilty shall be sent by the Constable to the Sheriffs Deputy and by him to the Provincial Goal there to be kept in work as shall be directed till their legal delivery thence in none of these cases Bail shall be admitted but to be tryed by Juries as hath been accustomed and to suffer death if found guilty without benefit of pardon or Reprieve 17. In all manner of ●heft Robbery Theft Robbery Cousenage and Fraud Cousenage and Fraud the Offenders shall be examined before the Parochial Magistrates and if found guilty threefold restitution shall be made to be disposed one part to satisfie the party wronged one part to the common stock of the Town and one other part to the Constable for reparation of High-ways which if the party refuse and no distress shall be found to satisfie the Law the body of the offender shall be committed to the custody of the Master of the Work-house or else sent to the place from whence they came if aliens with Certificate of their offence and there to be imployed and to have two parts only of their gets allowed for their maintenance and a third to be to the use of the common stock The detainer or sending away to be at the election of the Parochial Magistracy where such offender or offenders shall be apprehended and tryed as aforesaid 18. Defamation All false accusations on purpose to defame any person shall be heavily punished by the immediate Magistracy where the offence shall be committed and in this case no Appeal to lie or be admitted and where the offence shall deserve greater punishment then the Parochial Magistrate may inflict who may not exceed 10 li. in any case the same shall be certified to the Sub-provincial Magistrate and if it require thence to the Provincial but not further All ambiguous cases shall be transmitted with the evidences to the next superior Magistracy and so on to the Parliament if no inferiour Court shall be free to give judgement therein 19. Fighting quarrelling and breaking the Peace All fighting quarrelling and breaking of the Peace shall be examined and punished by the Parochial Magistracy where the same shall be committed and satisfaction made to the party wronged without delay whereto the offenders shall be compelled according to the order of the Court and for all bruisings and beatings satisfaction shall be made as the Laws in being direct If any Master or Mistress shall immoderately correct any child or servant Masters and servants the Court Parochial shall punish the offender 20. If any child or servant shall refuse to do their duties or shall strike or quarrel with their Parents Masters or Mistresses the Court shall heavily punish such offences and if any Apprentices shall so do they shall serve a double term and any other servant a double year for the same wages No son or daughter vilifying or slighting their Parents or either of them shall be capable of inheriting any thing from either father or mother after their respective deaths 21.
