the_o rest_n of_o his_o majesty_n subject_n will_v be_v deter_v from_o the_o like_a disobedience_n there_o be_v some_o other_o superfluous_a objection_n make_v against_o the_o clause_n in_o the_o

the_o east-india_n company_n exclusive_a of_o all_o other_o be_v a_o good_a grant_n in_o law_n or_o not_o and_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n it_o be_v and_o by_o the_o way_n i_o can_v but_o make_v the_o same_o remark_n in_o this_o case_n as_o my_o lord_n chief_a baron_n fleming_n make_v in_o the_o great_a case_n of_o bates_n in_o the_o exchequer_n lane_n fol._n 27._o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a

advantage_n but_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n i_o shall_v therefore_o endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o be_v invest_v with_o this_o prerogative_n by_o the_o law_n of_o this_o nation_n but_o by_o the_o law_n i_o do_v not_o only_o mean_v the_o customary_a common_a law_n or_o statute_n of_o this_o realm_n which_o be_v native_a and_o peculiar_a to_o this_o nation_n which_o as_o mr._n attorney_n well_o observe_v be_v not_o adapt_v to_o this_o purpose_n but_o such_o other_o law_n also_o as_o be_v common_a to_o other_o nation_n as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o have_v

other_o nation_n monopoly_n be_v prohibit_v yet_o society_n to_o trade_n such_o as_o the_o plaintiff_n to_o certain_a place_n exclusive_a of_o other_o be_v no_o monopoly_n by_o the_o law_n of_o this_o

the_o authority_n that_o be_v extant_a in_o our_o book_n together_o with_o such_o precedent_n reason_n both_o public_a and_o politic_a for_o as_o my_o lord_n fleming_n say_v that_o such_o reason_n be_v good_a direction_n for_o our_o judgement_n in_o such_o case_n as_o these_o be_v demonstration_n of_o the_o course_n of_o antiquity_n and_o therein_o also_o observe_v the_o necessity_n and_o

have_v be_v make_v against_o my_o conclusion_n 1._o first_o then_o to_o consider_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o inland_a and_o the_o foreign_a trade_n allow_v of_o in_o our_o book_n and_o that_o the_o king_n prerogative_n do_v affect_v both_o as_o to_o manufacture_n under_o which_o all_o sort_n of_o artificer_n be_v concern_v i_o think_v they_o remain_v with_o the_o most_o liberty_n by_o the_o common_a law_n and_o as_o mr._n attorney_n observe_v the_o publick-weal_n be_v little_o concern_v therein_o only_o to_o preserve_v every_o one_o in_o the_o quiet_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o own_o labour_n and_o industry_n yet_o even_o in_o that_o the_o king_n prerogative_n have_v not_o be_v total_o exclude_v for_o as_o it_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o in_o our_o book_n that_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v this_o day_n enjoy_v by_o custom_n or_o prescription_n have_v their_o commencement_n by_o royal_a grant_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v no_o artificer_n within_o the_o city_n of_o london_n can_v at_o this_o day_n use_v two_o trade_n i._n e_o a_o carpenter_n can_v use_v the_o trade_n of_o a_o joiner_n or_o a_o bricklayer_n of_o a_o plasterer_n 2._o as_o to_o the_o trade_n of_o merchandise_n or_o inland_a commerce_n general_o speak_v it_o have_v the_o next_o freedom_n by_o the_o common_a law_n but_o be_v subject_a nevertheless_o to_o be_v limit_v or_o restrain_v by_o the_o king_n prerogative_n in_o several_a particular_n as_o for_o instance_n to_o prevent_v all_o forestalling_a and_o engross_a so_o mr._n attorney_n do_v well_o observe_v that_o number_n of_o people_n can_v not_o meet_v to_o traffic_v or_o merchandise_n without_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o be_v punish_v as_o unlawful_a assembly_n the_o crown_n therefore_o grant_v the_o liberty_n of_o fair_n and_o market_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o commerce_n and_o trade_n all_o which_o do_v original_o proceed_v from_o the_o crown_n and_o therefore_o by_o abuse_v those_o liberty_n may_v still_o be_v forfeit_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o pass_v by_o all_o other_o instance_n i_o shall_v only_o instance_n one_o take_v notice_n of_o in_o our_o book_n which_o well_o consider_v may_v go_v a_o great_a way_n in_o the_o case_n at_o the_o bar_n register_n fol._n 107._o the_o king_n grant_v to_o the_o abbot_n of_o westminster_n and_o his_o successor_n that_o they_o shall_v hold_v a_o fair_a at_o westminster_n

from_o the_o crown_n and_o as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o the_o case_n of_o fai●s_n so_o i_o may_v now_o say_v in_o the_o case_n of_o corporation_n that_o though_o they_o claim_v liberty_n and_o
