It is said amongst the Lawyers / and in deed reason / which is the law of all nations / confirmeth it. Quod omnium interest, ab omnibus approbari debet. That which standeth all men upon / should be approved of all men. Which law hath this sense / that if it may be / it were good that those things which shall bind all men / and which require the obedience of all / should be concluded as far as may be / by the consent of all / or at least by the consent of as many as may be gotten. And therefore it draweth much the obedience of the subjects of this realm / that the statutes whereby the realm is governed / pass by the consent of the most part of it / whilst they be made by them / whom the rest put in trust / and choose for that purpose / being as it were all their acts.
