In our English law which as every body knows is the perfection
of reason, there are two or modes or forms of establishing
and granting licences. One is to say whosoever

any man follows the acting or performs the operation mentioned
he shall forfeit and pay so much: say for example he
overused 3s.6. Of these two the first may be stiled
