of the galaxy being elected and sworn, are to repair, by the
Monday next ensuing to the last of March, to the Pantheon or
palace of justice, situated in the metropolis of this
commonwealth (except the Parliament, by reason of a contagious
sickness, or some other occasion, has adjourned to another part
of the nation), where they are to take their places in the
Senate, and continue in full power and commission as senators for
the full term of three years next ensuing the date of their
election. The deputies of the galaxy are to repair by the same
day (except as before excepted) to the halo situated in Emporium,
where they are to be listed of the prerogative tribe, or equal
representative of the people; and to continue in full power and
commission as their deputies for the full term of three years
next ensuing their election. But, forasmuch as the term of every
magistracy or office in this commonwealth requires an equal
vacation, a knight or deputy of the galaxy, having fulfilled his
term of three years, shall not be re-elected into the same galaxy
or any other, till he has also fulfilled his three years'
vacation."

Whoever shall rightly consider the foregoing orders, will be
as little able to find how it is possible that a worshipful
knight should declare himself in ale and beef worthy to serve his
country, as how my lord high sheriff's honor, in case he were
protected from the law, could play the knave. But though the
foregoing orders, so far as they regard the constitution of the
Senate and the people, requiring no more as to an ordinary
election than is therein explained, that is but one-third part of
their knights and deputies, are perfect; yet must we in this
place, and as to the institution, of necessity erect a scaffold.
