magistracy is to be repeated by such new electors as shall be
chosen at the next ballot. And so, as is exemplified in the first
magistracy, proceeds the ballot of the rest; first in the first,
then in the second, and so in the third and fourth orders.

Now whereas it may happen that AA, for example, being named
strategus in the first order, may also be named to the same or
some one or more other magistracies in one or more of the other
orders; his name is first balloted where it is first written,
that is to the more worthy magistracy, whereof if he misses, he
is balloted as it comes in course for the next, and so for the
rest, if he misses of that, as often as he is named.

And because to be named twice, or oftener, whether to the
same or some other magistracy, is the stronger recommendation,
the note must not fail to be given upon the name, at the
proposition in this manner: AA named to be strategus in the
first, and in the second order, or AA named to be strategus in
the first and the third, in the first and the fourth, etc. But if
he be named to the same magistracy in the first, second, third,
and fourth orders, he can have no competitor; wherefore attaining
to above half the suffrages, he is the magistrate. Or thus: AA
named to be strategus in the first, to be censor in the second,
to be orator in the third, and to be commissioner of the seal in
the fourth order, or the like in more or fewer orders, in which
cases if he misses of the first magistracy, he is balloted to the
second; if he misses of the second, to the third; and if he
misses of the third, to the fourth.
