Idoneus, which hath three things, Honesty, Sci∣ence, and ability:
- 1. Honesty, to execute his Office truly without malice, affection, or partiality.
- 2. Science to know what he ought to do duly.
- 3. Ability as well in substance or estate, as in body to execute his Office, when need is, diligen∣ly, and not through impotency o•• indi••ence to neglect it; for if poor men which live by the labour of their hands, be ele〈…〉〈…〉 to this Office; they will rather per••••it Felons and other Malefactors to escape, and neglect the execu••ion of their Office in other points, then intermit their labour, by which their w••••e and children live.
The Office and authority of high and petty Con∣stables remaineth, nowithstanding the death of the King, for their authority is by the common Law and not by commission; so also of Mayor••, ••••••∣liffs in Towns corporate, &c.
