And it may likewise hap∣pen, that where the Commission is to act in general, he that is so commissionated, may oblige us, by acting contrary to his private Instructions: For here are two di∣stinct Acts of the Will, the one whereby we oblige our selves to confirm and ratifie whatsoever our Agent shall do in such a business;* 1.1 the other, whereby we oblige our said Agent, that he shall not act beyond our secret Instructions: This we ob∣serve, in relation to those things which Ambassadours do Promise for their Masters, by vertue of their Instructions or Letters of Credence, but exceeding their secret Com∣mands.
Notes
* 1.1
Of Ambassa∣dours exceed∣ing their pri∣vate Com∣mands.
