And published in English by Robert Hill, Bachelor in Diuinitie, and Fellow of Saint Iohns Colledge in Cambridge, for the benefit of our English nation, to which is added in the end the practise of papists against Protestant princes.

What doe Officialls differ from Magistrates?

In this, that Magistrates haue iurisdiction both to know causes, and authoritie also to execute annexed: but Officials are the ma∣gistrates ministers, to whom is committed the bare execution of things determined: such amongst the Romans were called Via∣tores, in French Sergens, Sergeants, as it were seruants: but the mi∣nisters of the Commonwealth are they, who onely doe take knowledge of some things, as they who are gouernours of pub∣licke workes, as Surueyers, controllers, paymasters, ouerseers, clarkes, and such like: or who haue some office in the Common∣wealth, as Tribunes, Treasurers, Wardens. &c.
