Apollo being sensible of the sad influ∣ences which the luxouriant Flamens brought upon his Interest, with advice of his grand Counsell, found it expedient to restrayne their exorbitant humours, and Established this ensuing Act, which is here set down in the same Language that all the Authentick Charters of that antient Kingdom are writ in.
Quandoquidem antiqui hujus Reg∣ni in Utopia Nova qui debebant esse
à sacris, tot tantasque, domi forisque, in Ecclesia & Statu, procellas pro suo quisque genio, suscitarint, susque de∣que cuncta movendo. Hinc Statu∣tum sit, quod si quis eorum inposterum civilibus sese miscuerit, praeter Sy∣nagogae jacturam quam proculdubio faciet, Lanifilio c damnabitur in domo illi usui destinata, ibique se∣cundum delicta Virgis caesus, paenas dabit.
This Act was no sooner known to these Fa∣natick Flamens but they hasted to their relati∣ons, which for most part are the best bred plow men of the land, Indeed this was no small mortification to them, as being a means to stop that retreat wherein they thrust their stripling Children, that could neither whistle nor dryve: for true Learning was so little regarded in the Flamenian trade, that none but Prodigious Dolts en∣terprised it, the most part of their Jar∣gon
being an ill Natured grumbleing in Publick against the actions of these whom they flattered in privat.
The Grand Counsell hath made many other admirable Acts for Asserting the In∣terest of Appollo, and the Marches twixt his Sacred Majesty and his people will be ren∣dred so conspicuous, that there can hardly ever any mistaks fall out for the future.
