The Remarks on every article of the association, as promis'd

the preamble, and on each of 7 articles.] . . .
Remarks on Article VII.
A militia of freemen, ought not to be subject to any
corporal penalties.
. . . [6 lines]
If the persons who compose the several companies should
think fit (so as juries sometimes do) to make a temporary
agreement, to pay little fines when they do not appear in a
good time, or the like, to be apply'd to the purchasing of
drums, colours, etc. or to be given in prizes, or to refresh
their weary spirits after exercise; they are not hereby
restrain'd from doing so, but left to their liberty.
. . . [Remarks on Article VIII follow.]
