B U T forasmuch as the present Condition of the Province requires some
immediate Settlement, and admits not of so quick a Revolution of
Officers; and to the End the said Province may, with all convenient
Speed, be well ordered and settled, I _William Penn_ do therefore think
fit to nominate and appoint such Persons for Judges, Treasurers, Masters
of the Rolls, Sheriffs, Justices of the Peace, and Coroners, as are most
fitly qualified for those Employments; to whom I shall make and grant
Commissions for the said Officers, respectively, to hold to them to whom
the same shall be granted, for so long Time as every such Person shall
well behave himself in the Office or Place to him respectively granted,
and no longer. And upon the Decease or Displacing of any of the said
Officers, the succeeding Officer or Officers shall be chosen as
aforesaid.
