rest successively shall
name to the rest of the offices till two competitors be chosen to every
office; the like shall be repeated till three competitors be chosen to
every office. And when three competitors are chosen to every office, the
list shall be returned to the overseers, or such as the overseers, in
case they or either of them happened to be electors, have substituted
in his or their place or places; and the overseers or substitutes
having caused the list to be read to the congregation, shall put
the competitors, in order as they are written, to the ballot of the
congregation; and the rest of the proceedings being carried on in
the manner directed in the fifth order, that competitor, of the three
written to each office, who has most of the suffrages above half in the
affirmative, is the officer. The list being after this manner completed,
shall be entered into a register, to be kept at the rendezvous of the
hundred, under inspection of the magistrates of the same, after the
manner following:

answer it to the phylarch, who has power, in case of failure in the
whole or any part, to fine all or any of them so failing at discretion,
