None of the component members of that magistracy could go out pri- vately; but only when in some determined function was it permitted to the whole body of the magistracy to go out of their palace with solemn pomp. This magistracy resided with its chancellor, night and day, in the palace, to the end that all pub- lic business might be despatched \^dth the greater vigilance, for the good government of the city ; and they drew from the commons a sufficient appointment, both for the maintenance of ...their tables, and of six and twenty persons destined to their ser- vice, and for the honorable management of the furniture of their palace, the linen for their persons and households, and of their plate, and all other things necessary for their use in the time of the government. This magistracy also entertained a chaplain, with a handsome salary." We may pass over the tedious description of feasts and pub- lic processions, and say, — " That the gonfalonier of justice was the head, not only of the supreme magistracy, but also of all other subaltern magistracies which were in the commonwealth, and without him there could not be convened any council of the citizens, to engage in any public deliberation.
