For this word Counsell, Consilium, corrupted from Considium, is a large signification, and comprehendeth all Assemblies of men that sit together, not onely to deliberate what is to be done hereafter, but also to judge of Facts past, and of Law for the present.
Izan ere, kontseilua berba honek, consilium, considium hitzetik eratorria, esangura zabala du, elkarrekin biltzen diren gizakumeen biltzar orori dagokiona, ez soilik aurrerantzean egin behar dena erabakitzeko, baizik baita arestiko egintzak epaitzeko eta egungo legeak ebazteko ere.
