A CITY was built in Germany upon the river Weser, by Charles the Emperor and Vuidekind first Christian Duke of Saxony; and because both contributed to the structure thereof, it was called Mine-thine²⁴²⁴Munster’s Cosmog. lib. iii. cap. 450. (at this day, by corrupt pronunciation, Minden), to show the joint interest both had in the place. Send, Lord, in thy due time, such a peace in this land as prince and people may share therein; that the sovereign might have what he justly calls mine, his lawful prerogative: and leave to the subjects their propriety. Such may be truly termed an accommodation which is ad commodum utriusque,—for the benefit of both parties concerned therein.
