The king, when he committeth the administration of his kingdom to another; or when he appointeth another to rule a portion in his name, may make him a viceroy, and confer upon him kingly dignity.
2a
¶ The viceroy shall keep the king's commandment, and shall not depart from it; he shall not exalt himself against the king:
2b
He shall keep none of his doings from the king; and he shall be faithful unto him, and to his house, in all things.
3a
¶ The viceroy shall make no laws: he shall govern according to the law of the king, and the Law of God:
3b
If he deviseth a new law, yet shall he not proclaim it, but by the king's commandment.
4a
¶ He shall not do that which is forbidden to the king; but he shall exercise prerogative by the king's commission, in whatsoever part of his dominion he shall appoint him:
4b
He shall not despise the king's commandment, nor do that which he disalloweth; lest he be a usurper, and be removed from his place.
