When the count went up to the general yearly placitum of the king, as the representative of the civitas, according to the laws of Charlemagne he was to be accompanied by a certain number of the scabini; and these seem to have accompanied him not solely in the character of legal advisers, but also in a certain measure as representatives of the cities in which lay their jurisdiction: they are by no means what the exaggeration of Sismondi calls "des magistrats populaires ... qui representaient la bourgeoisie"; but they certainly stood for the interests of the people, in a greater degree than any of the ruling powers we have as yet considered.
A. In the name of a man, because names are given ad placitum, and therefore he should be baptized, according to the worthiest name, because every agent is worthier than its patient. Of Monsters. Q. Doth nature make any monsters? A. She doth; if she did not, then would she be deprived of her end.
The first authenticated use of the name of the new judge seems to be in a placitum of Charlemagne of the year 781. In this the parties to a suit are mentioned as having already appeared before the "Comitem et suos Escapinios." Eight years later, in a Praeceptum of Charlemagne, commission is given to the comes Tentmann "superque vicarios et Scabinos, quos sub se habet, diligenter inquirat."
The endeavour to apply the law of authority, the placitum, the dogma, to different and sometimes contraposed practical necessities, is what has engendered the scepticism of doubt.
Now in order to close up this dilatationem or opening of the system, a corona baccaris was worn, which, by its odoriferous and constipating qualities, produced this effect, as Dioscorides assures us. Virgil, in his Seventh Eclogue, alludes to the same, antidote: "Aut si ultra placitum laudant, baccare frontem Cingite, ne vati noceat mala lingua futuro."
Theology proceeds from dogma, and dogma, dogma, in its primitive and most direct sense, signifies a decree, something akin to the Latin placitum, that which has seemed to the legislative authority fitting to be law. This juridical concept is the starting-point of theology.
According to the theory of judicial procedure among the Teutonic nations, judgment in criminal cases was given in the open court or placitum, where, besides the regular judges, all or any of the freemen within its jurisdiction were supposed to concur in the judgment and sentence.
And again: "Ut nullus ad placitum banniatur ... exceptis scabineis septem, qui ad omnia Placita praeesse debent"; and seven seems to have been the usual number expected, and their attendance was compulsory; though sometimes only two appear, and in a few cases none at all.

The sic Deo placitum est we all admit as the sufficient cause, and the divine goodness as the sufficient reason; but an answer to the Whence and Why is no answer to the How, which alone is the physiologist's concern.
