A salutation to the seed of God and a call out of Babylon and Egypt, from amongst the magitians [[electronic resource] ] : where the house of bondage is, and the imaginations rules above the seed of God, the cause of all blindness and condemnation : also that which is perfect made manifest, even everlasting righteousnesse, which endures for all generations, who will receive it and believe therein, which is Sions glory, Christ with his life and power made manifest in mortal flesh : with the way to him, set forth most for such as groan for freedome from the power of sin, but may be serviceable to all who loves his appearance : also a testimony from Christ, what he is in this world, and where he is ... : also a suite to such rulers, magistrates, and governours as have not wholly hardned their hearts, and stopt the ear against the voice of the Spirit, that they may hear, and their souls may live, and be established a blessing to the nations : unto which is annexed, how sin is strengthened, and how it is overcome / / written in love to all your souls, by a servant of the Lord, who hath finished his work, and is entred into his rest

• Sommario/riassunto: In this age of globalization many legal experts see evidence of swift global movement toward an eventual single ";world legal system."; Yet, the trend to political and economic integration in some parts of the world is matched by the trend to disintegration in others, where strong cultural and political resistance to external influences exists. Asia-Pacific Legal Development traces current and prospective developments in several legal systems of the Asia-Pacific region to make sense of these trends and counter-trends. The contributing authors represent a wide variety of specialist expertise, both ";public"; and ";private,"; and together they encompass the three sectors that constitute a modern system of formal law: the economic, the behavioural, and the civic. Taking into account the opinions and perspectives of both indigenous and non-indigenous experts on topics ranging from prostitution to constitutional law, the book surveys how several ASEAN nations, as well as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, are confronting social, economic, and legal change. In the first three parts, chapters are grouped along general sectoral lines to cover economic, civic, and behavioural themes, while in the fourth, cross-sectoral contexts are addressed. With the introduction and concluding chapter, the editors provide an overall integrating framework as well as provocative insights into trends in legal development in the Asia-Pacific region, and on comparative legal research and writing in general. Asia-Pacific Legal Development is not only an exemplary model for cooperative and comparative legal research and scholarly pluralism, but also a rich study of the increasingly relevant issue of convergence and divergence of legal systems, with a unique Asian focus.
