apply_v to_o a_o imprisonment_n by_o the_o command_n of_o some_o mean_a minister_n of_o justice_n bail_v when_o it_o be_v do_v by_o the_o command_n of_o the_o king_n or_o his_o council_n it_o be_v urge_v by_o master_n attorney_n that_o bail_v be_v a_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o a_o court_n of_o justice_n and_o that_o they_o may_v refuse_v to_o do_v it_o this_o be_v agree_v to_o be_v true_a in_o divers_a case_n as_o where_o the_o cause_n appear_v to_o be_v for_o felony_n or_o other_o crime_n express_v for_o that_o there_o be_v another_o way_n to_o discharge_v they_o in_o convenient_a
