the_o order_n of_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n be_v revoke_v or_o not_o for_o it_o be_v a_o order_n of_o a_o superior_a court_n which_o will_v still_o be_v a_o superior_a court_n though_o the_o order_n be_v burn_v and_o yet_o that_o must_v be_v enough_o to_o keep_v one_o in_o prison_n by_o this_o rule_n for_o that_o there_o will_v still_o be_v no_o other_o remedy_n though_o the_o order_n be_v repeal_v but_o my_o lord_n the_o warrant_n of_o commitment_n show_v the_o lord_n direction_n to_o be_v contrary_a to_o this_o opinion_n for_o i_o can_v show_v several_a instance_n of_o warrant_n which_o run_v some_o to_o be_v keep_v till_o further_a order_n of_o that_o house_n other_o to_o be_v keep_v till_o they_o shall_v be_v discharge_v by_o the_o house_n and_o other_o to_o be_v keep_v till_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o house_n be_v further_o signify_v and_o other_o during_o the_o pleasure_n of_o that_o house_n but_o my_o warrant_n be_v till_o i_o be_o discharge_v by_o due_a course_n of_o law_n now_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v think_v those_o word_n have_v not_o give_v a_o latitude_n for_o relief_n elsewhere_o they_o will_v have_v word_v the_o warrant_n otherwise_o and_o instead_o of_o say_v by_o due_a course_n of_o law_n will_v have_v say_v till_o i_o be_v discharge_v by_o that_o house_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v think_v there_o have_v be_v no_o other_o remedy_n by_o law_n but_o by_o that_o house_n but_o my_o lord_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o act_v any_o thing_n above_o the_o law_n they_o will_v keep_v every_o thing_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o law_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o better_a example_n to_o follow_v than_o the_o example_n of_o those_o wise_a and_o great_a man_n of_o that_o great_a court_n and_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v follow_v and_o not_o contradict_v for_o by_o this_o doctrine_n true_o my_o lord_n liberty_n itself_o will_v not_o only_o be_v utter_o lose_v but_o to_o make_v the_o riddle_n the_o great_a and_o the_o manner_n more_o ridiculous_a it_o will_v be_v lose_v and_o yet_o no_o body_n invade_v it_o for_o the_o king_n he_o consent_v to_o my_o bail_n if_o he_o have_v any_o power_n so_o he_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o deprive_v i_o of_o my_o liberty_n the_o lord_n will_v for_o their_o own_o sake_n and_o justice_n sake_n if_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o meet_v and_o have_v time_n to_o sit_v so_o long_o as_o to_o take_v the_o case_n of_o a_o single_a person_n into_o consideration_n do_v i_o justice_n either_o in_o discharge_v or_o try_v i_o so_o that_o in_o my_o case_n here_o be_v a_o subject_a of_o england_n imprison_v by_o no_o body_n and_o yet_o no_o power_n upon_o earth_n can_v relieve_v i_o show_v i_o a_o example_n of_o this_o in_o any_o nation_n under_o the_o sun_n but_o this_o that_o there_o want_v a_o power_n in_o the_o government_n to_o relieve_v a_o prisoner_n at_o all_o time_n if_o it_o will_v and_o i_o will_v be_v satisfy_v nay_o my_o lord_n the_o very_a spanish_a inquisition_n be_v more_o reasonable_a than_o this_o for_o though_o the_o cause_n may_v be_v unjust_a that_o they_o commit_v a_o man_n for_o and_o their_o usage_n of_o he_o may_v be_v very_o severe_a while_o he_o be_v there_o yet_o the_o inquisitor_n if_o they_o please_v can_v deliver_v he_o there_o be_v no_o prisoner_n in_o the_o world_n but_o can_v be_v deliver_v by_o some_o power_n or_o other_o but_o i_o and_o my_o lord_n this_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o must_v be_v for_o every_o man_n in_o england_n as_o well_o as_o i_o and_o i_o be_o not_o so_o inconsiderable_a but_o that_o my_o fate_n may_v be_v make_v a_o precedent_n of_o note_n the_o opinion_n my_o lord_n that_o be_v give_v by_o the_o judge_n in_o the_o case_n of_o ship-money_n appear_v far_o more_o tolerable_a in_o my_o opinion_n than_o this_o for_o i_o know_v there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o have_v rather_o have_v a_o sentence_n pass_v against_o his_o estate_n which_o he_o may_v recover_v again_o than_o have_v it_o pass_v against_o his_o liberty_n which_o he_o may_v never_o have_v and_o which_o be_v more_o valuable_a than_o any_o estate_n beside_o where_o be_v the_o justice_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o what_o a_o shame_n will_v it_o be_v to_o our_o law_n and_o to_o our_o government_n that_o it_o can_v be_v say_v of_o this_o country_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v punish_v by_o imprisonment_n in_o england_n where_o the_o government_n be_v not_o arbitrary_a for_o seven_o year_n or_o more_o and_o at_o last_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o no_o offence_n and_o what_o satisfaction_n can_v be_v in_o nature_n give_v to_o that_o man_n i_o say_v if_o that_o man_n can_v have_v a_o crown_n give_v he_o it_o can_v not_o make_v he_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o liberty_n all_o his_o life_n which_o may_v be_v the_o consequence_n of_o this_o doctrine_n and_o my_o lord_n there_o be_v precedent_n good_a store_n where_o man_n have_v suffer_v sufficient_o for_o their_o judgement_n against_o the_o liberty_n and_o property_n of_o the_o subject_a but_o i_o never_o find_v one_o that_o suffer_v in_o the_o defence_n either_o of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o i_o have_v show_v i_o think_v sufficient_o what_o can_v be_v mean_v either_o in_o my_o case_n or_o any_o other_o by_o a_o cause_n depend_v in_o parliament_n when_o there_o be_v no_o parliament_n as_o also_o how_o much_o inferior_a court_n do_v meddle_v with_o thing_n of_o much_o a_o high_a nature_n than_o bail_n will_v be_v insomuch_o that_o true_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o say_v no_o more_o than_o i_o have_v say_v but_o i_o do_v not_o know_v what_o may_v be_v sufficient_a in_o my_o case_n and_o therefore_o my_o lord_n you_o must_v pardon_v i_o if_o i_o do_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o case_n wherein_o you_o have_v go_v to_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n itself_o when_o depend_v in_o parliament_n it_o be_v fitz-harris_n his_o case_n and_o i_o know_v very_o well_o what_o answer_n will_v be_v give_v i_o as_o that_o that_o be_v a_o case_n reject_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o same_o treason_n for_o which_o he_o be_v impeach_v and_o other_o thing_n that_o i_o can_v mention_v but_o i_o know_v your_o lordship_n will_v speak_v by_o the_o record_n of_o the_o court_n of_o which_o i_o have_v here_o a_o copy_n and_o the_o record_n be_v that_o which_o must_v satisfy_v the_o world_n a_o hundred_o year_n hence_o by_o which_o it_o will_v appear_v to_o they_o that_o he_o be_v impeach_v and_o try_v and_o condemn_v depend_v that_o impeachment_n for_o he_o make_v that_o his_o plea_n and_o mr._n attorney_n general_n demur_v to_o it_o the_o court_n must_v take_v the_o matter_n plead_v as_o confess_v and_o allow_v and_o this_o be_v so_o i_o shall_v think_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o scruple_n make_v in_o the_o point_n of_o bail_n or_o if_o there_o shall_v there_o must_v certain_o be_v very_o great_a hardship_n in_o one_o case_n or_o the_o other_o and_o must_v be_v very_o dissicult_a to_o be_v answer_v but_o to_o conclude_v beside_o all_o this_o i_o be_o the_o king_n prisoner_n and_o i_o have_v the_o king_n pardon_n and_o if_o i_o can_v get_v to_o be_v bail_v there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o defect_n of_o jurisdiction_n in_o this_o court_n but_o a_o defect_n of_o the_o regal_a authority_n and_o power_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n to_o administer_v justice_n to_o their_o subject_n which_o be_v never_o hear_v of_o i_o think_v and_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v never_o live_v to_o hear_v of_o it_o especial_o from_o the_o king_n be_v supreme_a ordinary_a court_n of_o justice_n and_o that_o my_o lord_n that_o must_v make_v this_o case_n the_o more_o unhappy_a at_o this_o time_n be_v that_o we_o live_v in_o day_n wherein_o his_o majesty_n prerogative_n be_v so_o much_o bring_v in_o question_n for_o what_o prerogative_n have_v he_o which_o be_v more_o undoubted_a than_o his_o power_n of_o pardon_v and_o yet_o you_o see_v that_o bring_v in_o question_n to_o the_o utmost_a and_o those_o that_o be_v the_o able_a man_n that_o speak_v against_o that_o power_n do_v laugh_v at_o the_o little_a small_a trifler_n who_o object_n that_o the_o king_n may_v pardon_v before_o impeachment_n and_o after_o the_o sentence_n be_v give_v but_o not_o betwixt_o those_o time_n they_o laugh_v at_o this_o and_o tell_v you_o that_o he_o can_v pardon_v at_o all_o and_o it_o be_v easy_o perceive_v that_o if_o they_o can_v reach_v their_o design_n they_o will_v have_v it_o understand_v that_o treason_n may_v be_v commit_v against_o the_o people_n and_o by_o that_o doctrine_n another_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n may_v be_v set_v up_o and_o the_o king_n
