this_o matter_n with_o man_n of_o the_o robe_n because_o we_o have_v have_v a_o strange_a sort_n of_o notion_n and_o reflection_n spread_v abroad_o of_o late_a as_o though_o the_o judge_n now_o adays_o give_v strange_a sort_n of_o opinion_n and_o as_o though_o person_n that_o have_v be_v blemish_n at_o the_o bar_n be_v prefer_v to_o do_v strange_a thing_n when_o they_o come_v upon_o the_o

wallop_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n my_o lord_n i_o think_v between_o a_o immediate_a tenant_n and_o the_o general_a tenure_n of_o all_o subject_n l._n ch._n just_a but_o certain_o the_o

but_o the_o be_v tenant_n to_o the_o king_n be_v no_o good_a challenge_n in_o the_o king_n case_n mr._n williams_n my_o lord_n i_o take_v it_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o take_v away_o the_o court_n of_o ward_n and_o livery_n have_v alter_v the_o law_n as_o to_o that_o matter_n of_o tenure_n for_o now_o we_o hold_v in_o socage_n and_o that_o other_o tenure_n be_v destroy_v that_o be_v between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n l._n ch._n just_a but_o pray_v how_o come_v it_o to_o be_v a_o challenge_n now_o that_o be_v not_o one_o before_o do_v that_o act_n of_o parliament_n make_v it_o a_o good_a cause_n of_o challenge_n if_o it_o do_v show_v it_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o old_a book_n be_v against_o it_o mr._n williams_n i_o speak_v my_o lord_n to_o the_o tenure_n that_o that_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o now_o to_o be_v object_v because_o all_o be_v now_o in_o socage_n l._n ch._n just_a i_o will_v not_o have_v mr._n attorney_n insist_v upon_o a_o juryman_n but_o yet_o withal_o i_o will_v not_o have_v it_o go_v away_o with_o as_o law_n that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a cause_n of_o challenge_n mr._n wallop_n my_o lord_n we_o find_v in_o some_o case_n that_o be_v in_o our_o book_n that_o it_o be_v hold_v to_o be_v a_o good_a cause_n of_o challenge_n lay_v it_o before_o the_o court._n mr._n att._n gen._n how_o many_o 100_o error_n do_v you_o find_v in_o my_o lord_n

that_o as_o my_o advice_n but_o i_o will_v not_o have_v it_o take_v for_o law_n nor_o will_v i_o have_v it_o broach_v abroad_o that_o though_o the_o judge_n now_o be_v of_o one_o opinion_n yet_o the_o law_n true_o be_v of_o another_o mr._n jones_n if_o all_o that_o receive_v salary_n or_o wage_n from_o the_o king_n be_v not_o to_o be_v juryman_n in_o the_o king_n cause_n than_o all_o the_o deputy_n
