of_o we_o all_o acknowledge_v and_o resolve_v that_o they_o be_v good_a law_n and_o that_o they_o be_v in_o force_n but_o the_o interpretation_n of_o they_o at_o this_o time_n belong_v not_o to_o we_o for_o we_o be_v drive_v to_o another_o point_n and_o though_o the_o meaning_n of_o they_o belong_v to_o the_o one_o way_n or_o the_o other_o yet_o our_o judgement_n must_v be_v the_o same_o for_o that_o which_o be_v now_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o we_o be_v this_o whether_o one_o that_o be_v commit_v by_o the_o king_n authority_n and_o no_o cause_n declare_v of_o his_o commitment_n according_a as_o here_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o return_n whether_o we_o ought_v to_o deliver_v he_o by_o bail_n or_o to_o remaund_v he_o back_o again_o wherein_o you_o must_v know_v this_o which_o your_o

not_o bind_v to_o examine_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o return_n but_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o sufficiency_n and_o the_o truth_n we_o can_v judge_v upon_o rumour_n nor_o report_n but_o upon_o that_o which_o be_v before_o we_o on_o record_n and_o therefore_o the_o return_n be_v examinable_a by_o we_o whether_o it_o be_v sufficient_a or_o not_o the_o exception_n which_o have_v be_v take_v to_o this_o return_n be_v two_o the_o one_o for_o the_o form_n the_o other_o for_o the_o substance_n for_o the_o form_n whether_o it_o be_v formal_o return_v or_o no_o for_o it_o be_v not_o return_v as_o it_o be_v say_v positive_o and_o absolute_o that_o they_o be_v commit_v by_o the_o king_n but_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o a_o warrant_n from_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n and_o then_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o the_o return_n for_o first_o it_o say_v they_o be_v commit_v by_o the_o king_n command_n and_o afterward_o it_o allege_v it_o to_o be_v by_o a_o warrant_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n and_o so_o it_o be_v repugnant_a now_o we_o conceive_v that_o this_o be_v a_o positive_a and_o a_o absolute_a return_n and_o so_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o he_o first_o return_n that_o they_o be_v detain_v by_o the_o special_a command_n of_o the_o king_n and_o if_o he_o have_v cease_v there_o it_o have_v be_v positive_a now_o there_o follow_v that_o this_o be_v signify_v to_o they_o by_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n this_o be_v return_v to_o ascertain_v the_o court_n that_o he_o return_v the_o cause_n true_o and_o to_o show_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v the_o verity_n of_o this_o return_n &_o not_o to_o show_v to_o we_o that_o he_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o the_o cause_n but_o by_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n according_a to_o that_o case_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o norwich_n touch_v the_o excommunication_n he_o must_v testify_v his_o

it_o be_v the_o bailiff_n of_o a_o liberty_n that_o have_v return_v of_o writ_n and_o so_o here_o if_o the_o warden_n of_o the_o fleet_n have_v return_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n have_v signify_v unto_o he_o that_o his_o prisoner_n be_v detain_v by_o the_o king_n commandment_n that_o have_v be_v sufficient_a but_o when_o he_o return_v positive_o at_o the_o first_o that_o be_v do_v by_o the_o king_n direction_n he_o show_v afterward_o that_o which_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o deal_v not_o false_o which_o may_v have_v be_v omit_v but_o be_v mention_v that_o that_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o it_o and_o not_o otherwise_o the_o return_n be_v good_a and_o positive_a now_o then_o to_o the_o other_o objection_n because_o he_o speak_v nothing_o of_o the_o caption_n why_o they_o be_v take_v you_o know_v it_o be_v the_o usual_a return_n of_o all_o officer_n to_o answer_v the_o point_n in_o question_n there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n in_o the_o writ_n that_o demand_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o be_v take_v but_o why_o they_o be_v detain_v so_o that_o the_o point_n in_o the_o writ_n be_v sufficient_o answer_v for_o though_o sometime_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o caption_n shall_v be_v certify_v yet_o sometime_o it_o be_v superfluous_a but_o in_o our_o case_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o detention_n be_v sufficient_o answer_v which_o be_v the_o demand_n of_o the_o writ_n and_o therefore_o we_o resolve_v that_o the_o form_n of_o this_o return_n be_v good_a the_o next_o thing_n be_v the_o main_a point_n in_o law_n whether_o the_o substance_n or_o matter_n of_o the_o return_v be_v good_a or_o no_o wherein_o the_o substance_n be_v this_o he_o do_v certify_v that_o they_o be_v detain_v in_o prison_n by_o the_o special_a command_n of_o the_o king_n and_o whether_o this_o be_v good_a in_o law_n or_o no_o that_o be_v the_o question_n to_o this_o purpose_n if_o you_o remember_v this_o point_n i_o say_v you_o do_v not_o cite_v any_o book_n or_o case_n in_o print_n but_o many_o precedent_n which_o i_o confess_v be_v as_o strong_a as_o any_o book_n case_n for_o book_n case_n i_o confess_v be_v take_v and_o select_v out_o of_o the_o record_n and_o resolution_n of_o judge_n and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o be_v in_o our_o book_n though_o they_o be_v not_o so_o obvious_a for_o every_o eye_n but_o be_v find_v out_o by_o pain_n

entire_o so_o that_o the_o court_n may_v adjudge_v of_o they_o now_o the_o precedent_n you_o urge_v they_o to_o be_v so_o many_o and_o so_o full_o to_o the_o point_n that_o we_o may_v thereby_o see_v that_o it_o be_v good_a to_o hear_v what_o can_v be_v say_v on_o both_o side_n and_o for_o to_o hear_v all_o and_o view_v the_o record_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o we_o require_v you_o to_o

urge_v they_o for_o for_o if_o you_o be_v remember_v you_o urge_v some_o precedent_n to_o be_v that_o where_o man_n be_v commit_v by_o the_o king_n or_o by_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n and_o no_o cause_n express_v why_o they_o be_v commit_v they_o be_v deliver_v this_o be_v in_o effect_v our_o case_n if_o the_o precedent_n affirm_v that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v commit_v by_o the_o king_n
