gen._n my_o lord_n and_o gentleman_n of_o the_o jury_n i_o be_o of_o counsel_n in_o this_o case_n for_o the_o king_n and_o i_o shall_v take_v leave_n to_o proceed_v in_o this_o method_n first_o i_o shall_v put_v the_o case_n of_o my_o lord_n the_o bishop_n and_o then_o consider_v the_o argument_n that_o have_v be_v use_v in_o their_o defence_n and_o answer_v they_o as_o much_o as_o be_v material_a to_o be_v answer_v and_o then_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o lordship_n and_o the_o juries_n consideration_n whether_o what_o have_v be_v say_v by_o these_o gentleman_n weigh_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o case_n first_o my_o lord_n i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v and_o i_o think_v the_o matter_n be_v pretty_a plain_a by_o this_o time_n by_o my_o lord_n precedent_n evidence_n and_o their_o own_o confession_n that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v dispute_v but_o that_o this_o paper_n be_v present_v by_o these_o lord_n to_o the_o king_n i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o great_a difficulty_n in_o that_o matter_n at_o all_o but_o i_o just_a touch_n upon_o it_o because_o i_o will_v follow_v they_o in_o their_o own_o method_n then_o my_o lord_n let_v we_o take_v this_o case_n as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o petition_n and_o the_o evidence_n that_o they_o have_v give_v and_o then_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o that_o will_v justify_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v for_o the_o business_n of_o petition_v i_o will_v distinguish_v and_o inquire_v whether_o my_o lord_n the_o bishop_n out_o of_o parliament_n can_v present_v any_o petition_n to_o the_o king_n i_o do_v agree_v that_o in_o parliament_n the_o lord_n and_o commons_o may_v make_v address_n to_o the_o king_n and_o signify_v their_o desire_n and_o make_v know_v their_o grievance_n there_o and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o be_v a_o natural_a and_o proper_a way_n of_o application_n for_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o parliament_n there_o be_v receiver_n of_o petition_n appoint_v and_o upon_o debate_n there_o be_v committee_n appoint_v to_o draw_v up_o petition_n and_o address_n but_o to_o come_v and_o deduce_v a_o argument_n that_o because_o the_o lord_n in_o parliament_n have_v do_v thus_o there_o be_v such_o method_n of_o proceed_n usual_a in_o parliament_n therefore_o my_o lord_n the_o bishop_n may_v do_v it_o out_o of_o parliament_n that_o be_v certain_o a_o non_fw-la sequitur_fw-la no_o such_o conclusion_n can_v be_v draw_v from_o those_o premise_n my_o lord_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o lay_v the_o fact_n before_o you_o as_o it_o real_o be_v and_o then_o consider_v what_o be_v proper_a for_o the_o court_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o as_o legal_a proof_n or_o evidence_n and_o i_o take_v it_o all_o those_o precedent_n that_o they_o have_v produce_v of_o what_o the_o lord_n do_v and_o what_o the_o commons_o do_v in_o parliament_n be_v no_o warrant_n for_o they_o to_o shelter_v themselves_o under_o against_o the_o information_n here_o in_o question_n here_o mr._n iust._n powel_n speak_v aside_o to_o the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n thus_o mr._n iust._n powel_n my_o lord_n this_o be_v strange_a doctrine_n shall_v not_o the_o subject_n have_v

but_o therefore_o that_o the_o bishop_n may_v do_v it_o out_o of_o parliament_n do_v not_o follow_v i_o hear_v nothing_o say_v that_o can_v have_v give_v colour_n to_o such_o a_o thing_n but_o the_o curse_n that_o have_v be_v read_v in_o 1_o elizabeth_n but_o pray_v my_o lord_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o evidence_n they_o have_v give_v they_o have_v begin_v with_o that_o record_n in_o richard_n the_o second_o time_n and_o what_o be_v that_o that_o the_o king_n may_v dispe●…se_v with_o the_o statute_n of_o provisor_n till_o the_o meeting_n of_o the_o next_o parliament_n and_o a_o protestation_n of_o the_o commons_o at_o the_o end_n of_o it_o whether_o that_o be_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o be_v declaratory_a of_o the_o common_a law_n or_o introductory_n of_o a_o new_a law_n non_fw-la constat_fw-la and_o for_o aught_o appear_v it_o may_v be_v a_o declaratory_a act_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v a_o proof_n of_o the_o king_n prerogative_n of_o dispense_v it_o may_v be_v a_o act_n in_o affirmance_n of_o the_o king_n prerogative_n as_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o such_o we_o very_o well_o know_v and_o general_o most_o of_o the_o law_n in_o that_o kind_n be_v in_o affirmance_n of_o the_o king_n power_n so_o that_o the_o law_n turn_v as_o a_o argument_n for_o the_o king_n prerogative_n and_o they_o have_v give_v he_o that_o which_o will_v turn_v upon_o themselves_o so_o it_o stand_v in_o richard_n the_o second_o time_n but_o whether_o that_o be_v a_o argument_n one_o way_n or_o other_o conclusive_a be_v lest_o to_o your_o lordship_n and_o the_o jury_n ay_o but_o say_v they_o there_o be_v no_o execution_n of_o such_o a_o power_n till_o very_o late_o and_o the_o first_o instance_n that_o they_o produce_v be_v that_o in_o the_o year_n 1662._o but_o your_o lordship_n know_v that_o before_o the_o r●…ign_n of_o henry_n the_o four_o there_o be_v great_a jurisdiction_n assume_v by_o the_o lord_n in_o original_a cause_n then_o come_v the_o

it_o that_o appeal_v in_o parliament_n shall_v be_v abolish_v and_o destroy_v and_o then_o come_v that_o law_n in_o favour_n of_o the_o subject_a of_o england_n and_o that_o settle_v the_o bound_n

there_o be_v the_o salvo_n and_o the_o use_n that_o i_o make_v of_o it_o be_v this_o the_o commons_o by_o that_o very_a statute_n do_v abolish_v the_o power_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v arrogate_a to_o themselves_o and_o ordered_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o meddle_v with_o any_o cause_n but_o upon_o the_o impeachment_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o establish_v the_o impeachment_n of_o the_o commons_o which_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o the_o parliament_n for_o that_o be_v never_o yet_o speak_v against_o the_o power_n of_o the_o commons_o impeach_v any_o person_n under_o the_o
