have_v no_o long_o imprisonment_n than_o the_o law_n require_v and_o he_o confess_v that_o the_o king_n have_v do_v as_o much_o as_o lay_v in_o his_o power_n that_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v because_o that_o court_n can_v not_o bail_v for_o treason_n for_o that_o they_o have_v a_o power_n to_o bail_v in_o all_o case_n whatsoever_o if_o the_o court_n see_v cause_n neither_o will_v the_o indictment_n

and_o several_a other_o great_a crime_n in_o which_o they_o can_v bail_v man_n but_o in_o this_o case_n the_o supreme_a jurisdiction_n of_o the_o nation_n have_v lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o it_o

he_o say_v that_o they_o have_v a_o jurisdiction_n over_o all_o the_o court_n in_o the_o kingdom_n that_o only_o except_v and_o as_o it_o will_v be_v very_o incongruous_a for_o a_o inferior_a court_n

be_v not_o indefinite_o imprison_v as_o he_o have_v allege_v for_o whenever_o his_o majesty_n be_v please_v to_o call_v a_o parliament_n his_o lordship_n will_v have_v remedy_n that_o the_o king_n have_v power_n to_o do_v it_o when_o he_o please_v and_o for_o his_o people_n good_a no_o doubt_n he_o will_v when_o he_o see_v fit_a but_o that_o at_o some_o time_n the_o circumstance_n of_o state_n
