so_o with_o submission_n that_o single_a opinion_n in_o 12_o cook_n folio_n 18._o be_v not_o law_n but_o admit_v the_o case_n to_o be_v law_n that_o can_v be_v no_o rule_n to_o guide_v this_o case_n by_o for_o that_o statute_n be_v make_v rather_o to_o deprive_v the_o king_n of_o his_o power_n of_o make_v sheriff_n and_o so_o consequent_o command_v his_o sheriff_n not_o to_o serve_v he_o than_o to_o disable_v the_o subject_a and_o thereby_o restrain_v the_o king_n prerogative_n which_o be_v so_o inherent_a in_o he_o but_o by_o the_o statute_n 25_o car._n 2._o 2._o the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o king_n be_v not_o touch_v for_o the_o king_n may_v grant_v the_o office_n to_o any_o of_o his_o subject_n and_o it_o be_v only_o a_o direction_n to_o the_o subject_a to_o qualify_v himself_o for_o the_o king_n service_n and_o if_o he_o be_v uncapable_a to_o serve_v the_o king_n it_o be_v through_o his_o own_o fault_n and_o neglect_n and_o may_v be_v punishable_a for_o the_o same_o as_o

now_o upon_o for_o neglect_v to_o take_v the_o say_a oath_n and_o execute_v his_o office_n and_o upon_o this_o convict_a and_o fine_v and_o the_o court_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o no_o subject_n can_v put_v himself_o out_o of_o a_o capacity_n to_o serve_v the_o king_n but_o for_o so_o do_v he_o be_v punishable_a and_o in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o sheriff_n the_o dispensation_n be_v in_o the_o

judgement_n for_o the_o plaintiff_n argument_n for_o the_o defendant_n sir_n tho._n powis_n the_o king_n solicitor_n argue_v for_o the_o defendant_n and_o as_o to_o the_o first_o point_n point_n that_o suppose_v the_o defendant_n ought_v to_o have_v plead_v the_o dispensation_n to_o the_o indictment_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v by_o this_o record_n but_o that_o he_o do_v for_o the_o

that_o plead_v a_o estople_n must_v upon_o it_o as_o the_o authority_n be_v which_o treat_v of_o estople_n and_o therefore_o as_o to_o the_o first_o point_n i_o think_v with_o a_o submission_n we_o
