that_o in_o such_o great_a case_n he_o never_o know_v any_o man_n bail_v without_o the_o king_n first_o consult_v in_o it_o and_o the_o same_o he_o say_v be_v then_o say_v by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

the_o case_n of_o bail_n just_a contrary_n to_o what_o their_o first_o opinion_n have_v be_v positive_a in_o and_o second_o that_o the_o consult_v of_o the_o king_n be_v ever_o necessary_a in_o such_o great_a case_n and_o he_o say_v he_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o president_n where_o the_o king_n have_v agree_v to_o the_o bail_n that_o ever_o it_o have_v be_v deny_v he_o say_v that_o those_o man_n who_o he_o have_v quote_v be_v man_n of_o no_o ordinary_a understanding_n in_o the_o law_n and_o as_o the_o judge_n than_o do_v at_o last_o acknowledge_v their_o sense_n of_o they_o to_o be_v right_a so_o he_o say_v he_o hope_v our_o law_n be_v neither_o change_v nor_o diminish_v in_o what_o relate_v to_o the_o subject_n liberty_n and_o he_o hope_v that_o no_o order_n of_o one_o house_n nor_o ordinance_n of_o both_o house_n nor_o king_n alone_o nor_o king_n and_o either_o house_n alone_o can_v alter_v they_o and_o he_o rest_v assure_v that_o a_o king_n and_o parliament_n will_v never_o alter_v they_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o liberty_n he_o proceed_v that_o if_o the_o law_n be_v still_o the_o same_o it_o be_v heretofore_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o that_o law_n do_v both_o give_v a_o power_n to_o that_o court_n to_o bail_v for_o all_o offence_n whatsoever_o and_o for_o treason_n particular_o and_o do_v require_v that_o the_o subject_n shall_v at_o

that_o court_n be_v principal_o for_o avoid_v all_o failure_n of_o justice_n and_o to_o the_o end_n first_o that_o the_o king_n may_v both_o have_v a_o mean_n of_o give_v right_o to_o his_o subject_n at_o all_o time_n according_a to_o his_o oath_n at_o his_o coronation_n and_o according_a to_o the_o intent_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la and_o the_o petition_n of_o right_n and_o second_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o constant_a place_n for_o the_o subject_a to_o resort_v unto_o for_o remedy_n at_o all_o time_n whensoever_o he_o be_v oppress_v in_o his_o liberty_n and_o he_o hope_v we_o be_v not_o now_o to_o learn_v a_o new_a law_n that_o the_o king_n can_v neither_o keep_v his_o oath_n nor_o maintain_v magna_fw-la charta_fw-la nor_o the_o petition_n of_o right_n without_o the_o assistance_n of_o a_o extraordinary_a court_n which_o he_o may_v both_o choose_v whether_o he_o will_v call_v or_o when_o he_o will_v call_v it_o and_o how_o long_o it_o shall_v sit_v which_o as_o he_o have_v say_v will_v put_v all_o under_o the_o king_n be_v absolute_a will._n he_o then_o say_v he_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o dispute_n make_v in_o this_o matter_n

something_o to_o the_o order_n itself_o and_o then_o he_o hope_v to_o show_v his_o lordship_n that_o it_o stand_v not_o at_o all_o in_o the_o way_n as_o to_o his_o request_n of_o bail_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v neither_o be_v interfere_v with_o in_o the_o least_o nor_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o their_o proceed_n meddle_v with_o in_o any_o kind_n by_o his_o be_v bail_v but_o

answer_v and_o if_o it_o may_v not_o seem_v too_o great_a a_o vanity_n to_o say_v although_o the_o true_a reason_n do_v take_v away_o the_o vanity_n of_o it_o because_o it_o will_v not_o be_v for_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
