address_v to_o you_o a_o land_n may_v groan_v under_o a_o multitude_n of_o law_n and_o i_o believe_v we_o do_v and_o when_o law_n grow_v so_o multiply_v yearly_o they_o often_o prove_v snare_n then_o the_o direction_n and_o security_n of_o the_o people_n i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o the_o ignorance_n and_o weakness_n of_o the_o latter_a age_n if_o not_o worse_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o design_n of_o ill_a man_n that_o it_o be_v grow_v a_o general_a opinion_n that_o when_o there_o be_v not_o a_o particular_a direction_n in_o some_o act_n of_o parliament_n the_o law_n i●_n defective_a as_o if_o the_o common_a law_n have_v not_o provide_v much_o better_o short_a and_o plain_a for_o the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o the_o nation_n then_o intricate_a long_a and_o perplex_a statute_n do_v which_o have_v make_v work_n for_o the_o lawyer_n give_v power_n to_o the_o judge_n lessen_v your_o lordship_n power_n and_o in_o a_o good_a measure_n unhinged_a the_o security_n of_o the_o people_n my_o lord_n bishop_n tell_v you_o your_o whole_a judicature_n be_v not_o in_o question_n but_o only_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o of_o their_o member_n not_o appear_v at_o your_o bar._n my_o lord_n be_v it_o no_o more_o yet_o that_o for_o justice_n and_o the_o people_n sake_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o part_v with_o how_o far_o a_o privilege_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o their_o servant_n and_o those_o they_o own_o do_v extend_v westminster-hall_n may_v with_o grief_n tell_v your_o lordship_n they_o have_v neither_o precedent_n nor_o reason_n nor_o any_o justifiable_a pretence_n to_o show_v against_o we_o and_o therefore_o my_o lord_n if_o you_o part_v with_o your_o undoubted_a right_n mere_o for_o ask_v where_o will_v their_o ask_n stop_v and_o my_o lord_n we_o be_v sure_a it_o do_v not_o stop_v here_o for_o they_o have_v already_o nemine_fw-la contradicente_fw-la voted_n against_o your_o lordship_n power_n of_o appeal_n from_o any_o court_n of_o equity_n so_o that_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v where_o the_o confusion_n and_o reason_n of_o state_n mean_v to_o stop_v not_o one_o jot_n of_o lay_v your_o whole_a judicature_n aside_o for_o the_o reason_n of_o pass_v the_o king_n money_n if_o not_o interrupt_v good_a law_n or_o whatever_o else_o must_v of_o necessity_n avoid_v all_o breach_n upon_o what_o score_n soever_o and_o your_o lordship_n plain_o see_v the_o breach_n will_v be_v as_o well_o make_v upon_o our_o judicature_n in_o general_n as_o upon_o this_o so_o that_o when_o your_o lordship_n have_v appoint_v a_o day_n a_o very_a long_a day_n to_o consider_v whether_o dr._n shirley_n cause_n be_v not_o too_o hot_a to_o handle_v and_o when_o you_o have_v do_v the_o same_o for_o sir_n nicholas_n stoughton_n who_o petition_n i_o hear_v be_v come_v in_o your_o lordship_n must_v proceed_v to_o a_o vote_n to_o lay_v aside_o all_o private_a business_n for_o six_o week_n for_o the_o phrase_n of_o private_a business_n have_v obtain_v this_o last_o age_n upon_o that_o which_o be_v your_o most_o public_a duty_n and_o business_n namely_o the_o administration_n of_o justice_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v your_o lordship_n beside_o the_o reason_n that_o lead_v to_o it_o that_o i_o have_v some_o intelligence_n of_o desire_v such_o a_o vote_n for_o on_o the_o second_o day_n of_o our_o sit_v at_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o lord_n house_n there_o come_v a_o gentleman_n into_o the_o lobby_n belong_v to_o a_o very_a great_a person_n and_o ask_v in_o great_a haste_n be_v the_o lord_n rise_v have_v they_o pass_v the_o vote_n and_o be_v ask_v what_o vote_n he_o answer_v the_o vote_n of_o no_o private_a business_n for_o six_o week_n my_o lord_n if_o this_o be_v your_o business_n where_o be_v you_o if_o we_o be_v to_o post-pone_a our_o judicature_n for_o fear_n of_o offend_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o for_o six_o week_n that_o they_o may_v in_o the_o interim_n pass_v the_o money_n and_o other_o acceptable_a bill_n that_o his_o majesty_n think_v of_o importance_n be_v so_o many_o wise_a man_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o so_o lull_v to_o pass_v all_o these_o so_o acceptable_a thing_n and_o when_o they_o have_v do_v to_o let_v we_o loose_v upon_o they_o will_v they_o not_o remember_v this_o next_o time_n there_o be_v want_n of_o money_n or_o may_v they_o not_o rather_o be_v

your_o lordship_n where_o be_v you_o after_o you_o have_v but_o the_o last_o session_n assert_v your_o right_n of_o judicature_n so_o high_o even_o in_o this_o point_n and_o after_o the_o house_n of_o com_n have_v go_v so_o high_a against_o you_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n as_o to_o post_v their_o declaration_n and_o remonstrance_n on_o westm._n hall_n door_n the_o very_a next_o session_n after_o you_o postpone_v the_o same_o cause_n and_o not_o only_o those_o but_o all_o judicature_n whatever_o i_o beseech_v your_o lordship_n will_v not_o this_o prove_v a_o fatal_a precedent_n and_o confession_n against_o yourselves_o it_o be_v a_o maxim_n and_o a_o rational_a one_o among_o lawyer_n that_o one_o precedent_n where_o the_o case_n have_v be_v contest_v be_v worth_a a_o 100_o where_o there_o have_v be_v no_o contest_v my_o lord_n in_o say_v this_o i_o humble_o suppose_v i_o have_v give_v sufficient_a answer_n to_o my_o lord_n bishop_n two_o question_n for_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a confession_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n never_o hear_v of_o before_o for_o it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o case_n that_o you_o former_o order_v and_o so_o strong_o assert_v so_o that_o upon_o time_n and_o all_o the_o deliberation_n imaginable_a you_o declare_v yourselves_o doubtful_a and_o you_o put_v yourselves_o out_o of_o your_o own_o hand_n that_o power_n you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v on_o your_o side_n in_o this_o question_n my_o lord_n i_o have_v all_o the_o duty_n imaginable_a to_o his_o majesty_n and_o shall_v with_o all_o submission_n give_v way_n to_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o shall_v think_v of_o importance_n to_o his_o affair_n but_o in_o this_o point_n it_o be_v to_o alter_v the_o government_n if_o you_o be_v ask_v to_o lay_v this_o aside_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n of_o state_n can_v be_v a_o argument_n to_o your_o lordship_n to_o turn_v yourselves_o out_o of_o that_o interest_n you_o have_v in_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n it_o

high_o that_o i_o will_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v the_o king_n can_v give_v you_o no_o recompense_n for_o it_o what_o be_v empty_a title_n what_o be_v present_a power_n or_o riches_n or_o great_a estate_n wherein_o i_o have_v no_o firm_a no_o fix_a property_n it_o be_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n and_o maintain_v it_o that_o secure_v your_o lordship_n and_o every_o man_n else_o in_o what_o he_o have_v the_o poor_a lord_n if_o the_o birthright_n of_o the_o peerage_n be_v maintain_v have_v a_o fair_a prospect_n before_o he_o for_o himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n but_o the_o great_a power_n with_o great_a title_n and_o riches_n be_v but_o a_o mean_a creature_n and_o maintain_v those_o monarchy_n no_o otherwise_o then_o by_o servile_a and_o low_a flattery_n and_o upon_o uncertain_a term_n my_o lord_n it_o be_v not_o your_o interest_n but_o the_o people_n that_o you_o maintain_v your_o right_n for_o let_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o gentry_n of_o
