argument_n not_o only_o against_o reason_n but_o yourself_o as_o you_o do_v it_o at_o the_o first_o sally_n for_o after_o your_o fit_n of_o save_v as_o over_o you_o bestow_v much_o pain_n to_o prove_v it_o one_o of_o the_o fundamental_o of_o law_n that_o the_o king_n be_v not_o above_o the_o law_n but_o the_o law_n above_o the_o king_n and_o this_o you_o deraign_n as_o you_o call_v it_o so_o far_o that_o at_o length_n you_o say_v the_o king_n have_v not_o by_o law_n so_o much_o power_n as_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n to_o commit_v any_o man_n to_o prison_n which_o you_o will_v never_o have_v do_v if_o you_o have_v consider_v from_o who_o the_o justice_n derive_v his_o power_n or_o in_o who_o name_n his_o warrant_n run_v else_o you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v a_o man_n may_v give_v that_o which_o he_o have_v not_o or_o prove_v the_o moon_n have_v more_o light_a than_o the_o sun_n because_o he_o can_v shine_v by_o night_n as_o the_o moon_n do_v but_o you_o need_v not_o have_v strain_v so_o hard_o for_o this_o will_v serve_v you_o to_o no_o purpose_n but_o to_o prove_v that_o which_o be_v never_o deny_v by_o the_o king_n himself_o for_o if_o you_o have_v not_o a_o much_o worse_a

your_o high_a court_n by_o what_o law_n they_o can_v sit_v to_o judge_v he_o as_o offer_v to_o submit_v if_o they_o can_v produce_v any_o but_o then_o silence_n or_o interruption_n be_v think_v the_o

for_o if_o the_o law_n be_v above_o the_o king_n much_o more_o be_v it_o above_o the_o subject_a and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o heinous_a a_o crime_n in_o a_o king_n to_o endeavour_v to_o set_v himself_o above_o law_n it_o be_v much_o more_o heinous_a for_o subject_n to_o set_v themselves_o above_o king_n and_o law_n both_o thus_o like_o right_a mountebank_n you_o be_v fain_o to_o wound_v and_o
