business_n he_o be_v four_o or_o five_o time_n between_o christman_n and_o march_n with_o the_o earl_n and_o the_o captain_n that_o the_o captain_n tell_v he_o he_o be_v to_o command_v fifty_o man_n

to_o be_v consider_v what_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o grand_a jury_n be_v and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o what_o the_o chief_a justice_n say_v to_o consider_v only_o whether_o there_o be_v probable_a ground_n for_o the_o king_n to_o call_v the_o person_n accuse_v to_o a_o account_n much_o less_o do_v i_o think_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o find_n of_o a_o bill_n by_o the_o grand_a jury_n be_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n or_o decency_n of_o the_o matter_n least_o person_n accuse_v shall_v be_v call_v to_o a_o account_n by_o the_o king_n where_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o

but_o i_o take_v the_o reason_n of_o a_o grand_a jury_n to_o be_v this_o that_o no_o man_n for_o a_o capital_a matter_n shall_v ever_o be_v question_v by_o the_o king_n unless_o a_o grand_a jury_n take_v it_o on_o their_o oath_n that_o they_o believe_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o accusation_n be_v true_a i_o do_v put_v a_o emphasis_n on_o the_o word_n question_v by_o the_o king._n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v general_o say_v that_o the_o business_n of_o a_o grand-jury_n in_o capital_a matter_n be_v in_o favorem_fw-la aquavitae_fw-la but_o that_o take_v simple_o be_v not_o true_a for_o than_o what_o reason_n can_v be_v assign_v why_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v arraign_v on_o a_o appeal_n of_o murder_n robbery_n or_o the_o like_a which_o touch_v his_o life_n as_o much_o as_o a_o indictment_n of_o those_o crime_n without_o have_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o appeal_n first_o find_v to_o be_v true_a by_o a_o grand_a jury_n but_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o a_o grand_a jury_n be_v the_o vast_a inequality_n of_o the_o plaintiff_n and_o defendant_n which_o in_o a_o indictment_n be_v always_o between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n and_o that_o do_v not_o hold_v in_o a_o appeal_n which_o be_v always_o between_o subject_a and_o subject_a and_o therefore_o the_o law_n in_o a_o indictment_n have_v give_v a_o privilege_n to_o the_o defendant_n which_o it_o have_v do_v in_o no_o other_o prosecution_n of_o purpose_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o make_v they_o equal_a in_o the_o prosecution_n and_o defence_n that_o equal_a justice_n may_v be_v do_v between_o both_o it_o consider_v the_o judge_n witness_n and_o jury_n be_v more_o likely_a to_o be_v influence_v by_o the_o king_n than_o the_o defendant_n the_o judge_n as_o have_v be_v make_v by_o he_o and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o turn_v they_o out_o punish_v to_o prefer_v or_o reward_v they_o high_o and_o though_o there_o be_v not_o just_a cause_n for_o they_o to_o strain_v the_o law_n yet_o they_o be_v such_o cause_n which_o in_o all_o age_n have_v take_v place_n and_o probable_o always_o will_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o run_a prerogative_n so_o high_a in_o their_o judgement_n of_o high_a treason_n before_o the_o stat._n of_o ed._n iii_o that_o no_o man_n as_o that_o statute_n say_v know_v what_o be_v not_o high_a treason_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o expound_v that_o statute_n oftentimes_o between_o the_o make_n of_o it_o and_o the_o make_v the_o statute_n of_o queen_n mary_n that_o people_n be_v at_o as_o great_a a_o loss_n till_o the_o last_o statute_n as_o they_o be_v before_o the_o make_n of_o the_o first_o and_o even_o since_o the_o statute_n of_o queen_n mary_n the_o exposition_n on_o the_o statute_n of_o ed._n iii_o have_v be_v so_o extravagant_a and_o various_a that_o people_n be_v at_o this_o day_n as_o much_o at_o a_o loss_n to_o know_v what_o be_v not_o high_a treason_n as_o they_o be_v before_o the_o statue_n of_o ed._n 3._o norwas_fw-mi it_o or_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o great_a power_n of_o enrich_v honour_v reward_v and_o punish_v lodge_v in_o the_o king_n but_o that_o it_o always_o have_v and_o yet_o must_v have_v a_o influence_n on_o the_o witness_n and_o jury_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o law_n have_v order_v that_o at_o the_o king_n proscution_n no_o man_n shall_v be_v criminal_o question_v unless_o a_o grand_a jury_n upon_o their_o own_o knowledge_n or_o upon_o the_o evidence_n give_v they_o shall_v give_v a_o verdict_n that_o they_o real_o believe_v the_o accusation_n be_v true_a jow_v of_o
