think_v your_o lordship_n yourself_o do_v take_v it_o to_o be_v yet_o it_o be_v but_o a_o adjournment_n that_o be_v object_v and_o if_o the_o parliament_n be_v but_o under_o a_o adjournment_n i_o will_v not_o have_v trouble_v your_o lordship_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o case_n for_o though_o sometime_o the_o king_n may_v adjourn_v this_o or_o any_o other_o court_n of_o westminster_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o extraordinary_a occasion_n as_o in_o case_n of_o a_o pestilence_n or_o something_o of_o that_o nature_n and_o i_o know_v there_o have_v be_v precedent_n of_o it_o yet_o my_o lord_n these_o be_v upon_o extreordinary_a occasion_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v nay_o i_o be_o very_o certain_a that_o his_o majesty_n will_v never_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o shall_v deprive_v his_o subject_n of_o any_o of_o those_o right_n the_o law_n allow_v they_o so_o that_o in_o one_o case_n the_o law_n oblige_v that_o the_o term_n shall_v be_v keep_v four_o time_n a_o year_n and_o that_o then_o the_o court_n shall_v sit_v if_o there_o be_v not_o extraordinary_a occasion_n to_o hinder_v it_o but_o in_o the_o other_o case_n of_o a_o parliament_n the_o king_n lie_v under_o no_o oblihation_n nor_o restraint_n when_o he_o shall_v call_v or_o whether_o he_o will_v call_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o inequality_n of_o the_o comparison_n be_v sufficient_o apparent_a and_o beside_o this_o it_o be_v as_o unknown_a how_o long_o a_o parliament_n shall_v sit_v as_o when_o it_o be_v to_o sit_v insomuch_o that_o i_o take_v all_o this_o but_o to_o have_v offer_v additional_a argument_n on_o my_o s●de_n &_o show_v how_o little_a the_o argument_n be_v that_o can_v be_v bring_v against_o i_o &_o i_o think_v it_o make_v out_o to_o i_o and_o to_o all_o english_a man_n that_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o lie_v under_o such_o a_o indefinite_a restraint_n as_o i_o do_v and_o true_o my_o lord_n i_o think_v i_o show_v more_o respect_n to_o the_o court_n in_o give_v a_o more_o general_a answer_n to_o this_o objection_n as_o i_o do_v before_o than_o i_o can_v do_v now_o by_o be_v so_o particular_a for_o the_o second_o objection_n viz._n that_o i_o be_o not_o indefinite_o imprison_v for_o that_o when_o the_o king_n will_v please_v to_o call_v a_o parliament_n i_o will_v have_v a_o remedy_n there_o and_o therefore_o i_o must_v wait_v till_o the_o king_n will_v call_v a_o parliament_n true_o my_o lord_n perhaps_o your_o lordship_n may_v know_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o king_n or_o his_o minister_n better_a than_o i_o do_v but_o if_o you_o do_v not_o i_o be_o sure_a no_o man_n but_o the_o king_n can_v tell_v whether_o i_o shall_v have_v remedy_n then_o or_o no_o for_o by_o the_o experience_n of_o three_o parliament_n that_o have_v be_v call_v since_o i_o be_v a_o prisoner_n it_o have_v appear_v that_o i_o have_v have_v no_o remedy_n therefore_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o glad_a to_o see_v this_o matter_n any_o better_o prove_v than_o it_o have_v be_v that_o i_o be_o not_o indefinite_o imprison_v but_o if_o this_o can_v be_v prove_v neither_o but_o that_o i_o must_v wait_v till_o the_o king_n shall_v please_v to_o call_v a_o parliament_n and_o when_o he_o shall_v call_v a_o parliament_n i_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o certain_a of_o my_o remedy_n than_o hitherto_o i_o have_v be_v true_o than_o i_o shall_v need_v no_o other_o council_n but_o your_o lordship_n to_o prove_v i_o be_o under_o a_o indefinite_a imprisonment_n and_o that_o any_o man_n in_o england_n may_v be_v so_o when_o the_o king_n please_v and_o how_o any_o doctrine_n can_v be_v more_o arbitrary_a than_o that_o or_o less_o to_o be_v desended_a by_o law_n when_o ever_o that_o matter_n shall_v be_v bring_v into_o question_n other_o then_o either_o your_o lordship_n or_o i_o must_v be_v judge_n and_o those_o who_o will_v be_v party_n so_o much_o concern_v in_o this_o question_n for_o their_o own_o sake_n as_o well_o as_o the_o public_a that_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v small_a doubt_n to_o be_v make_v how_o they_o will_v then_o decide_v this_o question_n my_o lord_n if_o it_o shall_v then_o be_v find_v that_o this_o will_v hold_v water_n and_o shall_v be_v maintain_v for_o good_a doctrine_n true_o i_o think_v there_o will_v need_v no_o other_o arbitrary_a power_n to_o be_v set_v up_o to_o make_v man_n quit_v this_o country_n for_o as_o to_o any_o man_n liberty_n it_o may_v be_v equal_a to_o he_o whether_o he_o live_v under_o the_o french_a government_n or_o under_o the_o grand_a signior_n government_n as_o under_o a_o government_n so_o arbitrary_a as_o this_o doctrine_n alone_o will_v make_v we_o and_o therefore_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n my_o lord_n but_o that_o you_o will_v be_v very_o careful_a how_o you_o give_v it_o we_o for_o law_n as_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o sorry_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o such_o arbitrary_a doctrine_n teach_v to_o set_v the_o king_n prerogative_n high_o or_o great_a than_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v by_o law_n or_o then_o this_o king_n desire_v so_o i_o shall_v be_v as_o sorry_a that_o the_o king_n shall_v not_o have_v that_o right_n which_o due_o belong_v to_o he_o which_o be_v a_o right_n and_o power_n at_o all_o time_n to_o administer_v justice_n to_o his_o subject_n and_o which_o i_o never_o hear_v deny_v to_o the_o king_n of_o england_n nor_o i_o hope_v i_o never_o shall_v and_o my_o lord_n i_o must_v say_v that_o the_o preservation_n of_o that_o right_n to_o the_o king_n will_v take_v away_o all_o pretence_n for_o any_o of_o these_o dangerous_a and_o new_a doctrine_n for_o if_o the_o king_n may_v administer_v justice_n at_o all_o time_n to_o his_o subject_n as_o it_o have_v be_v the_o care_n of_o parliament_n and_o by_o magna_fw-la charta_n itself_o that_o he_o shall_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n leave_v for_o any_o of_o those_o thing_n to_o be_v start_v or_o put_v upon_o we_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o the_o king_n can_v make_v law_n without_o a_o parliament_n but_o i_o do_v never_o hear_v in_o my_o whole_a life_n but_o that_o he_o can_v administer_v justice_n without_o his_o parliament_n and_o if_o he_o can_v not_o his_o subject_n will_v be_v in_o a_o miserable_a condition_n for_o sure_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a hard_a case_n if_o his_o subject_n can_v have_v no_o hope_n of_o be_v right_v by_o their_o sovereign_n authority_n either_o by_o himself_o or_o in_o his_o court_n in_o all_o case_n and_o at_o all_o time_n the_o house_n of_o peer_n in_o parliament_n it_o be_v true_a be_v his_o great_a court_n but_o they_o sit_v only_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o king_n be_v write_v and_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v die_v which_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v never_o live_v to_o see_v they_o will_v not_o then_o be_v a_o court_n of_o justice_n nor_o any_o court_n at_o all_o and_o therefore_o my_o lord_n in_o this_o question_n the_o royal_a authority_n and_o the_o subject_n liberty_n be_v so_o involve_v that_o what_o judgement_n soever_o shall_v be_v give_v must_v pass_v upon_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o upon_o the_o other_o and_o can_v possible_o be_v divide_v the_o three_o objection_n that_o be_v make_v be_v that_o this_o cause_n of_o i_o be_v depend_v in_o parliament_n which_o be_v a_o superior_a court_n to_o this_o and_o that_o the_o supreme_a court_n have_v lay_v its_o hand_n upon_o i_o therefore_o this_o court_n can_v intermeddle_v my_o lord_n there_o be_v no_o man_n live_v that_o have_v a_o great_a reverence_n for_o that_o supreme_a court_n than_o i_o have_v or_o that_o will_v go_v further_o than_o i_o will_v to_o defend_v it_o in_o all_o the_o right_n and_o privilege_n that_o belong_v to_o it_o by_o law_n nay_o my_o lord_n i_o have_v so_o much_o a_o great_a esteem_n for_o that_o court_n because_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o will_v neither_o suffer_v i_o nor_o any_o man_n live_v to_o go_v unpunished_a that_o shall_v transgress_v the_o law_n or_o that_o shall_v go_v about_o any_o way_n to_o make_v they_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n or_o to_o make_v they_o such_o as_o will_v be_v restrainer_n of_o the_o english_a liberty_n beyond_o what_o the_o law_n permit_v they_o have_v show_v the_o contrary_a when_o it_o be_v offer_v to_o they_o by_o a_o bill_n from_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o that_o they_o will_v have_v no_o such_o absolute_a authority_n put_v into_o their_o hand_n over_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a but_o do_v then_o refuse_v it_o so_o that_o to_o say_v that_o supreme_a court_n have_v lay_v its_o hand_n upon_o any_o man_n liberty_n in_o england_n further_a than_o the_o law_n permit_v will_v be_v to_o put_v a_o unjust_a odium_n upon_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n to_o the_o nation_n instead_o of_o do_v they_o right_o and_o therefore_o i_o must_v needs_o

the_o order_n of_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n be_v revoke_v or_o not_o for_o it_o be_v a_o order_n of_o a_o superior_a court_n which_o will_v still_o be_v a_o superior_a court_n though_o the_o order_n be_v burn_v and_o yet_o that_o must_v be_v enough_o to_o keep_v one_o in_o prison_n by_o this_o rule_n for_o that_o there_o will_v still_o be_v no_o other_o remedy_n though_o the_o order_n be_v repeal_v but_o my_o lord_n the_o warrant_n of_o commitment_n show_v the_o lord_n direction_n to_o be_v contrary_a to_o this_o opinion_n for_o i_o can_v show_v several_a instance_n of_o warrant_n which_o run_v some_o to_o be_v keep_v till_o further_a order_n of_o that_o house_n other_o to_o be_v keep_v till_o they_o shall_v be_v discharge_v by_o the_o house_n and_o other_o to_o be_v keep_v till_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o house_n be_v further_o signify_v and_o other_o during_o the_o pleasure_n of_o that_o house_n but_o my_o warrant_n be_v till_o i_o be_o discharge_v by_o due_a course_n of_o law_n now_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v think_v those_o word_n have_v not_o give_v a_o latitude_n for_o relief_n elsewhere_o they_o will_v have_v word_v the_o warrant_n otherwise_o and_o instead_o of_o say_v by_o due_a course_n of_o law_n will_v have_v say_v till_o i_o be_v discharge_v by_o that_o house_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v think_v there_o have_v be_v no_o other_o remedy_n by_o law_n but_o by_o that_o house_n but_o my_o lord_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o act_v any_o thing_n above_o the_o law_n they_o will_v keep_v every_o thing_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o law_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o better_a example_n to_o follow_v than_o the_o example_n of_o those_o wise_a and_o great_a man_n of_o that_o great_a court_n and_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v follow_v and_o not_o contradict_v for_o by_o this_o doctrine_n true_o my_o lord_n liberty_n itself_o will_v not_o only_o be_v utter_o lose_v but_o to_o make_v the_o riddle_n the_o great_a and_o the_o manner_n more_o ridiculous_a it_o will_v be_v lose_v and_o yet_o no_o body_n invade_v it_o for_o the_o king_n he_o consent_v to_o my_o bail_n if_o he_o have_v any_o power_n so_o he_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o deprive_v i_o of_o my_o liberty_n the_o lord_n will_v for_o their_o own_o sake_n and_o justice_n sake_n if_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o meet_v and_o have_v time_n to_o sit_v so_o long_o as_o to_o take_v the_o case_n of_o a_o single_a person_n into_o consideration_n do_v i_o justice_n either_o in_o discharge_v or_o try_v i_o so_o that_o in_o my_o case_n here_o be_v a_o subject_a of_o england_n imprison_v by_o no_o body_n and_o yet_o no_o power_n upon_o earth_n can_v relieve_v i_o show_v i_o a_o example_n of_o this_o in_o any_o nation_n under_o the_o sun_n but_o this_o that_o there_o want_v a_o power_n in_o the_o government_n to_o relieve_v a_o prisoner_n at_o all_o time_n if_o it_o will_v and_o i_o will_v be_v satisfy_v nay_o my_o lord_n the_o very_a spanish_a inquisition_n be_v more_o reasonable_a than_o this_o for_o though_o the_o cause_n may_v be_v unjust_a that_o they_o commit_v a_o man_n for_o and_o their_o usage_n of_o he_o may_v be_v very_o severe_a while_o he_o be_v there_o yet_o the_o inquisitor_n if_o they_o please_v can_v deliver_v he_o there_o be_v no_o prisoner_n in_o the_o world_n but_o can_v be_v deliver_v by_o some_o power_n or_o other_o but_o i_o and_o my_o lord_n this_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o must_v be_v for_o every_o man_n in_o england_n as_o well_o as_o i_o and_o i_o be_o not_o so_o inconsiderable_a but_o that_o my_o fate_n may_v be_v make_v a_o precedent_n of_o note_n the_o opinion_n my_o lord_n that_o be_v give_v by_o the_o judge_n in_o the_o case_n of_o ship-money_n appear_v far_o more_o tolerable_a in_o my_o opinion_n than_o this_o for_o i_o know_v there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o have_v rather_o have_v a_o sentence_n pass_v against_o his_o estate_n which_o he_o may_v recover_v again_o than_o have_v it_o pass_v against_o his_o liberty_n which_o he_o may_v never_o have_v and_o which_o be_v more_o valuable_a than_o any_o estate_n beside_o where_o be_v the_o justice_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o what_o a_o shame_n will_v it_o be_v to_o our_o law_n and_o to_o our_o government_n that_o it_o can_v be_v say_v of_o this_o country_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v punish_v by_o imprisonment_n in_o england_n where_o the_o government_n be_v not_o arbitrary_a for_o seven_o year_n or_o more_o and_o at_o last_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o no_o offence_n and_o what_o satisfaction_n can_v be_v in_o nature_n give_v to_o that_o man_n i_o say_v if_o that_o man_n can_v have_v a_o crown_n give_v he_o it_o can_v not_o make_v he_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o liberty_n all_o his_o life_n which_o may_v be_v the_o consequence_n of_o this_o doctrine_n and_o my_o lord_n there_o be_v precedent_n good_a store_n where_o man_n have_v suffer_v sufficient_o for_o their_o judgement_n against_o the_o liberty_n and_o property_n of_o the_o subject_a but_o i_o never_o find_v one_o that_o suffer_v in_o the_o defence_n either_o of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o i_o have_v show_v i_o think_v sufficient_o what_o can_v be_v mean_v either_o in_o my_o case_n or_o any_o other_o by_o a_o cause_n depend_v in_o parliament_n when_o there_o be_v no_o parliament_n as_o also_o how_o much_o inferior_a court_n do_v meddle_v with_o thing_n of_o much_o a_o high_a nature_n than_o bail_n will_v be_v insomuch_o that_o true_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o say_v no_o more_o than_o i_o have_v say_v but_o i_o do_v not_o know_v what_o may_v be_v sufficient_a in_o my_o case_n and_o therefore_o my_o lord_n you_o must_v pardon_v i_o if_o i_o do_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o case_n wherein_o you_o have_v go_v to_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n itself_o when_o depend_v in_o parliament_n it_o be_v fitz-harris_n his_o case_n and_o i_o know_v very_o well_o what_o answer_n will_v be_v give_v i_o as_o that_o that_o be_v a_o case_n reject_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o same_o treason_n for_o which_o he_o be_v impeach_v and_o other_o thing_n that_o i_o can_v mention_v but_o i_o know_v your_o lordship_n will_v speak_v by_o the_o record_n of_o the_o court_n of_o which_o i_o have_v here_o a_o copy_n and_o the_o record_n be_v that_o which_o must_v satisfy_v the_o world_n a_o hundred_o year_n hence_o by_o which_o it_o will_v appear_v to_o they_o that_o he_o be_v impeach_v and_o try_v and_o

allow_v and_o this_o be_v so_o i_o shall_v think_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o scruple_n make_v in_o the_o point_n of_o bail_n or_o if_o there_o shall_v there_o must_v certain_o be_v very_o great_a hardship_n in_o one_o case_n or_o the_o other_o and_o must_v be_v very_o dissicult_a to_o be_v answer_v but_o to_o conclude_v beside_o all_o this_o i_o be_o the_o king_n prisoner_n and_o i_o have_v the_o king_n pardon_n and_o if_o i_o can_v get_v to_o be_v bail_v there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o defect_n of_o jurisdiction_n in_o this_o court_n but_o a_o defect_n of_o the_o regal_a authority_n and_o
