then_o take_v as_o introductive_a of_o a_o new_a law_n the_o statute_n of_o h._n 5._o i_o be_o of_o the_o mind_n that_o this_o statute_n of_o h._n 5._o peradventure_o may_v extend_v to_o treason_n and_o felony_n but_o when_o the_o statute_n of_o queen_n mary_n come_v and_o say_v all_o trial_n shall_v be_v by_o such_o evidence_n and_o in_o such_o manner_n as_o by_o common_a law_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o make_v a_o objection_n afterward_o of_o this_o nature_n for_o admit_v this_o act_n of_o parliament_n of_o h._n 5._o have_v alter_v the_o common_a law_n and_o give_v a_o challenge_n why_o then_o when_o the_o statute_n of_o queen_n mary_n come_v and_o set_v all_o trial_n at_o large_a in_o the_o case_n of_o treason_n then_o certain_o the_o challenge_n be_v go_v again_o and_o i_o doubt_v you_o will_v not_o find_v one_o exception_n in_o this_o case_n ever_o since_o that_o statute_n concern_v the_o jurys_n freehold_n in_o

that_o it_o have_v be_v so_o at_o common_a law_n there_o have_v be_v much_o say_v but_o i_o take_v it_o at_o common_a law_n there_o be_v no_o challenge_n for_o want_v of_o freehold_n and_o i_o be_o

at_o common_a law_n lack_v of_o freehold_n no_o good_a cause_n of_o challenge_n it_o be_v true_a that_o challenge_n be_v give_v in_o some_o case_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n yet_o i_o doubt_v whether_o it_o extend_v to_o a_o thing_n of_o so_o high_a nature_n as_o treason_n for_o other_o statute_n have_v not_o mention_v any_o thing_n of_o treason_n but_o suppose_v 2._o h._n 5._o do_v extend_v to_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a the_o statute_n of_o 1._o and_o 2._o queen_n mary_n have_v set_v all_o at_o large_a again_o they_o be_v to_o be_v good_a and_o lawful_a man_n and_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n must_v be_v the_o freehold_a and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v this_o be_v no_o just_a exception_n in_o this_o case_n mr._n just._n

case_n of_o treason_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o at_o the_o common_a law_n a_o man_n that_o be_v indict_v of_o high_a treason_n have_v liberty_n to_o challenge_n peremptory_o to_o the_o number_n of_o 35._o person_n my_o lord_n if_o the_o common_a law_n be_v alter_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o h._n 5._o yet_o i_o take_v it_o that_o the_o statute_n of_o 1._o and_o 2._o ph._n and_o m._n do_v restore_v the_o common_a law_n in_o this_o particular_a point_n for_o whereas_o there_o be_v a_o statue_n of_o h._n 8._o to_o restrain_v the_o prisoner_n to_o the_o number_n of_o 20_o for_o his_o challenge_n now_o the_o statute_n restore_v it_o to_o common_a law_n the_o prisoner_n have_v his_o challenge_n to_o 35_o as_o he_o have_v before_o that_o statute_n of_o h._n 8._o so_o i_o take_v it_o the_o king_n shall_v have_v his_o privilege_n also_o to_o try_v a_o prisoner_n for_o treason_n by_o person_n that_o have_v not_o freehold_a mr._n just._n charlton_n i_o be_o of_o the_o same_o

many_o will_v have_v make_v use_n of_o it_o mr._n just._n levins_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v allow_v i_o do_v not_o think_v myself_o drive_v to_o the_o necessity_n to_o determine_v now_o whether_o freehold_n be_v a_o good_a challenge_n at_o common_a law_n in_o point_n of_o treason_n i_o think_v the_o statute_n of_o ph._n and_o m._n have_v restore_v the_o trial_n to_o the_o common_a law_n what_o be_v the_o common_a law_n the_o common_a law_n be_v the_o custom_n of_o england_n which_o be_v other_o in_o city_n than_o in_o country_n and_o the_o custom_n of_o london_n be_v part_n of_o that_o common_a law_n so_o though_o it_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o challenge_n in_o a_o county_n at_o large_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o cause_n of_o challenge_n in_o city_n where_o
