especial_o that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o reign_n or_o government_n within_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n wherein_o such_o indulgence_n such_o easiness_n of_o temper_n have_v be_v show_v from_o the_o

warrant_v the_o appear_v of_o council_n for_o person_n accuse_v to_o make_v defence_n for_o they_o we_o hope_v your_o lordship_n will_v give_v we_o leave_v to_o make_v what_o objection_n we_o can_v

require_v that_o all_o that_o shall_v be_v accuse_v and_o indict_v for_o high-treason_n whereby_o any_o corruption_n of_o blood_n may_v or_o shall_v be_v make_v to_o any_o such_o offender_n or_o

of_o they_o so_o accuse_v and_o indict_v respective_o two_o day_n at_o the_o least_o before_o he_o or_o they_o shall_v be_v try_v for_o the_o same_o now_o if_o your_o lordship_n will_v please_v to_o cast_v your_o eye_n upon_o this_o venire_fw-la facias_fw-la and_o it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v return_v but_o this_o day_n and_o that_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o intent_n of_o this_o law_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a then_o if_o it_o be_v as_o we_o apprehend_v it_o and_o put_v it_o that_o this_o trial_n shall_v go_v on_o at_o this_o time_n and_o that_o this_o construction_n shall_v be_v so_o as_o we_o say_v not_o only_o the_o word_n but_o as_o we_o take_v it_o the_o intent_n and_o mean_v of_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n too_o be_v for_o we_o that_o there_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n after_o the_o return_v two_o day_n before_o the_o trial_n for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n my_o lord_n the_o word_n be_v plain_a it_o must_v be_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n due_o return_v by_o the_o sheriff_n now_o though_o it_o be_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o array_n of_o the_o panel_n which_o we_o have_v deliver_v to_o we_o you_o it_o be_v not_o a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n of_o the_o juror_n return_v for_o it_o be_v no_o return_n till_o it_o come_v into_o court_n and_o the_o king_n council_n must_v admit_v that_o in_o the_o case_n of_o all_o writ_n returnable_a it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o return_n where_o there_o be_v a_o write_n upon_o the_o back_n or_o a_o label_n annex_v till_o it_o be_v actual_o return_v into_o court_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o fieri_fw-la facias_fw-la or_o a_o mandamus_fw-la a_o action_n for_o a_o false_a return_n can_v lie_v till_o the_o writ_n be_v actual_o return_v for_o such_o action_n must_v be_v bring_v into_o the_o county_n of_o middlesex_n where_o the_o court_n reside_v before_o who_o the_o return_n be_v make_v and_o not_o in_o the_o county_n where_o the_o sheriff_n live_v that_o make_v the_o return_n for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o return_n till_o file_v in_o court_n now_o here_o the_o word_n of_o the_o act_n be_v he_o shall_v have_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n of_o the_o juror_n who_o be_v to_o try_v he_o due_o return_v by_o the_o sheriff_n two_o day_n before_o the_o trial_n now_o we_o humble_o insist_v that_o the_o word_n due_o return_v must_v be_v antecedent_n to_o the_o have_v the_o copy_n or_o else_o he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n due_o return_v the_o act_n of_o parliament_n do_v not_o say_v which_o shall_v be_v due_o return_v and_o therefore_o there_o do_v arise_v a_o doubt_n whether_o your_o lordship_n will_v not_o direct_v we_o to_o have_v a_o copy_n after_o the_o return_v make_v which_o be_v but_o this_o day_n mr._n phipps_n if_o your_o lordship_n please_v to_o spare_v i_o a_o word_n of_o the_o same_o side_n we_o take_v it_o that_o by_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n the_o jury_n must_v be_v due_o return_v before_o the_o panel_n be_v deliver_v to_o we_o now_o the_o return_n be_v the_o answer_n that_o be_v indorsed_n upon_o the_o writ_n with_o the_o panel_n annex_v and_o deliver_v into_o court_n
