no_o more_o time_n but_o to_o give_v a_o positive_a answer_n thereunto_o the_o king_n when_o i_o be_v here_o last_o it_o be_v very_o true_a i_o make_v that_o question_n and_o true_o if_o it_o be_v only_o my_o own_o particular_a case_n i_o will_v have_v satisfy_v myself_o with_o the_o protestation_n i_o make_v the_o last_o time_n i_o be_v here_o against_o the_o legality_n of_o this_o court_n and_o that_o a_o king_n can_v be_v try_v by_o any_o superior_a jurisdiction_n on_o earth_n but_o it_o be_v not_o my_o case_n alone_o it_o be_v the_o freedom_n and_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n of_o england_n and_o do_v you_o pretend_v what_o you_o will_v i_o stand_v more_o for_o their_o liberty_n for_o if_o power_n without_o law_n may_v make_v law_n may_v alter_v the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n i_o do_v not_o know_v what_o subject_n he_o be_v in_o england_n that_o can_v be_v sure_a of_o his_o life_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o call_v his_o own_o therefore_o when_o that_o i_o come_v here_o i_o do_v expect_v particular_a reason_n to_o know_v by_o what_o law_n what_o authority_n you_o do_v proceed_v against_o i_o here_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_o a_o little_a to_o
