therefore_o it_o be_v insufficient_a i_o will_v add_v one_o reason_n as_o have_v be_v say_v the_o habeas_fw-la corpus_fw-la have_v only_o these_o word_n quod_fw-la habeas_fw-la corpus_fw-la ejus_fw-la una_fw-la cum_fw-la causa_fw-la detensionis_fw-la &_o non_fw-la captionis_fw-la but_o my_o lord_n because_o in_o all_o imprisonment_n there_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o caption_n and_o detention_n the_o caption_n be_v to_o be_v answer_v as_o well_o as_o the_o detention_n i_o have_v see_v many_o writ_n of_o this_o nature_n and_o on_o they_o the_o caption_n be_v return_v that_o they_o may_v see_v the_o

exception_n i_o take_v to_o the_o form_n be_v that_o there_o be_v much_o incertainty_n in_o it_o so_o that_o no_o man_n can_v tell_v when_o the_o writ_n come_v to_o the_o keeper_n of_o the_o prison_n whether_o before_o the_o return_n or_o after_o for_o it_o appear_v not_o when_o the_o king_n command_n be_v for_o the_o commitment_n or_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o council_n come_v to_o he_o it_o be_v true_a that_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o warrant_n be_v date_v the_o seven_o of_o november_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o keeper_n of_o the_o prison_n that_o appear_v not_o at_o all_o

be_v faulty_a in_o form_n and_o void_a and_o for_o apparent_a contradiction_n also_o the_o return_n be_v insufficient_a for_o that_o part_n of_o the_o return_n which_o be_v before_o the_o warrant_n it_o be_v say_v quod_fw-la detentus_fw-la est_fw-la per_fw-la speciale_a mandatum_fw-la domini_fw-la regis_fw-la the_o warrant_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n the_o very_a syllable_n of_o
