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

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

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

make_v against_o my_o be_v bail_v may_v be_v sum_v up_o under_o these_o three_o head_n the_o first_o my_o lord_n as_o well_o as_o my_o memory_n will_v serve_v i_o be_v that_o as_o it_o be_v incongruous_a for_o a_o court_n which_o be_v inferior_a to_o this_o to_o bail_v any_o man_n that_o be_v commit_v by_o this_o court_n or_o to_o call_v in_o question_n the_o process_n of_o this_o court_n so_o it_o will_v likewise_o be_v for_o this_o court_n to_o do_v in_o my_o case_n for_o that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v commit_v by_o this_o court_n no_o inferior_a court_n can_v bail_v that_o man_n in_o case_n his_o majesty_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o adjourn_v this_o court_n from_o time_n to_o time_n until_o this_o court_n shall_v sit_v again_o the_o second_o objection_n be_v that_o i_o be_o not_o indefinite_o imprison_v for_o that_o when_o his_o majesty_n shall_v please_v to_o call_v a_o parliament_n i_o will_v have_v remedy_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v wait_v till_o his_o majesty_n shall_v please_v to_o call_v a_o parliament_n the_o three_o be_v that_o this_o cause_n of_o i_o be_v depend_v in_o a_o superior_a court_n which_o be_v too_o big_a for_o this_o court_n 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 not_o intermeddle_v in_o that_o matter_n my_o lord_n these_o to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o remembrance_n be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o objection_n then_o make_v the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o have_v be_v tell_v without_o door_n be_v take_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o weighty_a objection_n against_o i_o and_o true_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o glad_a it_o shall_v prove_v so_o because_o i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v so_o easy_o answer_v for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o to_o the_o call_n in_o question_n the_o process_n i_o conceive_v that_o bail_n be_v no_o call_n in_o question_n any_o process_n and_o this_o court_n do_v sure_o think_v so_o when_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o shaftsbury_n they_o do_v declare_v that_o have_v he_o not_o come_v to_o they_o in_o the_o time_n of_o a_o adjournment_n of_o parliament_n they_o will_v have_v bail_v he_o and_o my_o lord_n as_o nothing_o be_v more_o evident_a then_o that_o this_o court_n and_o other_o court_n do_v meddle_v with_o the_o proceed_n of_o that_o superior_a court_n so_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o to_o make_v appear_v that_o they_o do_v meddle_v in_o a_o much_o great_a degree_n than_o what_o i_o desire_v of_o bail_n and_o that_o the_o consequence_n of_o what_o they_o do_v every_o day_n practice_n may_v be_v far_o more_o dangerous_a to_o the_o subject_a than_o the_o bail_n of_o i_o can_v be_v for_o that_o part_n of_o the_o objection_n that_o compare_v a_o commitment_n of_o this_o court_n to_o a_o commitment_n of_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o do_v from_o thence_o conclude_v that_o because_o a_o inferior_a court_n to_o this_o can_v bail_v a_o man_n who_o be_v commit_v by_o this_o court_n therefore_o this_o court_n can_v bail_v a_o man_n who_o be_v commit_v by_o a_o superior_a court_n this_o seem_v so_o very_o unequal_a a_o comparison_n and_o the_o inequality_n of_o it_o so_o obvious_a that_o true_o i_o think_v it_o have_v not_o need_v any_o answer_n for_o i_o will_v desire_v no_o other_o answer_n from_o your_o lordship_n if_o you_o can_v give_v it_o i_o than_o what_o a_o inferior_a court_n may_v give_v to_o any_o person_n that_o shall_v come_v before_o they_o with_o the_o like_a request_n for_o they_o may_v give_v he_o good_a and_o sufficient_a reason_n why_o they_o do_v not_o

relief_n but_o they_o can_v give_v he_o good_a reason_n why_o he_o must_v do_v so_o for_o they_o can_v tell_v he_o that_o the_o court_n of_o kings-bench_n will_v sit_v next_o term_n they_o can_v tell_v he_o when_o that_o term_n will_v begin_v and_o they_o can_v tell_v he_o how_o long_o that_o term_n will_v last_v and_o they_o can_v tell_v he_o that_o the_o court_n of_o kings-bench_n can_v be_v dissolve_v as_o the_o parliament_n may_v be_v and_o my_o lord_n this_o take_v away_o all_o that_o prisoner_n pretence_n to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o indefinite_a prisoner_n and_o if_o your_o lordship_n can_v give_v i_o any_o such_o answer_n as_o these_o i_o shall_v be_v as_o well_o satisfy_v as_o that_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v but_o if_o no_o such_o certain_a answer_n as_o these_o can_v
