council_n of_o the_o say_a fountain_n do_v insist_v on_o the_o say_a order_n before_o the_o baron_n that_o the_o house_n be_v possess_v of_o mr._n fountain_n cause_n and_o security_n have_v be_v give_v by_o he_o to_o abide_v the_o order_n of_o the_o house_n that_o no_o proceed_n ought_v to_o be_v have_v in_o the_o exchequer_n upon_o the_o say_a decree_n until_o the_o matter_n on_o the_o appeal_n be_v determine_v before_o the_o lord_n notwithstanding_o which_v and_o that_o mr._n fountain_n produce_v the_o lord_n order_n in_o court_n and_o produce_v the_o security_n allow_v yet_o the_o now_o baron_n declare_v and_o order_v that_o the_o decree_n by_o they_o make_v shall_v be_v proceed_v on_o against_o the_o say_a fountain_n in_o the_o court_n of_o exchequer_n and_o a_o proceed_n have_v be_v have_v according_o by_o all_o which_o he_o observe_v that_o the_o inferior_a court_n do_v proceed_v upon_o matter_n forbid_v as_o much_o by_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o appeal_n and_o writ_n of_o error_n as_o it_o be_v upon_o impeachment_n and_o yet_o that_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a why_o they_o do_v so_o for_o that_o the_o parliament_n may_v proceed_v again_o upon_o the_o same_o appeal_v and_o writ_n of_o error_n notwithstanding_o those_o proceed_n in_o the_o inferior_a court_n in_o the_o interval_n of_o parliament_n for_o that_o none_o of_o those_o act_n of_o the_o inferior_a court_n do_v so_o hinder_v the_o proceed_n of_o the_o superior_a but_o that_o the_o plaintiff_n in_o parliament_n may_v revive_v the_o same_o matter_n there_o again_o by_o scire_fw-la facias_fw-la or_o by_o re-summons_n etc._n etc._n but_o he_o say_v it_o be_v never_o hear_v of_o that_o the_o lord_n themselves_o do_v proceed_v again_o exit_fw-la officio_fw-la without_o the_o petition_n of_o the_o party_n to_o revive_v the_o cause_n and_o so_o he_o say_v in_o the_o case_n of_o impeachment_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v no_o more_o proceed_v exit_fw-la officio_fw-la upon_o that_o neither_o unless_o they_o be_v call_v upon_o by_o the_o prosecutor_n and_o then_o their_o lordship_n proceed_n upon_o the_o impeachment_n will_v be_v no_o more_o hinder_v by_o the_o bail_n of_o he_o in_o the_o inferior_a court_n than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o other_o case_n by_o the_o execution_n and_o sequestration_n which_o be_v grant_v in_o the_o interval_n of_o parliament_n which_o be_v for_o the_o the_o prevention_n both_o of_o delay_n and_o of_o failure_n of_o justice_n beside_o he_o say_v if_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v do_v how_o can_v it_o be_v know_v whether_o the_o prosecutor_n of_o a_o impeachment_n from_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o who_o be_v never_o the_o same_o man_n in_o a_o new_a parliament_n will_v proceed_v any_o more_o upon_o a_o former_a impeachment_n for_o he_o say_v it_o have_v many_o time_n fall_v out_o otherwise_o and_o he_o cite_v a_o late_a case_n of_o the_o lord_n mordant_n who_o be_v impeach_v upon_o article_n in_o one_o session_n and_o have_v take_v out_o a_o pardon_n during_o the_o prorogation_n be_v never_o more_o call_v upon_o nor_o never_o question_v upon_o the_o former_a impeachment_n although_o the_o very_a same_o parliament_n sit_v again_o which_o have_v impeach_v he_o and_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o the_o case_n may_v more_o probable_o happen_v to_o fall_v out_o so_o when_o a_o new_a parliament_n shall_v meet_v again_o which_o will_v consist_v of_o new_a men._n he_o say_v it_o be_v likewise_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o although_o the_o transcript_n of_o the_o record_n in_o a_o writ_n of_o error_n may_v have_v day_n of_o continuance_n yet_o no_o supersedeas_fw-la be_v grantable_a and_o he_o say_v that_o if_o the_o lord_n order_v be_v no_o ground_n for_o a_o supersedeas_fw-la on_o a_o writ_n of_o error_n why_o the_o lie_a of_o a_o impeachment_n shall_v be_v a_o ground_n for_o confine_v a_o man_n within_o four_o wall_n all_o his_o life_n he_o be_v sure_o must_v be_v both_o less_o reasonable_a and_o less_o just_a as_o liberty_n be_v more_o valluable_a than_o property_n and_o without_o which_o property_n can_v be_v of_o no_o comfort_n in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o observe_v that_o if_o the_o order_n shall_v be_v continue_v literal_o to_o mean_v that_o the_o impeachment_n as_o well_o as_o the_o appeal_v and_o writ_n of_o error_n and_o the_o incident_n relate_v to_o all_o of_o they_o shall_v remain_v in_o the_o same_o state_n they_o be_v at_o the_o dissolution_n of_o that_o parliament_n mention_v in_o the_o say_a order_n his_o case_n thereupon_o he_o say_v will_v be_v quite_o different_a from_o any_o other_o for_o that_o he_o be_v not_o under_o any_o commitment_n at_o the_o dissolution_n of_o that_o parliament_n nor_o at_o the_o time_n when_o that_o order_n be_v make_v but_o be_v then_o at_o liberty_n to_o be_v a_o sit_v member_n of_o that_o house_n and_o by_o a_o vote_n of_o the_o house_n have_v leave_v to_o continue_v so_o for_o that_o as_o he_o have_v already_o observe_v the_o date_n of_o the_o order_n be_v the_o 19_o of_o march_n 1678._o and_o the_o warrant_n of_o his_o commitment_n do_v appear_v by_o the_o return_n before_o the_o court_n to_o be_v the_o 16_o of_o april_n follow_v insomuch_o that_o he_o desire_v the_o court_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o strict_a letter_n of_o the_o word_n statu_fw-la quo_fw-la in_o the_o order_n compare_v with_o the_o time_n when_o the_o say_a order_n be_v make_v will_v be_v a_o argument_n to_o set_v he_o in_o a_o state_n of_o liberty_n as_o he_o then_o be_v he_o then_o tell_v the_o court_n that_o by_o what_o he_o have_v say_v he_o hope_v he_o have_v make_v appear_v that_o the_o order_n do_v not_o afford_v the_o least_o shadow_n for_o the_o hinder_v of_o his_o be_v bail_v but_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o reason_n be_v much_o strong_a for_o the_o do_v of_o that_o as_o it_o relate_v not_o only_o to_o he_o but_o to_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a in_o general_n then_o for_o the_o proceed_n which_o the_o inferior_a court_n do_v daily_a practice_n upon_o appeal_n and_o writ_n of_o error_n which_o be_v but_o for_o property_n and_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o same_o order_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o he_o hope_v he_o shall_v at_o least_o find_v the_o same_o favour_n in_o a_o case_n of_o liberty_n which_o be_v allow_v every_o day_n in_o case_n of_o lesser_a moment_n he_o then_o say_v that_o although_o it_o do_v not_o concern_v his_o particular_a case_n yet_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o english_a liberty_n itself_o he_o can_v not_o but_o say_v something_o further_o upon_o this_o point_n for_o he_o can_v not_o but_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o if_o the_o order_n have_v direct_o forbid_v bail_n which_o it_o be_v far_o from_o do_v and_o beside_o the_o lord_n own_o practice_n have_v show_v their_o meaning_n to_o the_o contrary_a by_o the_o bail_n of_o a_o commonnor_n who_o crime_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v great_a than_o he_o and_o in_o which_o case_n they_o make_v not_o non_fw-la obstante_fw-la to_o their_o order_n but_o take_v that_o to_o be_v still_o in_o the_o same_o force_n towards_o he_o as_o towards_o any_o other_o who_o be_v in_o custody_n yet_o he_o say_v in_o that_o case_n if_o such_o a_o order_n shall_v be_v find_v to_o be_v against_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la and_o the_o fundamental_a right_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a as_o any_o thing_n must_v be_v which_o do_v subject_a any_o man_n to_o a_o indefinite_a imprisonment_n he_o conceive_v that_o of_o right_o that_o court_n ought_v to_o free_v any_o man_n from_o such_o a_o slavery_n for_o he_o say_v he_o can_v give_v it_o no_o better_o a_o name_n and_o he_o then_o cite_v a_o argument_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o shaftsburye_n upon_o that_o point_n which_o that_o lord_n argue_v in_o that_o court_n upon_o a_o habeas_fw-la corpus_fw-la when_o the_o court_n agree_v they_o will_v have_v bail_v he_o have_v it_o not_o be_v in_o a_o time_n of_o a_o adjournment_n only_o of_o the_o parliament_n his_o word_n he_o say_v be_v that_o this_o court_n will_v and_o aught_o to_o judge_n a_o act_n of_o parliament_n void_a if_o it_o be_v against_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la and_o more_o may_v it_o judge_v of_o a_o order_n of_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n that_o be_v put_v in_o execution_n to_o deprive_v any_o subject_n of_o his_o liberty_n and_o as_o he_o say_v this_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v to_o be_v law_n so_o he_o be_v confident_a the_o earl_n of_o shaftbury_n be_v still_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o so_o must_v every_o lord_n in_o england_n be_v or_o when_o they_o consider_v their_o own_o case_n they_o

imprison_v for_o that_o whenever_o his_o majesty_n be_v please_v to_o call_v a_o parliament_n he_o will_v have_v remedy_n and_o that_o he_o must_v be_v content_a to_o await_v the_o king_n pleasure_n when_o he_o will_v call_v a_o parliament_n he_o take_v those_o to_o be_v full_a argument_n than_o any_o himself_o have_v make_v to_o prove_v that_o his_o imprisonment_n be_v indefinite_a and_o at_o the_o king_n pleasure_n so_o that_o he_o be_v now_o more_o full_o confirm_v than_o ever_o to_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n and_o wish_v that_o every_o man_n that_o hear_v that_o doctrine_n give_v for_o law_n may_v full_o consider_v the_o consequence_n of_o it_o he_o say_v further_o that_o his_o lordship_n have_v mistake_v he_o in_o think_v that_o he_o have_v say_v he_o be_v under_o a_o temporary_a indefinite_a imprisonment_n for_o that_o he_o have_v say_v he_o be_v under_o a_o absolute_a indefinite_a imprisonment_n and_o that_o his_o lordship_n have_v rather_o prove_v he_o to_o be_v so_o than_o show_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o contrary_a nor_o do_v he_o know_v what_o temporary_a indefinite_a do_v mean_v the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n then_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o judge_n at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o judge_n opinion_n be_v ask_v but_o desire_v his_o br._n jones_n to_o relate_v how_o it_o be_v mr._n justice_n jones_n then_o say_v that_o he_o remember_v the_o case_n have_v be_v put_v to_o the_o judge_n whether_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o tower_n may_v be_v bail_v and_o that_o it_o be_v then_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o judge_n that_o they_o may_v not_o but_o he_o say_v he_o do_v think_v the_o earl_n of_o danby_n be_v not_o particular_o concern_v in_o the_o question_n at_o that_o time_n but_o that_o it_o relate_v to_o the_o popish_a lord_n only_o and_o that_o there_o be_v much_o difference_n betwixt_o his_o lordship_n case_n and_o they_o beside_o he_o do_v think_v that_o be_v at_o a_o time_n when_o there_o be_v a_o day_n appoint_v for_o the_o meeting_n of_o a_o parliament_n the_o earl_n of_o danby_n then_o say_v that_o the_o question_n which_o be_v put_v at_o that_o time_n to_o the_o judge_n about_o the_o popish_a lord_n do_v not_o concern_v his_o case_n at_o all_o for_o that_o it_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o very_o many_o particular_n which_o he_o have_v already_o mention_v viz._n of_o no_o oath_n against_o he_o no_o special_a treason_n allege_v etc._n etc._n which_o he_o be_v loath_a to_o trouble_v they_o with_o repeat_v again_o but_o he_o suppose_v that_o the_o then_o opinion_n of_o the_o judge_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v make_v any_o argument_n against_o he_o he_o say_v also_o that_o the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n have_v argue_v very_o strong_o for_o he_o for_o that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o king_n may_v call_v a_o parliament_n when_o he_o please_v but_o if_o therefore_o a_o man_n must_v stay_v in_o prison_n till_o the_o king_n do_v please_v to_o do_v so_o he_o may_v by_o that_o very_a argument_n lie_v there_o all_o his_o life-time_n if_o the_o king_n please_v which_o confirm's_n what_o he_o have_v be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o this_o time_n labour_v to_o prove_v and_o he_o say_v he_o must_v confess_v he_o do_v expect_v to_o have_v hear_v strong_a and_o more_o powerful_a argument_n to_o have_v convince_v he_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n in_o what_o he_o have_v say_v but_o that_o now_o he_o be_v more_o encourage_v than_o before_o not_o to_o give_v over_o a_o cause_n which_o do_v so_o much_o concern_v every_o man_n in_o england_n the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n then_o say_v that_o his_o lordship_n be_v mistake_v in_o believe_v that_o that_o court_n do_v keep_v he_o in_o prison_n for_o that_o he_o be_v not_o keptin_a prison_n by_o they_o but_o by_o a_o superior_a court_n which_o be_v too_o big_a for_o they_o to_o meddle_v with_o or_o to_o examine_v what_o they_o do_v to_o this_o his_o lordship_n answer_v that_o he_o have_v wrong_o do_v he_o which_o must_v be_v do_v by_o some_o body_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o maxim_n of_o the_o law_n that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o man_n wrong_v be_v advise_v by_o his_o court_n beside_o that_o his_o majesty_n have_v twice_o show_v his_o consent_n in_o that_o court_n to_o have_v he_o bail_v neither_o can_v he_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v he_o wrong_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o their_o order_n to_o hinder_v his_o be_v bail_v beside_o their_o own_o practice_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o it_o seem_v now_o to_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o law_n and_o not_o by_o the_o order_n that_o he_o be_v keep_v a_o prisoner_n he_o say_v he_o will_v not_o say_v that_o that_o court_n do_v keep_v he_o a_o prisoner_n but_o by_o some_o body_n he_o be_v sure_a he_o be_v keep_v prisoner_n but_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v by_o the_o star_n since_o he_o can_v not_o find_v who_o it_o be_v upon_o earth_n that_o do_v it_o he_o conclude_v that_o if_o he_o be_v legal_o imprison_v yet_o by_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la and_o the_o petition_n of_o right_a etc._n etc._n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o english_a man_n to_o be_v without_o some_o certain_a prospect_n of_o relief_n in_o a_o reasonable_a time_n they_o be_v to_o have_v justice_n do_v they_o by_o the_o law_n at_o all_o time_n and_o without_o delay_n and_o that_o he_o be_v now_o in_o the_o king_n proper_a court_n for_o justice_n wherefore_o as_o his_o lordship_n have_v give_v his_o own_o opinion_n so_o he_o do_v desire_v that_o every_o judge_n will_v be_v please_v to_o deliver_v they_o several_o then_o mr._n justice_n jones_n say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o ready_a to_o give_v any_o present_a opinion_n there_o have_v be_v so_o much_o and_o some_o thing_n so_o material_o say_v by_o his_o lordship_n but_o that_o for_o his_o better_a satisfaction_n he_o do_v desire_n to_o ask_v his_o lordship_n a_o question_n in_o a_o point_n which_o do_v much_o stick_n with_o he_o and_o will_v go_v a_o great_a way_n in_o guide_v his_o judgement_n and_o he_o be_v confident_a that_o his_o lordship_n be_v as_o able_a to_o give_v he_o a_o answer_n to_o it_o as_o any_o man_n which_o be_v this_o his_o lordship_n he_o say_v have_v be_v charge_v with_o treason_n by_o a_o impeachment_n and_o have_v plead_v a_o pardon_n to_o the_o impeachment_n before_o the_o lord_n he_o say_v he_o take_v that_o plea_n to_o be_v a_o tacite_fw-la confession_n of_o guilt_n in_o

case_n but_o it_o be_v what_o he_o have_v not_o yet_o well_o consider_v though_o at_o present_a he_o take_v the_o law_n to_o be_v so_o and_o he_o do_v desire_n to_o hear_v what_o his_o lordship_n do_v say_v to_o that_o his_o lordship_n answer_v that_o he_o give_v he_o great_a thanks_o for_o let_v he_o clear_v any_o objection_n and_o give_v he_o liberty_n to_o answer_v they_o as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v that_o this_o indeed_o be_v a_o question_n of_o law_n which_o he_o be_v but_o little_o verse_v in_o but_o that_o he_o be_v at_o present_a able_a to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v read_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o great_a man_n of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v otherwise_o and_o instance_a what_o the_o lord_n goke_n have_v say_v upon_o the_o case_n of_o gravesend_n bishop_n of_o london_n 7._o e._n 3._o who_o do_v get_v a_o writ_n of_o discharge_n to_o the_o king_n bench_n and_o do_v not_o take_v a_o pardon_n upon_o which_o he_o observe_v the_o say_a lord_n coke_n to_o have_v say_v that_o

for_o that_o no_o man_n that_o be_v wise_a and_o well_o advise_v will_v refuse_v god_n and_o the_o king_n pardon_v how_o often_o so_o ever_o he_o may_v have_v it_o for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o
