george_n cole_n and_o william_n baron_n churchwarden_n of_o the_o parish_n of_o st._n bartholomew_n exchange_n each_o do_v declare_v as_o follow_v whereas_o we_o can_v of_o our_o own_o knowledge_n

not_o blame_v sir_n george_n for_o make_v this_o plea_n for_o the_o doctor_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o doctor_n pinfold_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v a_o libel_n in_o the_o case_n as_o well_o as_o a_o presentment_n the_o statute_n mention_v a_o libel_n of_o thing_n surmise_v against_o the_o king_n liege_n people_n however_o the_o king_n subject_n have_v good_a cause_n to_o esteem_v the_o proceed_n of_o the_o king_n court_n of_o justice_n where_o there_o be_v not_o only_a presentment_n but_o afterward_o indictment_n and_o time_n allow_v to_o the_o king_n subject_n to_o defend_v

the_o judge_n and_o the_o law_n discharge_v but_o the_o say_v jones_n and_o a_o multitude_n of_o his_o fellow_n protestant_n have_v not_o have_v such_o fair_a deal_n in_o doctor_n pinfold_n court_n and_o therefore_o the_o say_a jones_n have_v cause_n to_o say_v from_o such_o court_n and_o such_o proceed_n good_a lord_n deliver_v we_o and_o whereas_o the_o say_v jones_n be_v inform_v that_o sir_n george_n do_v reflect_v upon_o he_o for_o move_v in_o the_o king_n court_n of_o common_a plea_n before_o he_o come_v to_o move_v in_o the_o king_n bench_n for_o a_o prohibition_n as_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v two_o string_n to_o his_o bow_n the_o say_a jones_n do_v humble_o desire_v sir_n george_n to_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v every_o man_n concern_v to_o do_v his_o best_a and_o use_v the_o

jefferies_n as_o his_o conncel_n in_o this_o case_n it_o have_v not_o be_v lose_v for_o want_n of_o speak_v to_o it_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o silence_n of_o some_o sergeant_n at_o law_n that_o be_v expect_v to_o make_v some_o reply_n in_o that_o case_n and_o the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n pemberton_n then_o sit_v upon_o the_o bench_n be_v willing_a to_o hear_v a_o reply_n what_o be_v the_o

not_o sufficient_a fee_n to_o speak_v grandfather_n time_n must_v show_v but_o whether_o because_o one_o sergeant_n speak_v so_o much_o and_o other_o say_v nothing_o at_o all_o prohibition_n wear_v overthrow_v in_o westminster-hall_n shall_v be_v lest_o to_o consideration_n however_o the_o say_v jones_n say_v that_o he_o be_v encourage_v to_o take_v this_o way_n because_o divers_a of_o the_o king_n subject_n have_v thereby_o have_v relief_n former_o from_o the_o power_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n who_o be_v under_o the_o same_o circumstance_n and_o therefore_o the_o say_a jones_n do_v humble_o pray_v sir_n george_n jefferies_n to_o consider_v that_o not_o every_o cause_n he_o have_v manage_v either_o for_o the_o plaintiff_n or_o defendant_n have_v go_v currant_n before_o the_o
