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

nor_o handle_v it_o in_o part_n divide_o but_o as_o one_o entire_a because_o i_o hold_v no_o other_o difference_n between_o imprisonment_n and_o confinement_n then_o only_o this_o that_o one_o have_v a_o less_o and_o straight_a the_o other_o a_o great_a and_o large_a prison_n and_o this_o word_n confinement_n not_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o one_o case_n of_o our_o law_n if_o therefore_o it_o be_v become_v the_o language_n of_o state_n it_o be_v too_o difficult_a for_o i_o to_o define_v to_o proceed_v therefore_o in_o maintenace_n of_o my_o first_o reason_n i_o find_v our_o law_n do_v

of_o both_o house_n to_o maintain_v the_o just_a liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a and_o not_o to_o diminish_v the_o just_a power_n of_o the_o king_n and_o therefore_o the_o expression_n of_o that_o

that_o he_o will_v assign_v the_o particular_a that_o we_o may_v give_v a_o answer_n thereunto_o by_o our_o petition_n we_o only_o desire_v our_o particular_a right_n and_o liberty_n to_o be_v confirm_v to_o we_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a for_o we_o in_o it_o to_o mention_v sovereign_a power_n in_o general_n be_v altogether_o impertinent_a to_o the_o matter_n in_o the_o petition_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o word_n of_o the_o addition_n and_o the_o word_n propose_v therein_o for_o reason_n viz._n between_o just_a power_n which_o may_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v limit_v by_o law_n and_o sovereign_a power_n which_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v transcendent_a and_o boundless_a the_o second_o reason_n deliver_v by_o their_o lordship_n be_v that_o the_o king_n be_v sovereign_a that_o as_o he_o be_v sovereign_a he_o have_v power_n and_o that_o that_o sovereign_a power_n be_v to_o leave_v for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v leave_v it_o so_o as_o

of_o what_o we_o pray_v or_o at_o least_o admit_v some_o sovereign_a power_n in_o his_o majesty_n in_o these_o privilege_n which_o we_o claim_v to_o be_v our_o right_n which_o will_v frustrate_v our_o petition_n and_o destroy_v our_o right_n as_o i_o have_v former_o show_v the_o three_o reason_n give_v from_o this_o addition_n be_v that_o in_o the_o statute_n articuli_fw-la super_fw-la chartas_n there_o be_v a_o save_n of_o the_o right_n and_o seignory_n of_o the_o crown_n to_o which_o i_o give_v these_o answer_n that_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la be_v confirm_v above_o 30_o time_n and_o a_o general_a save_n be_v in_o none_o of_o these_o act_n of_o confirmation_n but_o in_o this_o only_a and_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n we_o shall_v follow_v one_o ill_a and_o not_o 30_o good_a precedent_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o that_o save_v produce_v ill_a effect_n that_o be_v well_o know_v that_o save_v be_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n the_o conclusion_n of_o which_o act_n be_v that_o in_o all_o those_o case_n the_o king_n do_v will_n and_o all_o those_o that_o be_v at_o the_o make_n of_o that_o ordinance_n do_v intend_v that_o the_o right_n and_o seignory_n of_o the_o crown_n shall_v be_v save_v by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o save_n be_v not_o in_o the_o petition_n of_o the_o commons_o but_o add_v by_o the_o king_n for_o in_o the_o petition_n the_o king_n will_v be_v no_o express_v in_o that_o act_n the_o king_n do_v grant_v and_o depart_v with_o to_o his_o people_n divers_a right_n belong_v to_o his_o prerogative_n as_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n he_o grant_v that_o the_o people_n may_v choose_v three_o man_n which_o may_v have_v power_n to_o hear_v and_o determine_v complaint_n make_v against_o those_o that_o offend_v in_o any_o point_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la though_o they_o be_v the_o king_n officer_n and_o to_o fine_a and_o ransom_n they_o and_o in_o the_o 8.12_o and_o 19_o chapter_n of_o that_o statute_n the_o king_n depart_v with_o other_o prerogative_n and_o therefore_o there_o may_v be_v some_o reason_n of_o the_o add_v of_o that_o sovereign_n by_o the_o king_n council_n but_o in_o this_o petition_n we_o desire_v nothing_o of_o the_o king_n prerogative_n but_o pray_v the_o enjoy_n of_o our_o proper_a and_o undoubted_a right_n and_o privilege_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o add_v any_o word_n which_o may_v imply_v a_o save_n of_o that_o which_o concern_v not_o the_o matter_n in_o the_o petition_n the_o 4._o reason_n give_v by_o their_o lordship_n be_v that_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o our_o speaker_n we_o have_v this_o parliament_n declare_v that_o it_o be_v far_o from_o our_o intention_n to_o encroach_v upon_o his_o majesty_n prerogative_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o can_v not_o prejudice_v we_o to_o mention_v the_o same_o resolution_n in_o a_o addition_n to_o this_o petition_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o that_o declaration_n be_v a_o general_a answer_n to_o a_o message_n from_o his_o majesty_n to_o we_o by_o which_o his_o majesty_n express_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v his_o prerogative_n straighten_v by_o any_o new_a explanation_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la or_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o statute_n and_o therefore_o that_o expression_n of_o our_o speaker_n be_v then_o proper_a to_o make_v it_o have_v reference_n to_o this_o petition_n there_o be_v nothing_o therein_o
contain_v but_o particular_a right_n of_o the_o subject_a and_o nothing_o at_o all_o concern_v his_o majesty_n prerogative_n second_o that_o answer_n be_v to_o give_v his_o majectie_a satisfaction_n of_o all_o our_o proceed_n in_o general_a and_o no_o man_n can_v assign_v any_o particular_a in_o which_o we_o have_v break_v it_o and_o this_o petition_n justify_v itself_o that_o in_o it_o we_o

therefore_o it_o be_v well_o necessary_a that_o a_o save_a shall_v be_v add_v to_o the_o petition_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o the_o statute_n 5._o e._n 3._o 25._o e._n 3._o 28._o e._n 3._o and_o other_o statute_n with_o which_o magna_n charta_n be_v confirm_v the_o word_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o explanation_n differ_v from_o the_o word_n of_o magna_n charta_n itself_o the_o word_n of_o

from_o the_o word_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la in_o many_o other_o particular_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v not_o save_v in_o those_o statute_n much_o less_o shall_v there_o be_v any_o in_o a_o
