prohibition deal roy note upon Sunday the that of November in this same term  the king upon complaint make to he by Bancroft the archbishop of Canterbury  concern prohibition the king be inform that when the question be make of what  matter the ecclesiastical judge have cognizance either upon the exposition of  the statute concern tithe or any other thing ecclesiastical or upon the  statute Elizabeth concern the high Commission or in any other case in which  there be not express authority in law the king himself may decide it in his  royal person and that the judge be but the delegate of the king and that the  king may take what cause he shall please to determine from the determination  of the judge and may determine they himself and the archbishop say that this  be clear in divinity that such authority belong to the king by the word of God  in the scripture to which it be answer by I in the presence and with the clear  consent of all the judge of England and baron of the exchequer that the king  in his own person can adjudge any case either criminal as treason felony c or  betwixt party and party concern his inheritance chattel or good c but this  ought to be determine and adjudge in some court of justice accord to the law  and custom of England and always judgement be give therefore  to look at closely be per senate so that the court give the judgement and the  king have his court videlicet in the upper house of parliament in which he  with his lord be the supreme judge over all other judge for if error be in the  common plea that may be reverse in the king bench and if the court of king  bench err that may be reverse in the upper house of parliament by the king  with the assent of the lord spiritual and temporal without the Commons and in  this respect the king be call the chief justice Henry a by Brudnell and it  appear in our book that the king may sit in the star Chamber but this be to  consult with the justice upon certain question propose to they and not in  judgment so in the king bench he may sit but the court give the judgement and  it be common say in our book that the king be always present in court in the  judgement of law and upon this he can be nonsuit but the judgement be always  give per senate and the judge be swear to execute justice accord to law and  custom of England and it appear by the act of parliament of Edward cap Edward  cap that neither by the great seal nor by the little seal justice shall be  delay ergo the king can take any cause out of any of his court and give  judgement upon it himself but in his own cause he may stay it as it do appear  Henry and the judge inform the king that no king after the conquest assume to  himself to give any judgement in any cause whatsoever which concern the  administration of justice within this realm but these be sole determine in the  court of justice and the king can arrest any man as the book be in Henry for  the party can have remedy against the king so if the king give any judgement  what remedy can the party have vide Edward one who have a judgement reverse  before the council of state it be hold utter void for that it be not a place  where judgement may be reverse vide Henry Hussey chief justice who be attorney  to Edward the four report that sir John Markham chief justice say to king  Edward the four that the king can arrest a man for suspicion of treason or  felony as other of his liege may for that if it be a wrong to the party grieve  he can have no remedy and it be great marvel that the arch bishop dare inform  the king that such absolute power and authority as be aforesaid belong to the  king by the word of God vide Henry cap which be translate into Latin the  effect be Judicia in senate king  To give back non annihile say stet judgment  in his oak until what time per judgment curiae king tanquam wandering about c  vide west cap vide Le stat de marlbridge cap to see in advance be concordatum  et concession quoth tam mayor how those inferior in rank the whole of the laws  to have et To take back in senate domini king et vide Le stat de great Charta  cap Edward cap none may be take by petition or suggestion make to our lord the  king or his Council unless by judgement and Edward cap no man shall be put to  answer without presentment before the justice matter of record or by due  process or by writ original accord to the ancient law of the land and if any  thing be do against it it shall be void in law and hold for error vide Edward  c Edward cap vide Richard ex rotulis parliament in Turri act a controversy of  land between party be hear by the king andsentence give which be repeal for  this that it do belong to the commonlaw then the king say that he think the  law be find upon reason and that he and other have reason as well as the judge  to which it be answer by I that true it be that God have endow his majesty  with excellent science and great endowment of nature but his majesty be not  learned in the law of his realm of England and cause which concern the life or  inheritance or good or fortune of his subject they be not to be decide by  natural reason but by the artificial reason and judgement of law which law be  a act which require long study and experience before that a man can attain to  the cognizance of it and that the law be the golden metwand and measure to try  the cause of the subject and which protect his majesty in safety and peace  with which the king be great offend and say that then he shall be under the  law which be treason to affirm as he say to which I say that Bracton say quoth  king non debet be sub a human being say sub a god et lege
