And when you have pleaded, and used all the arguments you can, and have heard the judgement of the court in it, you may satisfy your conscience, that in the words of honest men (unless it be the jurisdiction of the court, though you have tacitly spoken there) you shall have that right and privilege which the law allows you. I confess•, I never spake here before, and it is a rule amongst us, that none but the President should speak, and we have done more to you, then to the greatest person that ever spake here, because we think some necessity lies upon us towards you (in regard of your calling, and the worth that hath appeared in you) to direct you what you have to do.

M. Love. Sir, a man may demur touching the jurisdiction of any court, if he can show any thing in the indictment that the court cannot take cognizance of, which he is charged with; though he do not demur simply as to their jurisdiction in general, yet as to that particular he may demur; as a man may demur in Chancery, when a cause is only triable at the common law.
