Thirdly, by the testimony of Bracton, fol. 34. a. b. Sunt sub Rege liberi homines, & servi; & omnis sub co est, & ipse sub nullo, nisi tantum sub Deo. Si a Rege peta•ur (cum Breve non currat contra R•gem) locus erit supplicationi, quod factum suum corrigat, emendat; si non f•cerit, satis erit ei ad poenam, quod Dominum exp•ctet ultorem; de chartis Regiis, & factis Regum, nec privatae nec justitiarii debent disputare. There are under the King freemen and slaves; and every one is under him, and he under none, but under God only. If ought be desired of the King, (since a Writ cannot go forth against the King) an entreaty must come in stead, that he would correct and amend his doing: if he do not, it will be punishment enough, that he expect the Lord to be the avenger: Of the Royal grants and actions of the King, neither private persons nor Judges ought to […]ute.
