What concerns did Sir Edward Coke raise during the case of Edmond Peacham?

In the case of Edmond Peacham, a clergyman charged with treason for writing a treatise that justified rebellion against oppression, Sir Edward Coke raised concerns regarding the judicial process. Specifically, he protested against the practice of King James I—abetted by Francis Bacon—of consulting judges individually and separately regarding the case. Coke objected to this method, which the King had adopted because the entire bench, when consulted together, had merely echoed Coke’s own views.1
