and_o authority_n of_o the_o king_n and_o some_o prosecutor_n who_o earnest_o press_v the_o lord_n thereunto_o upon_o pretence_n of_o speedy_o avenge_a the_o blood_n of_o the_o former_a king_n and_o

notwithstanding_o the_o unlawful_a judgement_n they_o have_v late_o give_v so_o that_o the_o question_n be_v still_o the_o same_o whether_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n that_o be_v the_o law_n

when_o they_o be_v not_o impeach_v in_o parliament_n therefore_o they_o must_v give_v no_o judgement_n against_o they_o at_o the_o suit_n of_o the_o commons_o in_o parliament_n when_o they_o be_v by_o
