gentleman_n choose_v either_o to_o be_v papist_n or_o burn_v or_o hang_v i_o have_v no_o disrespect_n to_o the_o duke_n if_o this_o proposal_n can_v keep_v out_o popery_n but_o if_o i_o be_o to_o leap_v over_o a_o river_n i_o have_v rather_o have_v no_o staff_n than_o a_o break_a one_o this_o can_v be_v no_o security_n if_o you_o leave_v it_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o council_n to_o make_v war_n and_o peace_n and_o dispose_v of_o money_n pray_v then_o where_o be_v the_o government_n either_o they_o will_v be_v faithful_a and_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o regency_n or_o the_o king_n must_v be_v king_n but_o in_o the_o name_n and_o they_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o government_n i_o have_v hear_v the_o expedient_n with_o patience_n and_o have_v not_o be_v overhasty_a to_o put_v the_o question_n but_o i_o see_v no_o remedy_n to_o save_v religion_n unless_o exclude_v the_o duke_n therefore_o pray_v put_v the_o question_n for_o the_o bill_n etc._n etc._n the_o question_n be_v state_v r._n h._n you_o have_v be_v move_v to_o add_v to_o the_o duke_n exclusion_n all_o other_o popish_a successor_n this_o be_v a_o bill_n on_o purpose_n to_o exclude_v the_o duke_n only_o you_o may_v exclude_v all_o other_o papist_n from_o succeed_v etc._n etc._n in_o another_o bill_n by_o itself_o but_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o way_n to_o loose_v a_o bill_n be_v to_o flog_v it_o h_o c._n i_o shall_v only_o observe_v that_o by_o the_o last_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n if_o the_o duke_n shall_v turn_v protestant_n he_o will_v be_v exclude_v and_o if_o the_o princess_n of_o orange_n turn_v papist_n she_o be_v not_o exclude_v vid._n the_o vote_n for_o the_o bill_n in_o print_n in_o the_o afternoon_n a_o account_v give_v of_o the_o lord_n throw_v out_o the_o impeachment_n of_o fitzharris_n sir_n t._n l._n i_o see_v by_o the_o lord_n refuse_v this_o impeachment_n no_o far_o use_v of_o a_o parliament_n they_o will_v be_v a_o court_n or_o not_o a_o court_n to_o serve_v a_o present_a purpose_n sir_n w._n j._n in_o a_o matter_n so_o plain_a and_o which_o concern_v the_o very_a be_v of_o parliament_n i_o be_o unwilling_a to_o make_v unnecessary_a doubt_n if_o a_o action_n be_v bring_v in_o the_o low_a court_n it_o do_v not_o hinder_v the_o action_n be_v bring_v in_o westminster-hall_n if_o no_o judgement_n upon_o it_o and_o it_o hold_v the_o like_a in_o this_o case_n indictment_n be_v bring_v against_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o tower_n at_o common_a law_n and_o yet_o be_v no_o impediment_n to_o their_o impeachment_n in_o the_o lord_n house_n but_o here_o be_v no_o indictment_n or_o prosecution_n bring_v against_o fitzharris_n we_o have_v a_o instance_n fresh_a in_o memory_n the_o lord_n cheif-justice_n scroggs_n a_o commoner_n and_o not_o indict_v at_o common-law_n yet_o the_o lord_n without_o any_o scruple_n accept_v his_o impeachment_n so_o that_o we_o need_v not_o spend_v our_o time_n to_o search_v precedent_n perhaps_o the_o lord_n journal_o be_v not_o make_v up_o but_o our_o member_n have_v take_v note_n out_o of_o the_o minut-book_n by_o they_o we_o find_v the_o lord_n have_v determine_v a_o great_a point_n the_o lord_n spiritual_a as_o well_o as_o the_o lord_n temporal_a have_v vote_v it_o which_o we_o own_v not_o in_o this_o judicature_n nor_o i_o hope_v never_o shall_v and_o we_o be_v deny_v justice_n by_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a who_o have_v no_o right_n to_o vote_n this_o be_v do_v a_o double_a act_n of_o injustice_n and_o since_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o throw_v out_o the_o impeachment_n of_o fitzharris_n let_v we_o vote_n that_o the_o commons_o have_v a_o right_a to_o impeach_v in_o capital_a case_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v deny_v we_o justice_n in_o refuse_v the_o impeachment_n and_o after_o you_o have_v assert_v your_o privilege_n then_o draw_v up_o reason_n for_o maintain_v they_o and_o if_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o parliament_n follow_v it_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o those_o man_n who_o will_v not_o hear_v our_o reason_n and_o in_o a_o parliamentary_a way_n at_o a_o conference_n show_v how_o unwarrantable_a the_o lord_n action_n have_v be_v in_o their_o way_n of_o proceed_v sir_n f._n w._n if_o this_o impeachment_n of_o fitzharris_n be_v of_o so_o ordinary_a a_o nature_n as_o a_o monopoly_n etc._n etc._n i_o shall_v not_o press_v upon_o this_o matter_n but_o this_o be_v not_o a_o ordinary_a accusation_n but_o that_o which_o relate_v to_o our_o religion_n and_o property_n and_o how_o the_o bishop_n come_v to_o stifle_v this_o let_v god_n and_o the_o world_n judge_n i_o will_v know_v if_o a_o man_n be_v impeach_v by_o the_o commons_o and_o no_o indictment_n against_o he_o only_o the_o atturney-general_n tell_v the_o lord_n that_o the_o king_n give_v direction_n he_o shall_v be_v prosecute_v and_o no_o record_n against_o he_o whether_o this_o be_v a_o ground_n to_o deny_v our_o impeachment_n if_o the_o lord_n will_v vote_n that_o the_o commons_o shall_v not_o impeach_v he_o they_o may_v as_o well_o vote_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v prosecutor_n but_o yet_o we_o will_v be_v so_o this_o be_v a_o new_a plot_n against_o the_o protestant_n of_o which_o fitzharris_n be_v accuse_v and_o we_o must_v not_o impeach_v he_o in_o this_o the_o lord_n fair_o say_v we_o must_v not_o hear_v it_o if_o this_o be_v the_o case_n i_o desire_v you'ill_v come_v to_o some_o vote_n you_o be_v willing_a to_o discover_v the_o plot_n if_o you_o can_v if_o the_o attourny-general_n have_v prepare_v a_o prosecution_n in_o a_o inferior_a court_n and_o they_o have_v proceed_v to_o judgement_n than_o it_o be_v plead_v in_o bar_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o a_o superior_a court_n if_o our_o time_n be_v short_a as_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v pray_v do_v not_o delay_v to_o come_v to_o some_o resolution_n if_o the_o house_n be_v satisfy_v in_o it_o pray_v make_v a_o vote_n to_o assert_v your_o right_n a_o little_a while_n ago_o when_o the_o duke_n be_v present_v for_o a_o papist_n the_o grand_a jury_n you_o know_v be_v dismiss_v by_o chief-justice_n etc._n etc._n this_o seem_v as_o if_o the_o lord_n be_v bind_v in_o honour_n to_o justify_v the_o judge_n proceed_n by_o their_o own_o it_o be_v a_o reflection_n of_o weakness_n in_o a_o man_n who_o doubt_v in_o a_o plain_a matter_n and_o if_o no_o man_n doubt_v our_o right_n pray_v vote_n it_o so_o sir_n r._n h._n i_o be_o glad_a we_o be_v off_o from_o the_o great_a thing_n yesterday_o i_o can_v believe_v but_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v judgement_n enough_o to_o have_v cause_n for_o what_o they_o do_v and_o in_o this_o cause_n of_o fitzharris_n impeachment_n in_o this_o matter_n precedent_n you_o need_v not_o search_v this_o of_o fitzharris_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o more_o dangerous_a breath_n than_o usual_a a_o breath_n fit_a to_o be_v stifle_v there_o be_v something_o in_o this_o more_o than_o ordinary_a if_o there_o be_v so_o sacred_a a_o respect_n to_o the_o common_a trial_n of_o england_n in_o inferior_a court_n it_o be_v strange_a that_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o shall_v be_v below_o a_o common_a jury_n if_o in_o the_o case_n of_o skinner_n and_o the_o fact_n do_v beyond_o the_o sea_n the_o lord_n contend_v with_o the_o commons_o about_o judge_v it_o though_o it_o be_v a_o original_a cause_n this_o be_v no_o great_a value_n of_o the_o law_n of_o england_n but_o it_o seem_v they_o value_v fitzharris_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o we_o when_o i_o have_v hear_v in_o all_o the_o speech_n to_o day_n that_o the_o duke_n do_v not_o go_v single_a and_o have_v hear_v so_o excellent_a discourse_n to_o day_n of_o that_o matter_n i_o be_o loath_a to_o mingle_v my_o weakness_n but_o such_o council_n as_o this_o the_o king_n hereafter_o will_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o thank_v they_o for_o involve_v he_o in_o the_o fatality_n of_o those_o counsel_n as_o if_o they_o will_v make_v the_o libel_n of_o fitzharris_n the_o copy_n of_o their_o counsel_n dangerfield_n be_v repute_v a_o most_o infamous_a person_n yet_o if_o he_o will_v speak_v what_o he_o know_v nothing_o of_o mercy_n be_v to_o big_a for_o he_o but_o fitzharris_n be_v a_o man_n of_o no_o infamy_n and_o yet_o they_o hurry_v he_o away_o to_o the_o tower_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o confess_v in_o newgat_n be_v you_o so_o lose_v that_o you_o have_v no_o mercy_n leave_v for_o the_o protestant_a religion_n this_o be_v strange_a if_o the_o terror_n of_o his_o condition_n make_v he_o confess_v the_o whole_a plot_n &_o he_o be_v take_v out_o of_o our_o hand_n we_o hear_v of_o other_o thing_n as_o that_o the_o french_a ambassador_n have_v a_o hand_n in_o this_o plot_n which_o a_o jury_n will_v not_o inquire_v into_o their_o business_n be_v only_o whether_o fitzharris_n be_v guilty_a or_o not_o guilty_a
