discharge_v a_o man_n or_o pardon_v he_o though_o for_o treason_n but_o this_o case_n be_v not_o so_o because_o the_o lord_n justice_n be_v but_o minister_v to_o the_o king_n 21_o r._n 2_o arundel_n archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n who_o as_o they_o say_v be_v impeach_v of_o treason_n but_o not_o commit_v answer_n the_o case_n be_v this_o there_o be_v a_o commission_n issue_v out_o by_o ric._n 2._o that_o that_o bishop_n and_o other_o shall_v regulate_v what_o be_v amiss_o by_o evil_a government_n and_o the_o king_n be_v offend_v at_o the_o grant_n of_o it_o and_o at_o nottingham_n send_v for_o

be_v the_o case_n we_o say_v that_o if_o a_o fact_n be_v call_v treason_n which_o afterward_o appear_v to_o be_v none_o there_o can_v be_v no_o commitment_n for_o if_o a_o man_n call_v another_o man_n come_v into_o his_o ground_n treason_n it_o fall_v of_o itself_o therefore_o the_o bishop_n be_v not_o commit_v the_o lord_n say_v far_o that_o all_o those_o article_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v treason_n which_o before_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v treason_n to_o commit_v a_o man_n because_o the_o nature_n of_o they_o must_v be_v treason_n at_o common-law_n and_o till_o these_o treason_n be_v declare_v which_o be_v not_o till_o 21_o ed._n 3._o they_o be_v not_o treason_n so_o as_o to_o imprison_v or_o try_v any_o man_n for_o they_o we_o reply_v all_o that_o parliament_n be_v repeal_v yet_o the_o precedent_n be_v the_o more_o authentic_a but_o i_o think_v that_o lord_n it_o be_v the_o earl_n of_o b_o ●_o understand_v not_o what_o he_o say_v at_o least_o i_o do_v not_o then_o about_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n precedent_n the_o lord_n say_v that_o the_o very_a impeachment_n be_v take_v away_o by_o the_o act_n of_o this_o parliament_n because_o the_o impeachment_n be_v recite_v in_o it_o namely_o whereas_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n be_v impeach_v etc._n etc._n but_o every_o clause_n in_o that_o act_n of_o attainder_n be_v take_v away_o now_o therefore_o the_o impeachment_n and_o you_o can_v make_v use_n of_o any_o part_n of_o it_o we_o reply_v it_o be_v true_a the_o act_n of_o attainder_n be_v take_v away_o but_o the_o very_a act_n of_o repeal_n do_v recite_v that_o very_a clause_n whereas_o thomas_n earl_n of_o strafford_n be_v impeach_v &c._n &c._n and_o the_o act_n can_v take_v away_o any_o thing_n which_o strengthen_v its_o own_o supposition_n then_o the_o lord_n say_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o comply_v with_o the_o commons_o but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v tender_a of_o their_o own_o judicial_a proceed_n commons_o it_o be_v true_a they_o ought_v and_o we_o suppose_v that_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v jealous_a that_o we_o shall_v entrench_v on_o their_o power_n but_o the_o commons_o be_v so_o far_o from_o that_o that_o they_o think_v the_o judicial_a power_n better_o lodge_v with_o they_o then_o in_o the_o commons_o themselves_o can_v be_v but_o we_o will_v open_v the_o objection_n their_o lordship_n be_v the_o judge_n in_o this_o case_n may_v think_v that_o for_o the_o commons_o to_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o know_v what_o be_v treason_n will_v be_v a_o assume_v to_o themselves_o what_o be_v only_o proper_a to_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o now_o in_o charge_v the_o earl_n of_o clarendon_n general_o lord_n the_o objection_n be_v right_a commons_o for_o our_o know_a treason_n we_o have_v many_o among_o we_o who_o be_v justice_n of_o peace_n trust_v by_o law_n to_o know_v and_o commit_v and_o if_o the_o parliament_n be_v not_o sit_v even_o to_o commit_v a_o peer_n himself_o for_o treason_n and_o the_o know_v what_o be_v treason_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v improper_a to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o that_o every_o man_n in_o the_o nation_n be_v bind_v to_o know_v it_o for_o be_v it_o ever_o know_v that_o ignorance_n of_o the_o law_n can_v ever_o excuse_v a_o man_n from_o break_v the_o law_n law_n be_v make_v to_o be_v know_v by_o subject_n especial_o those_o which_o concern_v the_o king_n and_o unless_o they_o can_v find_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o parliament_n embody_v shall_v be_v more_o ignorant_a than_o particular_a person_n the_o present_a case_n must_v be_v clear_a that_o the_o jealousy_n of_o the_o lord_n arise_v from_o a_o fallacy_n thus_o the_o lord_n have_v judicial_a power_n concern_v treason_n and_o mnst_a of_o necessity_n know_v in_o the_o common_a have_v no_o judicial_a power_n over_o it_o therefore_o can_v know_v it_o that_o be_v because_o the_o commons_o know_v what_o law_n be_v therefore_o they_o have_v judicial_a power_n over_o law_n to_o this_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n reply_v far_o we_o say_v that_o because_o they_o insist_v upon_o to_o specify_v treason_n because_o by_o commit_v upon_o a_o general_a they_o may_v wrong_v the_o party_n by_o commit_v he_o without_o cause_n and_o because_o they_o themselves_o be_v not_o inform_v in_o their_o conscience_n what_o they_o do_v they_o will_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v the_o many_o inconvenience_n which_o may_v follow_v if_o the_o charge_n of_o treason_n be_v not_o general_a but_o particular_a and_o suppose_v it_o be_v special_a their_o lordship_n will_v know_v no_o more_o by_o it_o for_o suppose_v a_o man_n impeach_v for_o counterfeit_v the_o great_a seal_n which_o be_v express_a treason_n and_o he_o may_v be_v impeach_v for_o it_o yet_o neither_o their_o lordship_n nor_o the_o party_n can_v have_v any_o advantage_n by_o that_o specification_n because_o there_o may_v be_v as_o many_o question_n what_o be_v counterfeit_v the_o great_a seal_n or_o what_o be_v treason_n for_o instance_n one_o leak_n a_o clerk_n in_o chancery_n intend_v to_o forge_n a_o patent_n put_v together_o two_o piece_n of_o parchment_n and_o have_v fit_v they_o and_o put_v they_o together_o with_o mouth-glew_a that_o they_o appear_v as_o one_o then_o a_o grant_v be_v write_v upon_o the_o outmost_a and_o a_o seal_v affix_v so_o that_o the_o great_a seal_n be_v put_v to_o a_o true_a thing_n than_o he_o cut_v off_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o parchment_n so_o as_o to_o sever_v they_o take_v off_o the_o write_a one_o and_o leave_v the_o seal_n on_o the_o blank_a then_o forge_v the_o grant_n and_o make_v use_v of_o it_o this_o be_v question_v before_o the_o judge_n whether_o it_o be_v treason_n or_o not_o that_o be_v whether_o counterfeit_v the_o great_a seal_n or_o not_o if_o it_o be_v it_o be_v treason_n otherwise_o not_o they_o resolve_v it_o be_v not_o counterfeit_v the_o great_a seal_n and_o so_o not_o but_o misprision_n and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v treason_n they_o resolve_v that_o a_o indictment_n have_v be_v enough_o to_o impeach_v he_o then_o suppose_v you_o have_v such_o a_o impeachment_n before_o you_o for_o counterfeit_v the_o great_a seal_n you_o have_v special_a treason_n and_o imprison_v he_o but_o when_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o question_n it_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v treason_n therefore_o he_o be_v wrong_v imprison_v and_o if_o your_o lordship_n will_v examine_v what_o knowledge_n you_o have_v of_o this_o fact_n you_o have_v no_o more_o than_o if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o general_a treason_n lord_n there_o be_v a_o case_n put_v there_o as_o we_o be_v content_a to_o take_v a_o special_a treason_n but_o expect_v not_o the_o proof_n as_o there_o it_o be_v commons_o if_o it_o be_v a_o case_n put_v so_o be_v your_o lordship_n reply_n for_o it_o be_v put_v ex_fw-la concesso_fw-la because_o you_o agree_v that_o if_o the_o treason_n be_v special_a the_o party_n be_v to_o be_v commit_v and_o this_o case_n be_v to_o show_v their_o lordship_n they_o be_v in_o no_o better_a
