perpetrate_v by_o a_o indifferent_a honest_a lawful_a english_a jury_n upon_o a_o indictment_n find_v by_o the_o grand_a inquest_n than_o thus_o to_o kill_v behead_v such_o malefactor_n in_o ireland_n

in_o this_o case_n and_o trial_n the_o three_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o if_o irish_a peer_n have_v be_v within_o this_o law_n there_o be_v so_o many_o rebellion_n 3._o in_o ireland_n since_o

peer_n for_o treason_n perpetrate_v in_o ireland_n be_v out_o of_o this_o act_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o no_o irish_a peer_n have_v be_v try_v by_o their_o peer_n in_o ireland_n for_o

peer_n have_v be_v try_v here_o since_o this_o law_n by_o virtue_n of_o it_o be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v not_o deem_v within_o it_o but_o for_o other_o reason_n 1._o because_o most_o of_o the_o irish_a peer_n who_o have_v be_v in_o actual_a rebellion_n since_o this_o law_n be_v *_o 200._o either_o actual_o slay_v in_o the_o war_n or_o flee_v the_o kingdom_n or_o else_o be_v receive_v into_o

only_o avoid_v their_o trial_n here_o 2_o because_o some_o irish_a rebel_n as_o great_a as_o magwire_n or_o any_o of_o their_o peer_n in_o power_n and_o estate_n have_v be_v heretofore_o try_v and_o
