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

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

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
