for_o a_o act_n against_o impeachment_n it_o be_v as_o he_o say_v a_o proceed_v attend_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o injustice_n and_o partiality_n but_o if_o the_o commons_o desire_v to_o impeach_v a_o commoner_n may_v they_o do_v it_o yes_o if_o the_o lord_n be_v willing_a for_o they_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o pass_v judgement_n on_o any_o against_o their_o will_n but_o their_o peer_n as_o it_o be_v prove_v from_o the_o case_n of_o bereford_n gournay_n and_o other_o who_o in_o the_o four_o of_o edward_n the_o three_o have_v judgement_n pass_v on_o they_o by_o the_o lord_n and_o afterward_o it_o be_v accord_v by_o the_o king_n and_o all_o the_o grands_fw-fr that_o albeit_o the_o peer_n as_o judge_n of_o parliament_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o make_v and_o render_v the_o say_a judgement_n yet_o that_o the_o peer_n shall_v not_o for_o the_o future_a be_v bind_v to_o render_v judgement_n on_o any_o but_o their_o peer_n this_o proviso_n be_v make_v in_o full_a parliament_n with_o these_o two_o respect_n 1._o to_o satisfy_v the_o commons_o that_o they_o intend_v not_o by_o their_o judgement_n to_o alter_v the_o course_n of_o the_o common_a law_n and_o therefore_o they_o declare_v against_o power_n to_o do_v this_o and_o confess_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n 2._o to_o preserve_v their_o own_o right_n to_o judge_n none_o but_o their_o peer_n in_o case_n of_o life_n and_o death_n so_o then_o this_o precedent_n be_v urge_v as_o a_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o reject_v of_o the_o impeachment_n be_v lawful_a but_o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o the_o case_n of_o bereford_n and_o the_o rest_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o case_n of_o fitz-harris_n if_o it_o be_v the_o author_n have_v sure_o overturn_v the_o protestation_n if_o it_o be_v not_o it_o will_v no_o way_n serve_v his_o turn_n bereford_n by_o the_o command_n of_o the_o king_n be_v bring_v into_o parliament_n and_o there_o have_v judgement_n at_o the_o king_n suit_n which_o by_o the_o way_n be_v very_o illegal_a for_o all_o indict_v aught_o to_o be_v try_v by_o their_o peer_n fitz-harris_n be_v impeach_v by_o the_o commons_o and_o at_o their_o suit_n can_v be_v try_v no_o where_o but_o in_o parliament_n and_o now_o that_o these_o two_o case_n be_v not_o the_o same_o be_v very_o clear_a and_o if_o not_o the_o same_o than_o our_o author_n can_v from_o hence_o infer_v that_o the_o rejectment_n be_v lawful_a for_o when_o a_o precedent_n be_v bring_v for_o a_o proof_n the_o precedent_n must_v always_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v now_o see_v the_o case_n of_o bereford_n and_o fitz-harris_n be_v not_o the_o same_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v infer_v from_o the_o case_n of_o bereford_n to_o the_o case_n of_o fitz-harris_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v to_o i_o very_o strange_a that_o because_o the_o lord_n accord_v that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v oblige_v to_o try_v a_o commoner_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v try_v at_o the_o common_a law_n our_o author_n shall_v infer_v that_o they_o be_v not_o likewise_o oblige_v to_o try_v a_o commoner_n when_o he_o be_v prosecute_v at_o that_o suit_n that_o can_v be_v try_v no_o where_o but_o before_o the_o lord_n in_o parliament_n this_o be_v to_o make_v a_o indictment_n and_o impeachment_n the_o same_o and_o if_o so_o than_o a_o indictment_n may_v be_v find_v by_o the_o commons_o in_o parliament_n and_o a_o impeachment_n may_v be_v bring_v out_o of_o parliament_n to_o assert_v which_o will_v be_v the_o high_a of_o nonsense_n and_o indeed_o i_o shall_v suspect_v that_o man_n to_o be_v of_o a_o distemper_a understanding_n that_o shall_v affirm_v it_o it_o be_v yet_o more_o apparent_a this_o can_v no_o way_n prejudice_v a_o impeachment_n for_o that_o be_v do_v to_o assure_v the_o commons_o the_o lord_n intend_v not_o to_o alter_v the_o course_n of_o the_o common_a law_n thence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o subject-matter_n of_o that_o act_n be_v such_o as_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v try_v at_o the_o common_a law_n of_o which_o a_o impeachment_n be_v no_o part_n and_o consequent_o can_v not_o be_v concern_v in_o this_o act_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o it_o may_v be_v presume_v that_o if_o the_o commons_o shall_v force_v a_o impeachment_n on_o the_o lord_n against_o a_o commoner_n that_o may_v be_v try_v at_o the_o common_a law_n and_o vote_n that_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v try_v in_o a_o inferior_a court_n man_n may_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v it_o be_v a_o design_n to_o delay_v justice_n or_o to_o get_v a_o pardon_n indeed_o i_o real_o think_v that_o what_o induce_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o to_o this_o impeachment_n be_v not_o a_o pure_a design_n of_o prosecution_n but_o because_o they_o will_v create_v a_o opportunity_n of_o make_v a_o far_a discovery_n of_o the_o design_n fitz-harris_n be_v engage_v in_o but_o let_v the_o motive_n be_v what_o it_o will_v the_o prosecution_n be_v still_o the_o same_o the_o impeachment_n alter_v not_o whether_o the_o commons_o do_v it_o with_o a_o design_n of_o prosecute_a or_o discover_v i_o shall_v pass_v by_o the_o statute_n he_o quote_v for_o it_o can_v no_o way_n be_v applicable_a to_o our_o business_n because_o it_o only_o lay_v down_o the_o manner_n of_o proceed_v on_o trial_n out_o of_o parliament_n but_o for_o the_o lord_n to_o say_v that_o a_o impeachment_n and_o a_o indictment_n be_v two_o different_a suit_n be_v a_o mere_a quibble_n for_o whether_o this_o criminal_n trial_n be_v by_o indictment_n or_o impeachment_n it_o be_v the_o same_o accusation_n namely_o for_o treason_n and_o the_o prosecution_n in_o both_o court_n which_o be_v real_o and_o true_o the_o suit_n be_v for_o the_o same_o end_n and_o purpose_n that_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o the_o delinquent_n i_o be_o high_o sorry_a to_o see_v a_o man_n of_o great_a knowledge_n and_o understanding_n as_o the_o repute_a author_n of_o this_o paper_n be_v say_v to_o be_v so_o strange_o halt_n in_o his_o intellectual_n as_o to_o assert_v that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o indictment_n and_o a_o impeachment_n because_o they_o be_v both_o accusation_n and_o both_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o end_n namely_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o delinquent_n so_o then_o according_a to_o our_o author_n two_o way_n that_o lead_v to_o london_n one_o of_o which_o come_v from_o the_o north_n and_o the_o other_o from_o the_o south_n be_v not_o real_o two_o different_a way_n because_o they_o be_v both_o way_n and_o both_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o end_n yet_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o traveller_n but_o will_v real_o think_v these_o way_n do_v plain_o differ_v notwithstanding_o they_o be_v both_o way_n and_o both_o lead_n to_o the_o same_o place_n and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o lawyer_n but_o our_o author_n but_o think_v a_o impeachment_n and_o a_o indictment_n two_o different_a suit_n notwithstanding_o they_o be_v both_o accusation_n and_o both_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o thing_n namely_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o delinquent_n for_o that_o that_o make_v they_o differ_v be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v both_o accusation_n and_o aim_n both_o at_o the_o same_o end_n but_o because_o the_o party_n prosecute_a do_v it_o for_o different_a reason_n one_o for_o himself_o the_o other_o for_o the_o king_n and_o see_v to_o prosecute_v for_o the_o king_n and_o for_o one_o self_n be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n it_o clear_o follow_v that_o a_o indictment_n and_o a_o impeachment_n do_v real_o differ_v and_o if_o so_o then_o what_o the_o lord_n assert_v in_o their_o protestation_n be_v not_o a_o mere_a quibble_n but_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o wonderful_a reason_n be_v the_o different_a use_n of_o the_o two_o word_n impeachment_n and_o indictment_n both_o which_o signify_v a_o accusation_n and_o the_o design_n of_o both_o be_v the_o same_o and_o it_o matter_n not_o whether_o punishment_n be_v by_o the_o lord_n or_o by_o the_o judge_n at_o common_a law_n but_o the_o most_o equal_a way_n will_v be_v by_o his_o peer●●●_n by_o who_o he_o may_v have_v the_o most_o equal_a condemnation_n or_o acquittal_n there_o be_v not_o the_o precedent_n that_o come_v up_o to_o or_o be_v parallel_n with_o this_o case_n that_o a_o indictment_n and_o a_o impeachment_n do_v both_o signify_v a_o accusation_n be_v true_a and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o they_o be_v different_a accusation_n for_o one_o be_v the_o king_n and_o the_o other_o the_o people_n and_o see_v a_o act_n of_o the_o king_n do_v real_o differ_v from_o that_o of_o the_o people_n it_o follow_v that_o a_o indictment_n and_o a_o impeachment_n be_v two_o different_a suit_n and_o indeed_o it_o have_v be_v no_o great_a matter_n whether_o fitz-harris_n be_v condemn_v in_o or_o out_o of_o
