mame_o that_o justice_n shall_v not_o be_v delay_v nor_o deny_v will_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n and_o in_o such_o a_o case_n a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o prison_n for_o ever_o on_o the_o other_o side_n

it_o there_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n like_a to_o follow_v the_o do_v it_o much_o the_o not_o do_v it_o i_o say_v not_o to_o commit_v they_o and_o we_o not_o prosecute_v for_o that_o be_v delay_n of_o justice_n qu._n but_o why_o do_v the_o lord_n refuse_v ans._n though_o i_o have_v great_a respect_n to_o the_o lord_n yet_o to_o clear_v something_o in_o point_n of_o privilege_n the_o lord_n have_v the_o same_o privilege_n with_o we_o in_o point_n of_o speech_n their_o member_n etc._n etc._n as_o they_o be_v essential_a to_o pass_v law_n but_o that_o great_a privilege_n which_o they_o often_o assumo_fw-la as_o peer_n be_v as_o the_o king_n be_v there_o present_a in_o the_o high_a court_n how_o then_o will_v it_o fall_v out_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o privilege_n if_o the_o king_n be_v there_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o the_o lord_n as_o peer_n can_v pretend_v to_o for_o the_o king_n have_v often_o sit_v there_o not_o only_o in_o pass_v bill_n but_o in_o judgement_n have_v this_o charge_n then_o come_v before_o the_o king_n there_o it_o have_v be_v reason_n if_o the_o king_n shall_v have_v say_v i_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o this_o treason_n be_v we_o must_v then_o have_v tell_v it_o because_o he_o who_o it_o concern_v require_v it_o or_o if_o we_o desire_v commitment_n he_o who_o can_v release_n or_o pardon_v he_o may_v say_v let_v he_o be_v bail_v the_o lord_n indeed_o retain_v this_o privilege_n but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o king_n be_v right_a not_o as_o peer_n now_o we_o have_v carry_v a_o charge_n if_o the_o lord_n bail_v he_o i_o know_v not_o what_o will_v follow_v for_o no_o example_n can_v be_v give_v of_o it_o and_o i_o think_v they_o will_v not_o do_v it_o if_o the_o king_n do_v not_o direct_v it_o on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o will_v be_v glad_a we_o may_v be_v no_o more_o trouble_v than_o be_v necessary_a because_o other_o be_v listen_v what_o we_o do_v and_o think_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o case_n therefore_o i_o be_o not_o for_o delay_n but_o satisfy_v other_o that_o what_o we_o have_v do_v be_v not_o bare_o for_o imprison_v the_o earl_n of_o clarendon_n but_o for_o justice_n and_o if_o you_o go_v this_o way_n give_v the_o lord_n the_o reason_n why_o we_o send_v the_o charge_n as_o we_o do_v and_o yet_o keep_v up_o their_o privilege_n and_o declare_v so_o to_o they_o but_o than_o we_o must_v go_v up_o with_o more_o than_o that_o head_n on_o which_o we_o resolve_v to_o impeach_v of_o treason_n for_o your_o article_n must_v be_v so_o form_v as_o to_o make_v it_o a_o charge_n sit_v to_o be_v answer_v

there_o be_v discovery_n and_o betray_v of_o the_o king_n counsel_n to_o his_o enemy_n and_o if_o you_o leave_v it_o there_o those_o who_o scruple_n do_v any_o thing_n because_o particular_a treason_n
