against_o this_o we_o shall_v argue_v from_o the_o very_a original_a creation_n of_o parliamentary_a baron_n which_o it_o record_v thus_o henry_n the_o three_o out_o of_o the_o multitude_n of_o

the_o second_o and_o some_o king_n after_o he_o create_v baron_n by_o their_o patent_n and_o put_v on_o of_o robe_n and_o both_o these_o form_n be_v in_o use_n while_o that_o order_n and_o

not_o titulary_a baron_n but_o parliamentary_a baron_n only_o according_a to_o the_o first_o constitution_n be_v

honour_v with_o these_o privilege_n when_o any_o baron_n cease_v to_o be_v parliamentary_a his_o privildge_n must_v cease_v to_o say_v therefore_o that_o mere_o titular_a baron_n be_v capable_a of_o this_o privilege_n be_v to_o say_v that_o henry_n the_o three_o when_o he_o institute_v this_o order_n of_o parliamentary_a baons_n in_o contradistiction_n to_o other_o baron_n give_v both_o alike_a

the_o rule_n and_o ground_n of_o true_a honour_n the_o second_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o earl_n be_v not_o a_o subject_a qualify_v as_o that_o statute_n import_v may_v be_v offer_v from_o well_o ground_v reason_n thus_o when_o the_o ground_n of_o a_o privilege_n be_v take_v away_o needs_o must_v it_o be_v conceive_v the_o privilege_n itself_o be_v therewith_o take_v away_o but_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o privilege_n be_v take_v away_o ergo._n for_o the_o minor_a proposition_n the_o privilege_n confer_v by_o statute_n upon_o noble_n baron_n and_o peer_n above_o ordinary_a sort_n of_o man_n must_v needs_o have_v its_o ground_n in_o that_o high_a capacity_n and_o native_a right_n the_o noble_n be_v invest_v with_o to_o serve_v the_o commonwealth_n in_o more_o eminent_a manner_n then_o ordinary_a man_n and_o to_o evince_v this_o that_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o ground_n of_o that_o privilege_n therefore_o great_a officer_n of_o state_n about_o the_o king_n who_o be_v no_o peer_n yet_o of_o great_a usefulness_n be_v privilege_v also_o by_o this_o statute_n as_o well_o as_o lord_n and_o noble_n of_o the_o land_n it_o be_v think_v meet_v that_o man_n of_o eminent_a service_n above_o other_o man_n shall_v be_v endow_v with_o privilege_n above_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o man_n but_o now_o this_o ground_n fail_v upon_o the_o abolish_n the_o house_n of_o lord_n their_o high_a capacity_n for_o public_a service_n be_v take_v away_o how_o can_v it_o be_v therefore_o but_o the_o privilege_n also_o must_v fail_v with_o it_o shall_v my_o lord_n the_o plaintiff_n be_v in_o a_o capacity_n by_o a_o privilege_n to_o undo_v his_o poor_a neighbour_n and_o not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o preserve_v they_o or_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o parliament_n have_v take_v away_o from_o peerage_n its_o chief_a power_n and_o capacity_n to_o do_v good_a and_o leave_v nothing_o but_o a_o power_n to_o do_v hurt_v a_o sting_n to_o wound_v but_o no_o balm_n to_o

the_o final_a cause_n or_o end_v specify_v in_o the_o statute_n whereupon_o this_o privilege_n be_v give_v the_o noble_n i_o reason_v thus_o if_o the_o end_n or_o final_a cause_n for_o which_o this_o

it_o be_v express_v plain_o in_o the_o statute_n to_o prevent_v disturbance_n and_o quick_a subversion_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n scandal_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n and_o horrible_a forgery_n that_o

between_o two_o chief_a magistrate_n there_o endanger_v the_o ruin_n of_o the_o whole_a commonwealth_n and_o so_o it_o be_v suppose_v by_o this_o statute_n that_o contest_v between_o the_o noble_n and_o person_n in_o great_a office_n may_v haply_o endanger_v the_o commonwealth_n by_o civil_a war_n and_o therefore_o to_o prevent_v such_o difference_n apt_a to_o be_v foment_v by_o false_a report_n carry_v to_o and_o fro_o to_o incense_v the_o spirit_n of_o great_a man_n one_o against_o the_o other_o therefore_o i_o say_v be_v this_o statute_n make_v but_o now_o that_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n be_v abolish_v and_o the_o peer_n cease_v to_o be_v chief_a senator_n and_o officer_n of_o state_n and_o have_v no_o such_o public_a trust_n as_o then_o the_o danger_n be_v not_o now_o
