to_o vote_n in_o capital_a matter_n and_o that_o chief_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n 1._o by_o the_o roll_n we_o find_v that_o the_o clergy_n do_v not_o only_o depart_v when_o capital_a case_n be_v

and_o not_o to_o have_v any_o respect_n to_o those_o case_n which_o be_v capital_a especial_o see_v they_o do_v always_o in_o such_o case_n absent_v themselves_o in_o former_a time_n without_o make_v any_o protestation_n 2._o admit_v that_o the_o clergy_n do_v intend_v that_o capital_a case_n as_o well_o as_o other_o which_o be_v not_o capital_a shall_v be_v within_o the_o salvo_n of_o their_o

incorporate_v long_o ago_o into_o the_o triple_a crown_n as_o for_o that_o clause_n of_o the_o protestation_n for_o the_o validity_n of_o all_o such_o transaction_n as_o shall_v happen_v to_o pass_v in_o their_o absence_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o be_v to_o very_a much_o purpose_n 1._o because_o that_o without_o any_o proviso_n the_o proceed_n of_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n

wherever_o the_o assent_n and_o agreement_n of_o any_o person_n or_o person_n be_v requisite_a for_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o that_o thing_n to_o which_o the_o

at_o all_o if_o therefore_o the_o assent_n of_o the_o prelate_n be_v indispensable_o necessary_a to_o the_o perfection_n of_o every_o judgement_n and_o bill_n that_o pass_v the_o house_n of_o lord_n
