but_o well_o know_v they_o to_o be_v so_o and_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o mistake_n in_o the_o law_n that_o during_o the_o continuance_n of_o a_o parliament_n though_o it_o be_v prorogue_v yet_o if_o not_o dissolve_v a_o peer_n can_v be_v try_v but_o by_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n this_o certain_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a doctrine_n and_o be_v not_o only_o against_o the_o reason_n and_o
