perpetrate_v by_o a_o indifferent_a honest_a lawful_a english_a jury_n upon_o a_o indictment_n find_v by_o the_o grand_a inquest_n than_o thus_o to_o kill_v behead_v such_o malefactor_n in_o ireland_n

in_o this_o case_n and_o trial_n the_o three_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o if_o irish_a peer_n have_v be_v within_o this_o law_n there_o be_v so_o many_o rebellion_n 3._o in_o ireland_n since_o

only_o avoid_v their_o trial_n here_o 2_o because_o some_o irish_a rebel_n as_o great_a as_o magwire_n or_o any_o of_o their_o peer_n in_o power_n and_o estate_n have_v be_v heretofore_o try_v and_o
