right_n which_o a_o man_n have_v in_o this_o land_n or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o world_n but_o his_o right_n be_v such_o that_o if_o it_o be_v keep_v from_o he_o he_o have_v a_o mean_n to_o come_v

if_o you_o impeach_v not_o there_o your_o judicial_a power_n will_v be_v very_o little_a if_o a_o lord_n be_v to_o be_v try_v for_o treason_n the_o lord_n be_v but_o his_o juror_n and_o though_o they_o try_v he_o upon_o honour_n not_o upon_o oath_n yet_o they_o be_v no_o more_o his_o tryer_n than_o as_o out_o of_o parliament_n the_o judge_n of_o treason_n in_o the_o lord_n house_n be_v constitute_v by_o the_o king_n as_o a_o lord_n high-steward_n and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o judge_n therefore_o i_o know_v not_o the_o judicature_n they_o speak_v so_o much_o of_o there_o be_v another_o for_o writ_n of_o error_n which_o be_v there_o determine_v but_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o that_o be_v very_o little_a for_o the_o inconveniency_n of_o the_o lord_n determine_v what_o can_v not_o be_v determine_v in_o other_o court_n be_v so_o find_v out_o 25_o eliz._n they_o be_v to_o be_v bring_v first_o into_o the_o exchequer_n chamber_n there_o be_v another_o way_n when_o person_n

matter_n of_o jurisdiction_n which_o they_o talk_v of_o be_v not_o such_o a_o wonderful_a thing_n as_o they_o will_v make_v it_o therefore_o whatever_o we_o shall_v do_v after_o it_o your_o right_n be_v so_o much_o concern_v that_o you_o know_v not_o where_o the_o stay_n will_v be_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o you_o make_v a_o committee_n to_o draw_v up_o a_o protestation_n to_o be_v make_v

a_o general_a impeachment_n be_v against_o law_n and_o i_o think_v it_o will_v appear_v so_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o a_o mittimus_fw-la without_o special_a cause_n be_v legal_a and_o ground_v upon_o the_o petition_n of_o right_n the_o reason_n of_o which_o be_v to_o secure_a man_n against_o commitment_n by_o a_o special_a warrant_n and_o a_o judge_n ought_v not_o to_o discharge_v where_o treason_n be_v allege_v but_o in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v different_a the_o judge_n can_v discharge_v a_o man_n commit_v after_o examination_n but_o the_o lord_n ought_v not_o to_o commit_v a_o man_n except_o there_o be_v particular_a treason_n if_o i_o come_v before_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n and_o say_v i_o accuse_v this_o man_n of_o treason_n will_v any_o wise_a man_n commit_v he_o he_o make_v his_o warrant_n indeed_o but_o he_o that_o accuse_v must_v go_v far_o and_o make_v it_o more_o particular_a and_o the_o special_a matter_n must_v appear_v before_o he_o commit_v and_o this_o be_v the_o present_a case_n the_o common-law_n be_v that_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v commit_v without_o particular_a cause_n because_o no_o man_n can_v commit_v in_o capital_a matter_n without_o take_v examination_n before_o hand_n otherwise_o no_o man_n can_v justify_v a_o commitment_n therefore_o i_o be_o not_o satisfy_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o reason_n to_o deny_v the_o commons_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o grand-iury_n to_o present_v but_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o judge_n commitment_n be_v not_o the_o judgement_n but_o in_o order_n to_o it_o and_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o discretionary_a power_n in_o the_o case_n the_o lord_n say_v not_o that_o they_o will_v not_o commit_v but_o that_o they_o be_v not_o satisfy_v to_o do_v it_o without_o special_a matter_n therefore_o
