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

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

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

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
