reason_n in_o the_o world_n it_o shall_v be_v so_o that_o a_o man_n who_o wilful_o and_o contemptuous_o will_v refuse_v to_o appear_v and_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o the_o law_n shall_v at_o least_o not_o receive_v benefit_n and_o advantage_n by_o his_o contempt_n and_o by_o his_o own_o default_n otherwise_o it_o be_v but_o not_o appear_v and_o one_o be_v sure_a never_o to_o have_v any_o thing_n

that_o objection_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n nor_o in_o truth_n have_v i_o hear_v any_o that_o be_v of_o weight_n to_o make_v i_o so_o much_o as_o hesitate_n in_o my_o opinion_n of_o the_o truth_n

have_v endeavour_v to_o make_v out_o to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o other_o as_o first_o that_o the_o parliament_n be_v the_o supreme_a court_n of_o judicature_n to_o reform_v and_o redress_v the_o fail_n of_o inferior_a court_n when_o either_o they_o delay_v justice_n or_o give_v wrong_a judgement_n second_o that_o this_o jurisdiction_n be_v sole_o and_o single_o in_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n three_o that_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n exercise_v this_o jurisdiction_n to_o the_o relief_n of_o those_o who_o be_v aggrieve_v and_o complain_v be_v it_o a_o court_n of_o law_n or_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n they_o complain_v of_o four_o that_o member_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o be_v not_o more_o exempt_a than_o other_o from_o this_o jurisdiction_n when_o they_o be_v concern_v in_o any_o case_n that_o be_v complain_v of_o now_o whither_o or_o no_o i_o have_v perform_v what_o i_o undertake_v and_o say_v that_o which_o will_v satisfy_v those_o who_o will_v be_v satisfy_v other_o must_v judge_n this_o only_a i_o will_v be_v bold_a to_o affirm_v that_o in_o all_o i_o have_v say_v i_o have_v deliver_v the_o truth_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n but_o perhaps_o not_o all_o that_o be_v truth_n upon_o this_o subject_a for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o much_o more_o may_v be_v say_v by_o those_o that_o know_v more_o than_o i_o do_v and_o who_o be_v better_a skill_v in_o the_o ancient_a record_n of_o parliament_n than_o i_o be_o yet_o i_o have_v say_v so_o much_o and_o be_o so_o much_o more_o confirm_v in_o my_o former_a opinion_n and_o belief_n of_o this_o truth_n by_o look_v a_o little_a further_o into_o it_o and_o examine_v it_o more_o narrow_o then_o otherwise_o i_o shall_v have_v do_v if_o it_o have_v not_o of_o late_o be_v question_v and_o strong_o oppose_v
