to_o consider_v of_o the_o e._n of_o d_n case_n in_o particular_a but_o before_o i_o shall_v handle_v it_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o this_o that_o wherever_o i_o have_v or_o shall_v mention_v peer_n or_o lord_n of_o parliament_n i_o intend_v as_o well_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a as_o the_o lord_n temporal_a for_o i_o be_o very_a well_o satisfy_v now_o as_o i_o understand_v you_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a have_v as_o much_o right_n in_o virtue_n of_o their_o temporal_a barony_n to_o sit_v in_o capital_a case_n as_o the_o temporal_a lord_n can_v pretend_v to_o and_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o criminal_a cause_n handle_v in_o parliament_n where_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a do_v not_o sit_v either_o personal_o or_o by_o proxy_n and_o if_o not_o one_o of_o these_o way_n yet_o undoubted_o they_o upon_o their_o withdraw_n ever_o enter_v their_o protestation_n for_o the_o save_n of_o that_o same_o right_a and_o privilege_n and_o so_o i_o now_o come_v to_o treat_v of_o the_o validity_n of_o the_o e._n of_o d_n pardon_n and_o i_o take_v this_o pardon_v i_o if_o i_o mistake_v to_o be_v his_o case_n the_o e._n of_o d._n be_v impeach_v before_o the_o lord_n case_n e._n of_o d_n case_n by_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n of_o high_a treason_n and_o of_o several_a other_o misdemeanour_n but_o before_o any_o further_a proceed_n in_o proof_n of_o the_o charge_n against_o he_o his_o majesty_n dissolve_v that_o parliament_n and_o upon_o the_o dissolution_n thereof_o the_o king_n grant_v to_o the_o e._n of_o d._n a_o pardon_n of_o all_o treason_n and_o misdemeanour_n whatsoever_o and_o than_o his_o majesty_n call_v another_o parliament_n whereat_o the_o commoner_n exhibit_v new_a article_n of_o the_o same_o treason_n and_o misdemeanour_n against_o the_o say_a earl_n whereupon_o he_o plead_v the_o say_a pardon_n to_o this_o second_o impeachment_n in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n now_o the_o question_n will_v be_v the_o query_n whether_o this_o pardon_v be_v good_a or_o not_o the_o resolution_n whereof_o will_v depend_v on_o a_o answer_n give_v to_o this_o query_n follow_v viz._n whether_o his_o majesty_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o prerogative-royal_a can_v pardon_v in_o the_o interval_n of_o two_o parliament_n those_o crime_n whereof_o the_o e._n of_o d._n be_v impeach_v in_o the_o former_a parliament_n i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o his_o majesty_n can_v by_o his_o prerogative-royal_a grant_v such_o a_o pardon_n i_o presume_v it_o will_v be_v admit_v that_o have_v this_o pardon_n be_v purchase_v before_o any_o impeachment_n in_o parliament_n it_o have_v be_v good_a but_o the_o grant_n of_o it_o after_o article_n exhibit_v in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n make_v the_o doubt_n which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v thus_o to_o clear_v the_o commons_o it_o be_v true_a as_o the_o general_a inquisitor_n of_o the_o realm_n have_v authority_n from_o the_o king_n to_o examine_v any_o crime_n be_v it_o treason_n felony_n oppression_n bribery_n extortion_n or_o the_o like_a commit_v by_o a_o lord_n of_o parliament_n spiritual_a or_o temporal_a and_o if_o they_o find_v by_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o house_n the_o charge_n to_o be_v true_a they_o have_v power_n to_o transmit_v the_o same_o to_o the_o lord_n with_o the_o witness_n and_o proof_n as_o for_o the_o peer_n they_o be_v the_o supreme_a
