to_o king_n not_o only_o the_o example_n of_o such_o jurisdiction_n but_o the_o prerogative_n also_o of_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n what_o need_v all_o this_o ado_n will_v some_o say_v to_o sift_v out_o what_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o writ_n for_o the_o election_n of_o the_o commons_o to_o parliament_n since_o it_o be_v certain_a though_o the_o writ_n do_v not_o yet_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n give_v sufficient_a power_n for_o all_o proceed_n of_o the_o two_o house_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o what_o slight_a esteem_n soever_o be_v make_v of_o the_o writ_n yet_o in_o all_o other_o case_n the_o original_a writ_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o whole_a business_n or_o action_n and_o to_o vary_v in_o substance_n from_o the_o writ_n make_v a_o nullity_n in_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o proceed_n thereupon_o and_o where_o a_o commissioner_n exercise_v more_o power_n than_o be_v warrant_v by_o his_o commission_n every_o such_o act_n be_v void_a and_o in_o many_o case_n punishable_a yet_o we_o will_v lay_v aside_o the_o writ_n and_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n the_o task_n be_v the_o more_o difficult_a for_o that_o we_o be_v not_o tell_v what_o the_o number_n of_o privilege_n be_v or_o which_o they_o be_v some_o do_v think_v that_o as_o there_o be_v dormant_a article_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o

in_o a_o generality_n to_o discourse_n of_o the_o quality_n or_o condition_n of_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n and_o to_o confine_v ourselves_o to_o these_o three_o point_n 1._o that_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n give_v no_o power_n but_o only_o help_v to_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o power_n give_v by_o the_o writ_n 2._o that_o the_o freeholders_n by_o their_o election_n give_v no_o

house_n of_o commons_o to_o do_v any_o act_n but_o by_o take_v away_o from_o the_o freeholders_n and_o other_o subject_n the_o power_n of_o arrest_n the_o commons_o be_v the_o better_o enable_v to_o
