more_o force_n but_o they_o will_v receive_v satisfactory_a answer_n the_o one_o be_v that_o if_o they_o may_v remove_v bishop_n they_o may_v as_o well_o next_o time_n remove_v baron_n and_o earl_n for_o answer_n the_o reason_n be_v not_o the_o same_o the_o one_o sit_v by_o a_o honour_n invest_v in_o their_o blood_n and_o hereditary_a which_o though_o it_o be_v in_o the_o king_n to_o grant_v

their_o office_n they_o sit_v not_o 2._o their_o sit_v be_v not_o so_o essential_a for_o law_n have_v be_v and_o may_v be_v make_v they_o be_v all_o exclude_v but_o it_o can_v never_o be_v show_v that_o ever_o there_o be_v law_n make_v by_o the_o king_n and_o they_o the_o lord_n and_o earl_n exclude_v the_o other_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o this_o bill_n alter_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o house_n and_o innovation_n which_o shake_v foundation_n be_v dangerous_a i_o answer_v first_o that_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o error_n in_o the_o foundation_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v find_v and_o the_o master-builder_n be_v meet_v together_o they_o may_v nay_o they_o ought_v rather_o to_o amend_v it_o then_o to_o suffer_v it_o to_o run_v on_o still_o to_o the_o prejudice_n and_o danger_n of_o the_o whole_a structure_n 2._o second_o i_o say_v this_o be_v not_o fundamental_a to_o this_o house_n for_o it_o have_v stand_v without_o they_o and_o do_v all_o that_o appertain_v to_o the_o power_n thereof_o without_o they_o yea_o they_o be_v whole_o exclude_v and_o that_o which_o have_v be_v do_v for_o a_o time_n at_o the_o king_n pleasure_n may_v be_v do_v with_o as_o little_a
