be_v call_v to_o parliament_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o tenure_n as_o they_o be_v all_o until_o the_o time_n of_o king_n richard_n the_o second_o can_v have_v no_o trial_n by_o their_o peer_n because_o they_o have_v no_o place_n in_o parliament_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o possession_n or_o temporal_a barony_n and_o second_o the_o bishop_n as_o before_o be_v prove_v be_v account_v noble_n and_o thereupon_o may_v challenge_v their_o place_n in_o parliament_n not_o only_a ratione_fw-la officii_fw-la as_o ancient_o before_o the_o time_n of_o william_n the_o conqueror_n but_o also_o ratione_fw-la nobilitatis_fw-la since_o they_o be_v rank_v among_o the_o baron_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o tenure_n other_o perhaps_o may_v give_v this_o reason_n that_o bishop_n in_o the_o former_a time_n be_v debar_v from_o marriage_n and_o that_o now_o hold_v their_o estate_n and_o honour_n only_o for_o term_n of_o life_n they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o transmit_v either_o unto_o their_o posterity_n which_o possible_o may_v make_v the_o law_n less_o tender_a of_o they_o than_o they_o may_v be_v otherwise_o but_o than_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o the_o wife_n and_o widow_n of_o the_o temporal_a lord_n who_o be_v either_o barren_a or_o past_a hope_n of_o child_n shall_v notwithstanding_o be_v try_v by_o their_o peer_n according_a to_o the_o statute_n of_o henry_n the_o

either_o live_v unmarried_a or_o continue_v childless_a must_v he_o be_v therefore_o make_v incapable_a of_o a_o trial_n by_o the_o peer_n of_o the_o realm_n because_o his_o honour_n and_o his_o

and_z thomas_z cranmer_z archbishop_z of_o canterbury_n but_o than_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o none_o but_o fisher_n suffer_v death_n on_o that_o account_n whether_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o illegality_n in_o their_o proceed_n or_o in_o reference_n to_o their_o high_a and_o holy_a calling_n it_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v and_o second_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o though_o in_o some_o confusion_n and_o disorder_n of_o time_n such_o precedent_n may_v be_v produce_v as_o in_o matter_n of_o fact_n yet_o the_o case_n be_v not_o altogether_o so_o clear_a in_o point_n of_o law_n as_o not_o to_o leave_v the_o matter_n doubtful_a as_o we_o hear_v before_o and_o that_o it_o be_v conceive_v by_o some_o learned_a man_n of_o that_o profession_n that_o if_o those_o bishop_n have_v desire_v to_o be_v try_v by_o their_o peer_n it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v deny_v they_o in_o a_o course_n of_o justice_n and_o therefore_o three_o we_o observe_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o hereford_n and_o ely_n do_v trust_v so_o much_o to_o their_o dependence_n on_o the_o pope_n and_o their_o exemption_n from_o the_o power_n of_o all_o secular_a judge_n that_o they_o refuse_v absolute_o to_o be_v
