that_o they_o will_v be_v a_o court_n or_o not_o a_o court_n to_o serve_v a_o present_a purpose_n then_o sir_n william_n jones_n speak_v to_o this_o effect_n indictment_n be_v bring_v against_o the_o

find_v the_o lord_n have_v determine_v a_o great_a point_n the_o lord_n spiritual_a as_o well_o as_o temporal_a have_v vote_v the_o refusal_n of_o the_o impeachment_n of_o fitz-harris_n which_o we_o own_v not_o in_o this_o judicature_n nor_o i_o hope_v never_o shall_v and_o we_o be_v deny_v justice_n by_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a who_o have_v no_o right_n to_o vote_n this_o be_v a_o double_a act_n of_o injustice_n let_v we_o then_o vote_n that_o the_o commons_o have_v a_o right_a to_o impeach_v in_o capital_a case_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v deny_v we_o justice_n in_o refuse_v the_o impeachment_n in_o a_o parliamentary_a way_n at_o a_o conferrence_n show_v how_o unwarrantable_a the_o lord_n action_n have_v be_v and_o if_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o parl._n follow_v it_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o those_o man_n who_o will_v not_o hear_v our_o reason_n sir_n francis_n winnington_n back_v this_o motion_n and_o say_v this_o impeachment_n be_v not_o a_o ordinary_a accusation_n but_o it_o relate_v to_o our_o religion_n and_o property_n and_o how_o the_o bishop_n come_v to_o stifle_v this_o let_v god_n and_o the_o world_n judge_n if_o the_o lord_n will_v vote_n that_o the_o commons_o shall_v not_o impeach_v he_o they_o may_v as_o well_o vote_v they_o shall_v not_o be_v prosecutor_n this_o be_v a_o new_a plot_n against_o the_o protestant_n of_o which_o f._n harris_n be_v accuse_v and_o we_o must_v not_o impeach_v he_o in_o this_o the_o lord_n say_v we_o must_v not_o hear_v it_o i_o desire_v you_o will_v come_v to_o some_o vote_n you_o be_v willing_a to_o discover_v the_o plot_n if_o you_o can_v if_o our_o time_n be_v short_a as_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v pray_v come_v to_o some_o resolution_n to_o assert_v your_o right_n a_o little_a while_n ago_o when_o the_o duke_n be_v present_v for_o a_o papist_n the_o grand-jury_n be_v dismiss_v by_o the_o chief_a justice_n this_o seem_v as_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v justify_v the_o judge_n proceed_n by_o their_o own_o if_o not_o man_n doubt_v our_o right_n pray_v vote_v it_o sir_n robert_n howard_n then_o speak_v to_o this_o effect_n this_o of_o fitz-harris_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o more_o dangerous_a breath_n then_o usual_a a_o breath_n fit_a to_o be_v stifle_v there_o be_v something_o in_o this_o more_o than_o ordinary_a if_o there_o be_v so_o sacred_a a_o respect_n to_o common_a trial_n in_o inferior_a court_n it_o be_v strange_a that_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o shall_v be_v below_o a_o common-jury_n it_o seem_v the_o lord_n value_n fitz-harris_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o we_o if_o dangerfield_n will_v speak_v what_o he_o know_v nothing_o of_o mercy_n be_v too_o big_a for_o he_o but_o they_o hurry_v fitz-harris_n away_o to_o the_o tower_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o confess_v in_o newgate_n be_v you_o so_o lose_v that_o you_o have_v no_o mercy_n leave_v for_o the_o protestant_a religion_n we_o hear_v that_o the_o french_a ambassador_n have_v a_o hand_n in_o this_o plot_n which_o a_o jury_n will_v not_o inquire_v into_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o by_o the_o carriage_n of_o this_o i_o have_v enlarge_v my_o suspicion_n for_o i_o can_v but_o suspect_v unusual_a way_n something_o depend_v upon_o this_o man_n sure_a we_o must_v not_o lay_v down_o all_o prosecution_n of_o the_o plot_n and_o say_v that_o the_o protestant_a religion_n shall_v have_v no_o mercy_n fitz-harris_n may_v merit_v mercy_n by_o confession_n and_o if_o his_o breath_n be_v stop_v by_o the_o lord_n i_o be_o sorry_a that_o people_n will_v say_v if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o lds._n f._n h._n may_v have_v discover_v all_o the_o conspiracy_n and_o the_o protestant_a religion_n may_v have_v be_v save_v mr_n sergeant_n maynard_n then_o add_v we_o all_o know_v what_o art_n and_o craft_n have_v be_v use_v to_o hide_v the_o plot_n it_o begin_v with_o murder_n perjury_n and_o subornation_n this_o of_o fitz-harris_n be_v a_o second_o part_n of_o it_o the_o lord_n deny_v to_o receive_v our_o impeachment_n in_o effect_n they_o make_v this_o no_o parliament_n if_o we_o be_v the_o prosecutor_n and_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v our_o accusation_n it_o be_v strange_a when_o their_o own_o life_n as_o well_o as_o we_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o plot_n when_o all_o be_v at_o stake_n we_o must_v not_o prosecute_v if_o this_o be_v so_o holland_n and_o flanders_n must_v submit_v to_o the_o french_a and_o they_o run_v over_o all_o this_o be_v a_o strange_a breach_n of_o privilege_n and_o tend_v to_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o king_n person_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n sir_n thomas_n player_n then_o say_v this_o of_o fitz-harris_n be_v a_o considerable_a confirmation_n of_o the_o former_a plot_n i_o call_v it_o the_o old_a plot_n but_o it_o be_v still_o new_a upon_o we_o when_o he_o incline_v to_o discover_v what_o he_o know_v he_o be_v fetch_v to_o white-hall_n and_o send_v to_o the_o tower_n and_o so_o we_o be_v deprive_v of_o all_o further_a hope_n of_o discovery_n and_o now_o they_o stop_v his_o mouth_n i_o move_v therefore_o that_o you_o will_v declare_v
