of_o the_o court_n but_o here_o the_o parliament_n be_v first_o possess_v of_o the_o cause_n which_o the_o inferior_a court_n can_v take_v out_o of_o their_o hand_n a_o impeachment_n differ_v also_o

and_o it_o must_v come_v to_o be_v try_v per_n pais_fw-fr whether_o the_o offence_n be_v the_o same_o or_o not_o then_o the_o objection_n to_o the_o generality_n be_v not_o to_o the_o substance_n but_o rather_o a_o objection_n to_o the_o form_n on_o their_o side_n because_o the_o plea_n allege_v the_o substance_n that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o same_o treason_n which_o have_v not_o mr_n attorney_n demur_v but_o take_v issue_n on_o must_v have_v be_v try_v per_n pais_fw-fr to_o speak_v to_o the_o general_a allegation_n that_o he_o be_v impeach_v for_o treason_n and_o not_o say_v

and_o then_o the_o question_n will_v be_v what_o impeachment_n will_v take_v away_o the_o jurisdiction_n and_o there_o can_v be_v but_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o at_o large_a where_o the_o offence_n

then_o it_o be_v for_o he_o must_v not_o say_v it_o be_v more_o particular_a than_o the_o course_n of_o the_o court_n do_v make_v it_o therefore_o he_o have_v no_o other_o way_n by_o the_o law_n to_o

we_o must_v permit_v the_o party_n to_o plead_v as_o he_o can_v and_o help_v himself_o by_o the_o averment_n then_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o a_o impeachment_n general_o be_v good_a or_o no_o
