and_o by_o the_o council-table_n the_o court_n of_o star-chamber_n and_o high-commission_n and_o in_o convocation_n and_o because_o many_o more_o thing_n so_o do_v be_v to_o come_v in_o the_o next_o head_n concern_v the_o law_n i_o humble_o crave_v leave_v for_o avoid_v tedious_a repetition_n to_o say_v it_o once_o for_o all_o that_o no_o act_n do_v by_o any_o of_o these_o either_o by_o full_a consent_n or_o major_a part_n which_o involve_v the_o rest_n aught_o to_o be_v charge_v single_o against_o i_o and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n follow_v 1._o first_o because_o this_o be_v not_o peccare_fw-la cum_fw-la multis_fw-la for_o they_o meet_v not_o there_o in_o a_o relation_n as_o multi_fw-la but_o as_o vnum_fw-la aggregatum_fw-la as_o body_n make_v one_o by_o law_n and_o therefore_o the_o act_n do_v by_o they_o be_v act_n of_o those_o body_n not_o of_o any_o one_o man_n sit_v in_o they_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n a_o parliament_n be_v one_o body_n consist_v of_o many_o and_o the_o act_n do_v by_o it_o be_v act_n of_o parliament_n for_o which_o shall_v any_o of_o they_o prove_v amiss_o no_o one_o man_n be_v answerable_a though_o many_o time_n one_o man_n bring_v in_o the_o bill_n 2._o second_o because_o i_o can_v sway_v no_o man_n vote_n in_o any_o of_o those_o place_n though_o this_o have_v be_v often_o urge_v against_o i_o as_o a_o over_o potent_a member_n for_o my_o vote_n be_v either_o last_o or_o last_o save_o one_o in_o all_o these_o place_n so_o i_o can_v not_o lead_v nor_o be_v there_o any_o so_o much_o as_o show_v of_o proof_n offer_v that_o i_o move_v or_o prepare_v any_o man_n to_o a_o sentence_n one_o way_n or_o other_o in_o any_o one_o of_o these_o court_n or_o place_n 3._o three_o because_o in_o those_o court_n of_o judicature_n there_o be_v the_o assistance_n of_o able_a judge_n lawyer_n and_o divine_n for_o direction_n and_o how_o can_v that_o be_v a_o treason_n in_o i_o which_o be_v not_o make_v so_o much_o as_o a_o misdemeanour_n in_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n 4._o four_o because_o the_o act_n of_o this_o present_a parliament_n which_o have_v take_v away_o the_o star-chamber_n and_o the_o high-commission_n and_o bound_v the_o council-table_n look_v forward_o only_a and_o punish_v no_o man_n for_o any_o act_n past_a much_o less_o do_v it_o make_v any_o man_n action_n do_v in_o they_o to_o be_v treason_n and_o i_o be_o no_o way_n exclude_v from_o the_o benefit_n of_o that_o act._n 5._o last_o because_o in_o all_o my_o proceed_n both_o in_o the_o high-commission_n and_o elsewhere_o i_o keep_v strict_o to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n establish_v by_o law_n against_o both_o papist_n and_o other_o sectary_n and_o under_o this_o government_n and_o doctrine_n of_o this_o church_n it_o have_v please_v god_n now_o for_o above_o fourscore_o year_n together_o to_o bless_v this_o kingdom_n and_o people_n above_o other_o nation_n and_o i_o pray_v god_n if_o we_o forsake_v the_o one_o it_o prove_v not_o a_o cause_n to_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o other_o and_o now_o mr._n speaker_n i_o shall_v follow_v this_o worthy_a gentleman_n as_o ii_o he_o go_v on_o to_o the_o
