aim_v at_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n to_o carry_v on_o their_o design_n that_o the_o lord_n without_o any_o presentment_n upon_o oath_n or_o trial_n by_o jury_n may_v upon_o a_o bare_a information_n

of_o such_o offence_n may_v be_v proper_a for_o parliament_n but_o such_o i_o confess_v i_o know_v none_o and_o to_o make_v that_o a_o crime_n which_o no_o know_v law_n call_v a_o crime_n be_v

what_o the_o law_n be_v by_o the_o judge_n or_o other_o who_o best_o understand_v the_o thing_n in_o question_n for_o if_o otherwise_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o sense_n to_o imagine_v a_o few_o lord_n of_o who_o not_o many_o be_v usual_o skill_v in_o the_o law_n and_o be_v out_o of_o the_o house_n be_v but_o like_o other_o man_n shall_v within_o those_o wall_n as_o it_o be_v by_o inspiration_n be_v the_o supreme_a judicature_n of_o the_o realm_n there_o must_v at_o the_o trial_n of_o a_o peer_n be_v at_o baron_n least_o 12._o or_o above_o who_o have_v ever_o assist_v they_o some_o of_o the_o judge_n to_o advise_v the_o lord_n steward_n and_o they_o what_o the_o law_n be_v who_o come_v up_o to_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n may_v direct_v the_o judge_n who_o have_v spend_v much_o time_n in_o study_v it_o what_o the_o law_n be_v this_o be_v so_o clear_a it_o need_v no_o proof_n else_o i_o can_v show_v where_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o judge_n not_o 10._o take_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v soon_o make_v void_a and_o in_o other_o where_o be_v give_v according_a to_o their_o sense_n it_o remain_v law_n to_o this_o day_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o lord_n alone_o upon_o a_o bare_a information_n for_o a_o trial_n by_o jury_n they_o use_v not_o nor_o ever_o do_v to_o my_o knowledge_n without_o the_o king_n can_v try_v and_o censure_v any_o commoner_n
