some_o thing_n grant_v on_o both_o side_n as_o 1._o that_o bishop_n do_v sit_v in_o parliament_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o barony_n and_o be_v bind_v to_o serve_v the_o king_n there_o from_o this_o

which_o by_o the_o statute_n 25_o h._n 8._o c._n 12._o which_o be_v repeal_v 1_o and_o 2_o phil._n and_o mar._n but_o revive_v 1_o eliz._n be_v still_o of_o force_n where_o it_o be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n which_o we_o be_v sure_o this_o branch_n of_o it_o restrain_v bishop_n from_o judge_v capital_o be_v not_o so_o far_o from_o it_o that_o it_o be_v confirm_v and_o strengthen_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n 3._o the_o three_o particular_a in_o which_o he_o say_v all_o agree_v be_v that_o they_o have_v their_o vote_n in_o bill_n of_o attainder_n act_v in_o their_o legislative_a capacity_n which_o be_v as_o much_o a_o case_n of_o blood_n as_o the_o other_o and_o perhaps_o as_o much_o forbid_a by_o the_o canon_n but_o i_o desire_v this_o worthy_a person_n to_o consider_v that_o the_o practice_n of_o parliament_n be_v the_o law_n of_o parliament_n and_o be_v the_o command_a law_n for_o regulate_v the_o proceed_n of_o parliament_n and_o that_o have_v overrule_v this_o point_n that_o in_o the_o make_n of_o a_o law_n every_o freeman_n of_o the_o kingdom_n do_v give_v his_o consent_n either_o explicit_o if_o he_o be_v a_o member_n of_o either_o house_n or_o implicit_o by_o his_o representative_a for_o every_o freeman_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v there_o present_a or_o represent_v and_o it_o be_v the_o fundamental_a constitution_n of_o our_o english_a freedom_n that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v bind_v by_o any_o law_n but_o what_o himself_o have_v consent_v to_o now_o a_o bill_n of_o attainder_n be_v as_o much_o a_o law_n as_o any_o statute_n law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n therefore_o bishop_n have_v act_v in_o a_o legislative_a capacity_n to_o judge_v and_o condemn_v capital_o as_o several_a precedent_n we_o have_v of_o it_o in_o henry_n the_o eight_n time_n but_o not_o in_o a_o judicial_a capacity_n and_o to_o say_v the_o canon_n law_n prohibit_v one_o as_o much_o as_o the_o other_o the_o statute_n of_o 25_o h._n 8._o clear_v that_o point_n which_o take_v away_o the_o force_n of_o the_o canon_n in_o the_o one_o not_o to_o abridge_v member_n of_o parliament_n from_o vote_v in_o the_o legislative_a way_n and_o strengthen_v it_o in_o the_o other_o forbid_v bishop_n to_o vote_n judicial_o in_o case_n of_o blood_n yet_o if_o you_o will_v have_v i_o deliver_v you_o free_o my_o opinion_n in_o it_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o abuse_n creep_v in_o since_o henry_n the_o eight_n time_n for_o before_o none_o be_v judge_v by_o bill_n but_o such_o as_o have_v be_v slay_v in_o open_a war_n or_o try_v condemn_v and_o execute_v by_o commission_n and_o then_o the_o proceed_n bring_v into_o parliament_n and_o there_o approve_v of_o and_o the_o attainder_n confirm_v but_o under_o henry_n the_o eight_o several_a person_n be_v
