and_o proper_a judge_n i_o may_v then_o rational_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v not_o peer_n in_o parliament_n to_o that_o end_n to_o try_v or_o be_v try_v by_o nobleman_n there_o it_o be_v plain_a by_o all_o our_o law-book_n that_o out_o of_o parliament_n no_o such_o privilege_n belong_v to_o they_o for_o first_o out_o of_o parliament_n over_z and_o above_o the_o express_a authority_n of_o
