the_o general_a act_n for_o all_o england_n be_v it_o must_v be_v either_o because_o of_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o act_n or_o the_o manner_n of_o proceed_n thereupon_o or_o some_o other_o peculiar_a

the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o commissioner_n in_o the_o aforesaid_a act_n for_o wales_n yea_o all_o that_o meet_v to_o act_v by_o virtue_n thereof_o except_o two_o person_n be_v not_o member_n of_o

there_o be_v no_o provision_n in_o the_o act_n to_o enforce_v they_o and_o during_o the_o three_o year_n time_n this_o act_n continue_v notwithstanding_o the_o many_o hundred_o that_o be_v eject_v
