liberty_n notwithstanding_o they_o often_o bring_v law_n to_o make_v a_o dictator_n who_o have_v a_o unlimited_a power_n nor_o have_v you_o reason_n to_o storm_n with_o this_o parliament_n for_o

and_o that_o they_o make_v up_o the_o customary_a number_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o disavow_v they_o on_o that_o tophick_a some_o other_o reason_n than_o must_v we_o search_v and_o see_v whither_o they_o be_v either_o lawful_o call_v or_o else_o since_o their_o call_v some_o act_n either_o do_v by_o themselves_o or_o other_o have_v in_o law_n dissolve_v they_o but_o for_o the_o

when_o they_o can_v shake_v it_o off_o and_o restore_v themselves_o to_o those_o privilege_n nature_n endow_v they_o with_o and_o therefore_o they_o must_v necessary_o remain_v anauthoritative_a
