will_v have_v be_v that_o the_o parliament_n will_v be_v please_v that_o a_o bill_n be_v prepare_v for_o peace_n and_o union_n which_o may_v bear_v some_o such_o title_n a_o explanatory_a act_n for_o

of_o common_a prayer_n and_o of_o order_v priest_n and_o deacon_n there_o be_v no_o considerate_a man_n of_o the_o parliament_n ever_o i_o hope_v understand_v that_o these_o book_n be_v in_o every_o
