here_o it_o be_v worth_a the_o observe_n before_o i_o pass_v over_o this_o act_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o whereby_o it_o be_v endeavour_v to_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n that_o in_o their_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n there_o be_v need_n of_o a_o act_n to_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o by_o this_o act_n of_o they_o they_o do_v implicit_o grant_v that_o
