of_o all_o his_o grant_n order_n commission_n patent_n under_o great_a and_o little_a seal_n and_o every_o court_n in_o westminster-hall_n have_v always_o think_v its_o authority_n sufficient_a to_o

the_o king_n that_o they_o will_v not_o suppose_v he_o to_o will_v any_o thing_n otherwise_o than_o as_o the_o law_n direct_v or_o allow_v he_o and_o thence_o it_o be_v receive_v as_o a_o maxim_n

if_o the_o last_o prorogation_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o law_n it_o be_v a_o mere_a nullity_n it_o be_v worth_a your_o remember_n that_o in_o the_o 38_o chap._n of_o the_o great_a charter_n

for_o hold_v parliament_n every_o year_n it_o be_v judge_v to_o be_v nought_o or_o no_o prorogation_n by_o 30_o or_o 40_o parliament_n which_o have_v confirm_v and_o re-enacted_n the_o same_o

intermit_v parliament_n not_o only_o for_o more_o than_o a_o year_n but_o for_o many_o year_n but_o these_o seem_v not_o to_o understand_v the_o question_n which_o be_v of_o the_o validity_n in_o
