of_o the_o english_a subject_n in_o the_o right_n of_o parliament_n 2._o that_o the_o occasion_n of_o this_o war_n be_v give_v by_o those_o that_o by_o injurious_a calumniation_n and_o false_a surmise_n of_o the_o parliament_n intention_n to_o lessen_v or_o abate_v his_o majesty_n royal_a prerogative_n for_o the_o future_a have_v withdraw_v his_o majesty_n person_n and_o affection_n from_o
