that_o will_v at_o last_o be_v so_o by_o my_o consent_n but_o i_o demand_v quaere_fw-la what_o equity_n or_o reason_n be_v there_o that_o those_o person_n who_o murder_v the_o father_n and_o be_v

with_o those_o people_n that_o declare_v they_o will_v keep_v he_o out_o if_o they_o can_v 2._o whether_o this_o parliament_n first_o undertake_v and_o prosecute_v the_o war_n with_o the_o late_a
