must_v we_o believe_v the_o parliament_n guilty_a of_o high_a illegality_n and_o injustice_n against_o these_o man_n indubitable_a right_o or_o these_o man_n guilty_a of_o crime_n just_o censurable_a by_o so_o high_a a_o court_n and_o if_o the_o apologist_n will_v give_v we_o leave_v we_o will_v rather_o adhere_v to_o the_o parliament_n to_o repute_v they_o as_o they_o be_v a_o just_a and_o
