westminster-hall_n for_o as_o we_o desire_v to_o have_v few_o or_o no_o cause_n bring_v before_o we_o because_o we_o get_v nothing_o by_o they_o so_o they_o desire_v to_o have_v all_o cause_n bring_v

of_o this_o style_n begin_v to_o examine_v what_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o shall_v be_v and_o so_o we_o find_v that_o since_o they_o ought_v not_o by_o right_a to_o try_v such_o cause_n they_o be_v resolve_v to_o make_v bold_a not_o only_o with_o our_o privilege_n but_o the_o very_a sense_n and_o language_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n this_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o mention_v only_o to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o this_o whole_a cause_n as_o well_o as_o many_o other_o can_v not_o be_v try_v proper_o in_o any_o place_n but_o at_o our_o bar_n except_o mr._n skinner_n will_v have_v take_v a_o

again_o now_o my_o lord_n under_o favour_n this_o of_o we_o be_v a_o very_a different_a case_n from_o they_o for_o as_o to_o this_o precedent_n the_o question_n be_v never_o make_v and_o all_o
