consider_v object_n the_o king_n may_v have_v dissolve_v this_o parliament_n and_o call_v a_o new_a within_o the_o year_n and_o therefore_o these_o statute_n may_v have_v be_v observe_v

by_o short_a prorogation_n and_o adjournment_n intermit_v parliament_n for_o several_a year_n which_o be_v the_o same_o as_o if_o he_o have_v prorogue_v they_o at_o once_o for_o so_o long_a time_n
