any_o parliamentary_a request_n which_o do_v high_o concern_v the_o public_a present_v to_o any_o king_n and_o by_o he_o refuse_v but_o such_o denial_n do_v produce_v very_o dismal_a effect_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o our_o history_n ancient_a and_o late_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o both_o the_o baron_n war_n and_o our_o last_o dismal_a combustion_n proceed_v from_o no_o other_o cause_n than_o the_o denial_n of_o the_o prince_n then_o reign_v to_o consent_v to_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o such_o have_v be_v the_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o our_o

for_o raise_v the_o militia_n for_o so_o long_a time_n and_o as_o for_o the_o private_a bill_n which_o be_v matter_n of_o mere_a grace_n it_o be_v unreasonable_a his_o majesty_n shall_v be_v refuse_v that_o right_n that_o every_o englishman_n enjoy_v which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v oblige_v to_o dispense_v his_o favour_n but_o where_o he_o please_v but_o for_o this_o point_n of_o the_o negative_a
