it_o be_v certain_a that_o king_n and_o parliament_n have_v the_o supreme_a legislative_a authority_n in_o this_o realm_n and_o this_o they_o have_v from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n nature_n and_o

the_o civil_a power_n can_v change_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n to_o make_v good_a evil_n or_o evil_a good_a but_o only_o give_v authority_n and_o security_n and_o in_o this_o they_o be_v restrain_v
