particular_o in_o the_o reign_v of_o henry_n the_o four_o henry_n the_o 5_o and_o henry_n the_o 6_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o a_o proclamation_n to_o be_v make_v in_o westminster-hall_n before_o the_o

so_o by_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o this_o government_n which_o must_v be_v lame_a and_o imperfect_a without_o it_o for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o have_v no_o parliament_n at_o all_o but_o when_o the_o prince_n please_v and_o to_o allow_v a_o power_n in_o he_o to_o dismiss_v they_o when_o he_o will_v that_o be_v when_o they_o refuse_v to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o statute_n it_o be_v certain_o because_o our_o wise_a ancestor_n think_v there_o need_v none_o but_o that_o by_o the_o very_a essence_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n it_o be_v provide_v for_o and_o this_o we_o may_v call_v if_o you_o have_v rather_o have_v it_o so_o the_o common-law_n which_o be_v of_o as_o much_o value_n if_o not_o more_o than_o any_o statute_n and_o of_o which_o all_o our_o good_a act_n of_o parliament_n and_o magna_fw-la charta_n itself_o be_v but_o declaratory_a so_o that_o your_o objection_n be_v sufficient_o aswer_v in_o this_o that_o
