life_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n at_o least_o to_o disinherit_v both_o they_o and_o all_o the_o king_n child_n to_o put_v a_o period_n to_o this_o parliament_n to_o set_v up_o a_o new_a representative_a which_o take_v away_o all_o parliament_n to_o have_v a_o elective_a king_n if_o any_o these_o be_v the_o intention_n for_o public_a good_a which_o must_v come_v in_o to_o help_v their_o action_n that_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v otherwise_o irregular_a and_o unjustifiable_a we_o think_v the_o very_a name_n of_o they_o do_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v apparent_o
