of_o the_o parliament_n a_o authority_n always_o of_o no_o small_a esteem_n and_o reverence_n with_o the_o best_a man_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o when_o it_o be_v do_v they_o will_v cheerful_o

against_o the_o office_n itself_o and_o against_o government_n by_o a_o single_a person_n under_o any_o title_n the_o act_n of_o parliament_n mention_v be_v as_o express_o against_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o supreme_a power_n by_o a_o single_a person_n under_o any_o title_n be_v as_o much_o a_o contradiction_n of_o providence_n and_o these_o
