have_v betrust_v the_o parliament_n with_o a_o law_n execute_v power_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o they_o have_v so_o do_v they_o have_v then_o choose_v and_o empower_v a_o parliament_n to_o have_v destroy_v they_o but_o not_o to_o have_v preserve_v they_o which_o be_v against_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o end_n of_o the_o very_o be_v of_o parliament_n they_o be_v by_o your_o own_o
