make_v in_o edward_n the_o three_o reign_n parliament_n be_v to_o be_v hold_v very_o often_o it_o shall_v be_v enact_v that_o within_o three_o year_n after_o the_o determination_n of_o that_o

that_o urge_v they_o to_o i_o ever_o dare_v own_o for_o they_o always_o lay_v their_o fault_n upon_o somebody_o else_o like_o ugly_a aufish_n child_n which_o because_o of_o their_o deformity_n and_o

therefore_o my_o lord_n be_v reduce_v to_o this_o short_a dilemma_n either_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o act_v mention_v of_o edward_n the_o three_o or_o else_o the_o whole_a government_n of_o england_n by_o parliament_n and_o by_o law_n be_v absolute_o at_o a_o end_n for_o if_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v power_n by_o a_o order_n of_o they_o to_o invalidate_v a_o

they_o please_v but_o also_o take_v away_o any_o man_n estate_n when_o they_o please_v and_o deprive_v one_o of_o his_o liberty_n and_o life_n if_o they_o please_v this_o my_o lord_n be_v a_o power_n i_o think_v that_o no_o judge_n or_o lawyer_n will_v pretend_v the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v and_o yet_o this_o power_n must_v be_v allow_v they_o or_o else_o we_o that_o be_v meet_v here_o this_o day_n can_v act_v as_o a_o parliament_n for_o we_o be_v not_o meet_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o last_o prorogation_n then_o prorogation_n be_v a_o order_n of_o the_o king_n be_v and_o a_o pointblank_o contrary_a to_o the_o two_o act_n of_o edward_n the_o three_o for_o the_o act_n say_v that_o a_o parliament_n shall_v be_v hold_v within_o a_o year_n and_o the_o prorogation_n say_v that_o parliament_n shall_v not_o be_v hold_v within_o a_o year_n but_o some_o month_n after_o this_o i_o conceive_v be_v a_o plain_a contradiction_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o prorogation_n be_v void_a now_o if_o we_o can_v act_v as_o a_o parliament_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o last_o prorogation_n i_o beseech_v your_o lordship_n by_o virtue_n of_o what_o else_o can_v we_o act_v shall_v we_o act_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o king_n proclamation_n pray_v my_o lord_n how_o so_o be_v a_o proclamation_n of_o more_o force_n than_o a_o prorogation_n or_o if_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v order_v a_o first_o time_n be_v not_o value_v do_v the_o order_n it_o a_o second_o time_n make_v it_o good_a in_o law_n i_o have_v hear_v indeed_o that_o two_o negative_n make_v a_o affirmative_a but_o i_o never_o hear_v before_o that_o two_o nothing_o ever_o make_v anything_n well_o but_o how_o then_o do_v we_o meet_v be_v it_o by_o our_o own_o adjournment_n i_o hope_v that_o nobody_o have_v the_o confidence_n to_o say_v so_o which_o way_n then_o be_v it_o we_o do_v meet_v here_o by_o a_o accident_n that_o i_o think_v may_v be_v grant_v but_o a_o accidental_a meeting_n can_v no_o more_o make_v a_o parliament_n than_o a_o accidental_a clap_v of_o a_o crown_n on_o a_o man_n head_n can_v make_v a_o king_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o ceremony_n require_v to_o give_v a_o matter_n of_o that_o moment_n a_o legal_a sanction_n the_o law_n have_v repose_v so_o great_a trust_n and_o power_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o parliament_n that_o every_o circumstance_n relate_v to_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o elect_v meet_v and_o proceed_v be_v look_v after_o with_o the_o most_o circumspection_n imaginable_a for_o this_o reason_n the_o king_n writ_n about_o the_o summons_n of_o

that_o a_o parliament_n be_v summon_v by_o the_o king_n writ_n do_v not_o meet_v at_o the_o very_a same_o day_n it_o be_v summon_v to_o meet_v at_o that_o parliament_n be_v void_a and_o null_v and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n if_o a_o parliament_n be_v not_o legal_o adjourn_v the_o die_n &_o in_fw-la diem_fw-la these_o parliament_n must_v also_o be_v void_a and_o null_v o_o but_o some_o say_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o two_o act_n of_o edward_n the_o three_o to_o take_v away_o the_o king_n power_n in_o prorogation_n therefore_o prorogation_n be_v good_a my_o lord_n under_o favour_n it_o be_v a_o very_a gross_a mistake_n for_o pray_v examine_v the_o word_n of_o the_o act_n and_o the_o act_n say_v parliament_n shall_v be_v hold_v once_o a_o year_n now_o to_o who_o can_v these_o word_n be_v direct_v but_o to_o they_o that_o be_v to_o call_v a_o parliament_n and_o who_o be_v they_o but_o the_o king_n of_o england_n it_o be_v very_o true_a this_o do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o

than_o thing_n be_v just_a as_o they_o be_v before_o and_o therefore_o the_o parliament_n be_v still_o in_o be_v my_o lord_n i_o confess_v there_o will_v be_v some_o weight_n in_o this_o but_o for_o
