prerogative_n for_o which_o i_o now_o labour_n whereby_o we_o have_v sore_o feel_v and_o dear_o undergo_v these_o unmatchable_a misery_n wherewith_o these_o three_o kingdom_n have_v be_v so_o long_o

their_o conscience_n that_o such_o a_o unheard_a of_o precedent_n shall_v not_o innovate_v so_o much_o upon_o prerogative_n as_o to_o bind_v up_o the_o king_n hand_n which_o shall_v defend_v and_o

upon_o supposition_n of_o that_o act_n be_v in_o force_n which_o the_o king_n may_v have_v wave_v for_o in_o the_o case_n of_o ship-money_n though_o it_o be_v the_o better_a opinion_n that_o the_o

he_o may_v but_o then_o admit_v it_o bind_v in_o its_o creation_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v its_o duration_n how_o long_o it_o bind_v and_o for_o that_o its_o clear_a it_o can_v bind_v he_o no_o
