convocation_n i_o will_v not_o here_o enter_v into_o a_o exact_a enquiry_n concern_v the_o ancient_a constitution_n of_o parliament_n in_o england_n a_o question_n which_o have_v already_o exercise_v so_o many_o learned_a pen_n can_v be_v dispatch_v in_o few_o word_n i_o will_v only_o observe_v that_o the_o historian_n have_v succeed_v very_o ill_o in_o his_o conjecture_n in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v a_o wide_a mistake_n to_o affirm_v that_o after_o the_o division_n of_o the_o house_n and_o perfect_a settlement_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o parliament_n the_o convocation_n be_v the_o three_o estate_n for_o it_o be_v ancient_o account_v and_o be_v real_o the_o first_o estate_n then_o his_o conjecture_n concern_v the_o ancient_a seat_n of_o the_o proctor_n of_o the_o clergy_n in_o parliament_n deduce_v with_o so_o much_o labour_n so_o many_o previous_a and_o concomitant_a observation_n be_v unhappy_o found_v upon_o two_o false_a supposition_n the_o first_o be_v that_o former_o the_o low_a house_n of_o convocation_n consist_v only_o of_o the_o proctor_n of_o the_o clergy_n the_o contrary_a of_o this_o be_v full_o prove_v in_o the_o precede_a paper_n wherein_o it_o be_v show_v that_o dean_n also_o and_o archdeacon_n do_v sit_v in_o the_o low_a house_n of_o convocation_n the_o second_o false_a supposition_n be_v that_o until_o edward_n the_o three_o time_n the_o whole_a parliament_n sit_v together_o in_o one_o house_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o several_a estate_n of_o parliament_n be_v then_o alike_o summon_v by_o the_o king_n writ_n now_o the_o
