only_o in_o its_o vuilgar_a sense_n i_o perceive_v it_o signify_v to_o break_v off_o or_o put_v a_o end_n to_o a_o parliament_n and_o all_o their_o business_n and_o authority_n so_o that_o a_o dissolution_n may_v be_v make_v without_o the_o king_n or_o lord_n chancellor_n say_v you_o be_v hereby_o dissolve_v the_o force_n of_o the_o law_n or_o custom_n of_o england_n may_v put_v a_o end_n to_o a_o parliament_n of_o old_a the_o finish_v the_o business_n of_o the_o people_n for_o which_o they_o be_v call_v do_v dissolve_v they_o see_v the_o ancient_a modus_fw-la tenendi_fw-la parliamt_v the_o custom_n be_v that_o when_o all_o the_o petition_n for_o relief_n against_o grievance_n be_v dispacth_v proclamation_n be_v make_v demand_v if_o any_o petition_n be_v yet_o unanswered_a and_o if_o there_o be_v none_o the_o parliament_n forth_o with_o depart_a this_o be_v the_o natural_a death_n or_o dissolution_n of_o a_o parliament_n but_o if_o the_o king_n do_v command_v the_o lord_n and_o commons_o to_o depart_v before_o they_o have_v suffitient_o consult_v about_o the_o state_n and_o defence_n of_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n and_o set_v up-day_n for_o their_o return_n that_o be_v the_o voilent_a death_n of_o a_o parliament_n and_o i_o doubt_v a_o violence_n to_o the_o king_n conscience_n but_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o the_o king_n to_o dissolve_v parliament_n either_o by_o
