there_o be_v a_o legislative_a power_n in_o the_o parliament_n but_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v in_fw-la sensu_fw-la conjuncto_fw-la not_o in_fw-la sensu_fw-la diviso_fw-la in_o a_o sense_n when_o the_o king_n be_v join_v to_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n not_o when_o he_o be_v divide_v from_o they_o either_o in_o his_o will_n or_o person_n for_o neither_o house_n by_o itself_o or_o both_o

whatsoever_o and_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a you_o can_v show_v i_o a_o authority_n in_o our_o law_n to_o the_o contaary_a but_o you_o will_v peradventure_o say_v that_o the_o king_n will_v full_o

by_o special_a commission_n in_o one_o of_o these_o two_o cause_n in_o the_o first_o of_o which_o case_n edward_n duke_n of_o cornwall_n and_o earl_n of_o chester_n hold_v a_o parliament_n in_o 24._o

the_o cause_n of_o the_o say_a prorogation_n be_v because_o the_o king_n be_v enforce_v to_o go_v into_o glocestershire_n to_o repress_v a_o rebellion_n there_o so_o in_o 28._o eli._n queen_n
