same_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o people_n when_o once_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v dissolve_v but_o now_o here_o because_o the_o fear_n and_o scruple_n which_o at_o first_o apprehension_n be_v apt_a to_o arise_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o kingdom_n may_v seem_v a_o great_a obstruction_n in_o prudence_n against_o the_o return_n of_o that_o parliament_n to_o
