have_v the_o full_a benefit_n of_o those_o constitution_n which_o be_v make_v by_o our_o ancestor_n for_o our_o safe_a and_o orderly_o live_v our_o government_n be_v upon_o a_o right_a basis_n

be_v no_o other_o than_o this_o that_o the_o king_n be_v tell_v and_o do_v believe_v that_o most_o of_o these_o great_a charter_n or_o right_n of_o the_o people_n of_o which_o we_o now_o chief_o

you_o have_v think_v well_o what_o it_o shall_v be_v that_o give_v the_o king_n a_o liberty_n to_o choose_v whether_o any_o part_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v currant_n or_o no_o you_o will_v find_v that_o it_o be_v the_o great_a power_n the_o king_n enjoy_v in_o the_o government_n when_o the_o parliament_n have_v discover_v this_o they_o will_v no_o doubt_n demand_v of_o his_o majesty_n a_o

vast_a riches_n and_o revenue_n but_o in_o great_a privilege_n and_o jurisdiction_n which_o oblige_v the_o people_n to_o obey_v they_o whereas_o our_o great_a peer_n in_o former_a time_n have_v not_o
