of_o the_o sovereign_a power_n of_o the_o peer_n and_o commons_o indeed_o in_o both_o there_o be_v much_o what_o the_o same_o pretence_n and_o both_o have_v much_o what_o the_o same_o warrant_n but_o all_o those_o parliament_n as_o they_o be_v call_v in_o the_o troublesome_a time_n of_o faction_n and_o civil_a war_n so_o be_v they_o ever_o sway_v by_o those_o that_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o most_o potent_a faction_n and_o while_o they_o always_o act_v in_o favour_n of_o they_o and_o their_o design_n they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v instance_n of_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o two_o house_n as_o that_o clean_a contrary_a they_o be_v plain_a instance_n of_o the_o weakness_n and_o unsteadiness_n of_o they_o when_o forsake_v the_o moderation_n and_o guidance_n of_o

affirm_v that_o the_o popish_a parliament_n etc._o etc._o challenge_v or_o claim_v great_a jurisdiction_n over_o king_n than_o any_o ever_o since_o yet_o his_o instance_n prove_v no_o more_o claim_n

representative_a of_o the_o subject_a be_v a_o transcendent_a impiety_n beyond_o the_o parallel_n of_o all_o his_o unimitable_a example_n in_o which_o i_o can_v but_o the_o more_o wonder_n that_o he_o shall_v ascribe_v the_o act_n unto_o the_o two_o house_n when_o by_o make_v the_o act_n they_o he_o make_v all_o the_o long_a misery_n and_o bloodshed_n that_o ensue_v upon_o those_o act_n to_o have_v be_v bring_v upon_o the_o land_n by_o the_o mere_a act_n of_o the_o two_o house_n consider_v therefore_o the_o every_o way_n faulty_a argument_n of_o that_o book_n both_o in_o cite_v and_o apply_v i_o be_o force_v to_o conclude_v with_o the_o same_o word_n that_o in_o the_o frontispiece_n of_o his_o book_n he_o begin_v with_o the_o treacherous_a dealer_n have_v deal_v treacherous_o yea_o the_o

the_o lawfulness_n of_o a_o defensive_a war_n that_o answer_v itself_o that_o it_o come_v nothing_o to_o the_o case_n in_o question_n where_o the_o war_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v a_o invasive_a
