that_o house_n alone_o and_o by_o itself_o do_v ever_o make_v a_o law_n which_o do_v confer_v a_o power_n upon_o the_o king_n and_o lord_n which_o as_o king_n and_o lord_n they_o have_v not_o before_o and_o without_o this_o proof_n i_o persuade_v myself_o no_o man_n will_v believe_v that_o as_o unto_o the_o make_n of_o a_o law_n the_o house_n of_o commons_o be_v above_o the_o king_n and_o lord_n
