in_o these_o point_n of_o the_o straight_a and_o more_o inward_a union_n there_o will_v intervene_v one_o principal_a difficulty_n and_o impediment_n grow_v from_o that_o root_n which_o aristotle_n

but_o as_o a_o part_n of_o britain_n no_o more_o than_o england_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o england_n but_o as_o a_o part_n likewise_o of_o britain_n and_o consequent_o neither_o of_o these_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o thing_n entire_a in_o themselves_o but_o in_o the_o proportion_n that_o they_o bear_v to_o the_o whole_a and_o therefore_o let_v we_o imagine_v nam_fw-la id_fw-la

the_o parliament_n the_o consideration_n of_o that_o point_n will_v fall_v into_o four_o question_n 1._o the_o first_o what_o proportion_n shall_v be_v keep_v between_o the_o vote_n of_o england_n

article_n whereof_o the_o one_o form_n seem_v to_o have_v more_o liberty_n and_o the_o other_o more_o gravity_n and_o maturity_n and_o therefore_o the_o question_n will_v be_v whether_o of_o these_o shall_v yield_v to_o other_o or_o whether_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o both_o by_o some_o commission_n precedent_n to_o every_o parliament_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o lord_n of_o the_o article_n and_o yet_o not_o exclude_v the_o liberty_n of_o propound_v in_o full_a parliament_n afterward_o 3._o the_o three_o touch_v the_o order_n of_o parliament_n how_o they_o may_v be_v
