name_v so_o neither_o be_v all_o those_o just_a privilege_n which_o alone_o be_v protest_v to_o maintain_v which_o certain_a parliamentary_a grandee_n be_v please_v so_o to_o declare_v certain_a the_o

not_o delude_v also_o when_o they_o cry_v out_o breach_n of_o privilege_n i_o know_v not_o but_o i_o hope_v that_o ere_o long_o we_o shall_v know_v the_o just_a bound_n of_o parliamentary_a privilege_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v who_o transgress_v 2._o as_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o declare_v by_o those_o who_o innocency_n continue_v then_o in_o the_o house_n that_o what_o be_v so_o

it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o they_o to_o say_v you_o have_v break_v the_o privilege_n as_o to_o entreat_v a_o account_n of_o that_o action_n the_o justice_n who_o only_o ask_v the_o constable_n why_o he_o secure_v such_o a_o person_n upon_o suspicion_n of_o felony_n and_o do_v in_o it_o silent_o hint_n that_o the_o very_a secure_n be_v unjust_a 3._o what_o ever_o be_v their_o privilege_n in_o parliament_n i_o be_o persuade_v to_o think_v that_o it_o be_v not_o at_o least_o a_o just_a privilege_n to_o be_v free_a altogether_o from_o arrest_n for_o then_o what_o will_v the_o city_n creditor_n do_v etc._n etc._n and_o i_o be_o easy_o convince_v that_o it_o may_v be_v as_o just_a to_o arrest_v and_o above_o a_o arrest_n the_o army_n have_v not_o act_v for_o suspicion_n of_o
