lose_v a_o great_a deal_n the_o nature_n of_o a_o free_a parliament_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o the_o member_n thereof_o have_v be_v free_o elect_v by_o the_o county_n city_n and_o burrough_n and_o where_o the_o say_v member_n may_v speak_v their_o opinion_n even_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o king_n pleasure_n without_o danger_n it_o be_v a_o long_a time_n since_o there_o be_v such_o

thing_n most_o certain_a that_o he_o may_v have_v have_v all_o manner_n of_o freedom_n to_o propose_v to_o speak_v and_o to_o demand_v of_o the_o parliament_n whatever_o he_o please_v who_o will_v have_v bar_v he_o from_o this_o he_o have_v his_o guard_n he_o have_v his_o army_n consist_v of_o about_o 40000_o man_n against_o ten_o or_o twelve_o thousand_o who_o the_o prince_n have_v take_v

not_o to_o consent_v to_o the_o sit_v of_o a_o free_a parliament_n the_o papist_n have_v reason_n to_o give_v he_o such_o counsel_n but_o the_o king_n be_v very_o much_o in_o the_o wrong_n to_o take_v

be_v then_o in_o but_o the_o king_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o follow_v that_o counsel_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o it_o be_v better_a for_o he_o to_o reign_v under_o the_o

to_o fear_v as_o to_o his_o person_n and_o dignity_n if_o he_o have_v call_v a_o free_a parliament_n at_o the_o first_o be_v not_o a_o bare_a conjecture_n there_o be_v no_o english_a man_n but_o say_v
