rather_o doctor_n it_o be_v unreasonable_a for_o the_o head_n to_o neglect_v the_o preservation_n of_o itself_o and_o the_o body_n but_o it_o be_v very_o reasonable_a for_o to_o lift_v up_o both_o

that_o we_o have_v any_o reasonable_a mean_n provide_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o this_o kingdom_n by_o that_o fundamental_a constitution_n if_o the_o king_n may_v do_v what_o he_o please_v seize_v
