by_o you_o from_o the_o parliament_n roll_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o parliament_n allow_v this_o king_n seign_v and_o false_a claim_n to_o be_v good_a by_o

no●_n only_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o all_o our_o conquest_n in_o france_n but_o also_o for_o the_o great_a mismanagement_n of_o affair_n at_o home_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o exorbitant_a power_n of_o
