accuse_v any_o member_n of_o that_o house_n and_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v sit_v there_o against_o who_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v have_v aught_o just_o as_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a thing_n to_o think_v that_o the_o oppressor_n of_o the_o subject_n be_v fit_a reformer_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o that_o the_o parliament_n will_v speed_o without_o delay_n hasten_v this_o kingdom_n year_n of_o
