whatsoever_o and_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a you_o can_v show_v i_o a_o authority_n in_o our_o law_n to_o the_o contaary_a but_o you_o will_v peradventure_o say_v that_o the_o king_n will_v full_o

the_o cause_n of_o the_o say_a prorogation_n be_v because_o the_o king_n be_v enforce_v to_o go_v into_o glocestershire_n to_o repress_v a_o rebellion_n there_o so_o in_o 28._o eli._n queen_n
