be_v fall_v calumny_n and_o envy_n herself_o will_v never_o have_v attempt_v to_o obtrude_v upon_o we_o such_o impossible_a charge_n of_o treason_n and_o rebellion_n against_o our_o most_o sacred_a

so_o usurp_v over_o king_n kingdom_n and_o parliament_n for_o ever_o sure_o this_o be_v next_o to_o a_o prodigy_n if_o it_o be_v not_o one_o but_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o lord_n and_o commons_o

nay_o he_o be_v uncapable_a of_o sit_v as_o judge_v at_o all_o and_o the_o delinquent_n be_v legal_o condemn_v and_o such_o heinous_a matter_n have_v be_v prove_v against_o he_o that_o his_o great_a

conscience_n have_v sign_v a_o warrant_n for_o his_o death_n though_o he_o have_v dissent_v from_o the_o judgement_n so_o if_o one_o judge_n on_o the_o same_o bench_n dissent_v from_o three_o or_o

in_fw-la voluntate_fw-la we_o can_v imagine_v that_o public_a consent_n shall_v be_v anywhere_o more_o vigorous_a or_o more_o orderly_a than_o it_o be_v in_o parliament_n man_n be_v deprave_v by_o
