of_o state_n i_o be_o not_o well_o satisfy_v yet_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o call_v treason_n in_o one_o of_o their_o member_n for_o this_o comparison_n though_o with_o that_o cautious_a proviso_n that_o

though_o of_o their_o own_o member_n and_o not_o proceed_v against_o by_o the_o justice_n of_o any_o precedent_a act_n but_o condemn_v by_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o present_a session_n and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o a_o absolute_a subversion_n of_o the_o right_n of_o parliament_n and_o destructive_a to_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o our_o kingdom_n wherein_o our_o liberty_n consist_v i_o will_v fain_o be_v satisfy_v what_o it_o be_v for_o it_o be_v most_o apparent_a to_o whosoever_o examine_v their_o ordinary_a proceed_n we_o have_v no_o law_n leave_v but_o what_o serve_v their_o
