their_o debate_n they_o think_v there_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o those_o kind_n of_o treason_n in_o fitz-harris's_a case_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v little_a reason_n for_o that_o severe_a

complete_a examination_n of_o his_o crime_n can_v be_v have_v no_o where_o but_o in_o parliament_n but_o it_o seem_v somewhat_o strange_a that_o the_o delay_n of_o a_o trial_n and_o that_o against_o
