Or else the city is obliged by way of requitall to help the army to justice upon them.		1647 (1647)	Wing R589; Thomason E396_1; ESTC R201639	10,353	15

this_o petition_n ought_v to_o be_v grant_v for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o the_o suspension_n be_v but_o in_o order_n to_o the_o trial_n a_o petition_n to_o the_o house_n be_v equivalent_a to_o
