can_v have_v no_o subsistence_n without_o he_o but_o experience_n in_o our_o case_n teach_v we_o the_o contrary_a and_o we_o can_v easy_o calculate_v that_o if_o the_o whole_a royal_a line_n shall_v

forbear_v to_o draw_v censure_n upon_o myself_o by_o cite_v they_o and_o whereas_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o parliament_n be_v in_o a_o mean_a condition_n than_o other_o inferior_a court_n if_o the_o king_n mere_a discretion_n can_v so_o make_v their_o deliberation_n void_a and_o vain_a mr._n jenkin_n reply_n that_o this_o be_v most_o true_a and_o just_a for_o as_o much_o as_o in_o other_o

so_o the_o king_n be_v swear_v not_o to_o interrupt_v or_o frustrate_v they_o thus_o 1_o we_o see_v the_o king_n patent_n to_o a_o few_o man_n be_v more_o vigorous_a than_o the_o most_o honourable_a

take_v from_o the_o judge_n be_v of_o more_o value_n than_o the_o faith_n and_o loyalty_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n 3_o we_o see_v the_o king_n by_o his_o coronation_n oath_n be_v strong_o oblige_v not_o to_o obstruct_v justice_n in_o private_a case_n depend_v before_o low_a court_n than_o the_o general_a safety_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o people_n in_o that_o treshault_n counsel_n which_o be_v
