to_o say_v that_o king_n henry_n 3._o institute_v his_o parliament_n to_o be_v assistant_n to_o he_o in_o his_o government_n our_o ancient_a writer_n tell_v we_o that_o parliament_n or_o common_a

you_o learn_v that_o it_o be_v institute_v by_o he_o to_o be_v assistant_n to_o he_o in_o his_o government_n unless_o it_o be_v from_o some_o of_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o commons_o in_o the_o
