to_o consider_v that_o the_o practice_n of_o parliament_n be_v the_o law_n of_o parliament_n and_o be_v the_o command_a law_n for_o regulate_v the_o proceed_n of_o parliament_n and_o that_o have_v

law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n therefore_o bishop_n have_v act_v in_o a_o legislative_a capacity_n to_o judge_v and_o condemn_v capital_o as_o several_a precedent_n we_o have_v of_o it_o in_o henry_n

in_o the_o other_o forbid_v bishop_n to_o vote_n judicial_o in_o case_n of_o blood_n yet_o if_o you_o will_v have_v i_o deliver_v you_o free_o my_o opinion_n in_o it_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o
