be_v of_o one_o piece_n and_o continent_n with_o we_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o be_v participant_a both_o of_o their_o virtue_n and_o vice_n for_o if_o they_o have_v be_v note_v to_o be_v a_o

as_o to_o this_o point_n for_o mr._n speaker_n in_o all_o the_o line_n of_o our_o king_n none_o use_v to_o carry_v great_a commendation_n than_o his_o majesty_n noble_a progenitor_n king_n edward_n

to_o speak_v rather_o of_o convenience_n than_o of_o law_n only_o this_o will_v i_o say_v that_o that_o opinion_n seem_v to_o i_o contrary_a to_o reason_n of_o law_n contrary_a to_o form_v of_o

king_n suit_n the_o case_n may_v be_v otherwise_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o offence_n to_o the_o peace_n the_o second_o degree_n be_v of_o a_o alien_n that_o be_v bear_v under_o the_o faith_n and_o
