have_v be_v unjust_a and_o null_n and_o void_a in_o itself_o and_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o house_n itself_o be_v never_o neither_o now_o nor_o in_o any_o age_n before_o betru_v with_o a_o

have_v betrust_v the_o parliament_n with_o a_o law_n execute_v power_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o they_o have_v so_o do_v they_o have_v then_o choose_v and_o empower_v a_o parliament_n to_o have_v destroy_v they_o but_o not_o to_o have_v preserve_v they_o which_o be_v against_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o end_n of_o the_o very_o be_v of_o parliament_n they_o be_v by_o your_o own_o

parliament_n shall_v execute_v the_o law_n they_o may_v do_v palpable_a injustice_n and_o male_a administer_v it_o and_o so_o the_o people_n will_v be_v rob_v of_o their_o intend_a extraordinary_a benefit_n of_o appeal_n for_o in_o such_o case_n they_o must_v appeal_v to_o the_o parliament_n either_o against_o itself_o or_o part_n of_o itself_o and_o can_v it_o ever_o be_v imagine_v they_o
