will_v advise_v with_o they_o about_o be_v matter_n of_o the_o high_a importance_n to_o the_o kingdom_n matter_n of_o the_o high_a importance_n to_o a_o kingdom_n must_v relate_v to_o some_o of_o

high_a importance_n to_o the_o kingdom_n he_o have_v resolve_v to_o call_v a_o new_a parliament_n to_o advise_v with_o they_o about_o these_o important_a thing_n and_o because_o the_o circumstance_n of_o affair_n be_v such_o as_o may_v bring_v we_o under_o a_o necessity_n of_o army_n which_o people_n be_v so_o mighty_o afraid_a of_o and_o that_o the_o condition_n the_o breach_n of_o our_o army_n
