advantage_n the_o liberty_n of_o england_n have_v be_v at_o a_o end_n i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v quite_o to_o exclude_v parliament-man_n from_o have_v place_n for_o a_o man_n may_v serve_v

of_o no_o less_o importance_n we_o deviate_v in_o charles_n the_o second_v time_n from_o our_o constitution_n for_o though_o we_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o punish_v offender_n yet_o we_o do_v
