pl_z ase_a to_o enact_v be_v necessary_a but_o you_o omit_v that_o we_o be_v call_v by_o the_o king_n writ_n without_o which_o we_o can_v not_o come_v together_o nor_o be_v send_v and_o we_o be_v

though_o we_o say_v it_o be_v a_o oppression_n be_v it_o not_o in_o such_o as_o advise_v the_o king_n that_o by_o law_n he_o may_v do_v it_o and_o these_o be_v the_o swear_v judge_n you_o know_v the_o

and_o you_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o our_o engagement_n be_v to_o remove_v such_o oppression_n as_o be_v breach_n of_o law_n not_o to_o fight_v against_o the_o law_n itself_o nor_o to_o usurp_v a_o

of_o offence_n against_o law_n if_o the_o law_n themselves_o be_v more_o criminal_a than_o the_o person_n and_o you_o will_v hereby_o make_v we_o guilty_a of_o the_o blood_n take_v for_o breach_n of_o

and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o malefactor_n and_o so_o will_v have_v we_o destroy_v man_n by_o that_o law_n you_o say_v you_o fight_v to_o take_v away_o and_o we_o assure_v you_o we_o know_v no_o
