nothing_o can_v pass_v into_o a_o law_n till_o it_o have_v be_v due_o examine_v by_o the_o king_n lord_n and_o representative_n of_o the_o people_n this_o be_v general_o reckon_v the_o happy_a temperament_n of_o our_o constitution_n but_o what_o become_v of_o it_o if_o the_o delegate_n of_o the_o commons_o to_o a_o bill_n which_o can_v only_o have_v its_o rise_n in_o their_o house_n can_v tack_n foreign_a clause_n which_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o examine_v if_o this_o be_v the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o commons_o they_o may_v with_o that_o consolidate_n all_o other_o bill_n and_o so_o take_v the_o whole_a legislature_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n beside_o these_o great_a inconvenience_n the_o lord_n will_v find_v that_o great_a

allow_v when_o they_o let_v the_o bill_n die_v in_o their_o house_n and_o give_v up_o the_o forfeiture_n to_o his_o majesty_n it_o be_v likewise_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o as_o his_o majesty_n by_o fight_v our_o battle_n and_o hazard_v his_o life_n acquire_v a_o better_a title_n to_o give_v than_o general_o our_o king_n have_v do_v so_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o grantee_n make_v their_o
