than_o the_o parliament_n die_v not_o in_o all_o case_n when_o the_o king_n die_v and_o if_o this_o hold_v good_a in_o any_o case_n then_o sure_o in_o case_n of_o a_o act_n to_o that_o purpose_n for_o though_o his_o person_n be_v dead_a yet_o his_o royal_a authority_n live_v as_o be_v sufficient_o evident_a by_o the_o force_n and_o authority_n of_o all_o our_o law_n till_o repeal_v by_o act_n of_o

parliament_n will_v deny_v than_o it_o be_v much_o more_o good_a in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o king_n majesty_n person_n who_o royal_a estate_n and_o authority_n be_v so_o evident_a that_o it_o be_v a_o declare_v undeniable_a maxim_n in_o our_o law_n he_o never_o die_v so_o that_o what_o new_a writ_n do_v legal_o for_o supply_v of_o the_o place_n of_o the_o dead_a member_n to_o continue_v the_o
