parliament_n be_v dissolve_v and_o if_o in_o this_o opinion_n i_o have_v the_o misfortune_n to_o be_v mistake_v i_o have_v another_o misfortune_n join_v in_o it_o i_o desire_v to_o maintain_v the_o argument_n with_o all_o the_o judge_n and_o lawyer_n in_o england_n and_o leave_v it_o afterward_o for_o your_o lordship_n to_o decide_v whether_o i_o be_o in_o the_o right_n or_o no._n this_o my_o lord_n i_o speak_v not_o out_o of_o arrogance_n but_o in_o my_o own_o justification_n because_o if_o i_o be_v not_o thorough_o convince_v that_o what_o i_o have_v now_o to_o urge_v be_v ground_v upon_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o england_n and_o that_o the_o not_o press_v it_o at_o this_o time_n may_v prove_v to_o be_v of_o a_o most_o dangerous_a consequence_n both_o to_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o whole_a nation_n i_o shall_v have_v be_v loath_a to_o start_v a_o motion_n which_o perhaps_o may_v not_o be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o some_o people_n and_o yet_o my_o lord_n when_o i_o consider_v where_o i_o be_o who_o i_o now_o speak_v to_o and_o what_o be_v speak_v in_o this_o place_n about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o last_o prorogation_n i_o can_v hardly_o believe_v that_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v will_v be_v distasteful_a to_o your_o lordship_n i_o remember_v very_o well_o how_o your_o lordship_n be_v then_o dispose_v with_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o remember_v too_o as_o well_o what_o reason_n they_o give_v to_o be_v so_o it_o be_v not_o so_o long_o since_o but_o that_o i_o suppose_v your_o lordship_n may_v easy_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o after_o several_a odd_a passage_n between_o we_o your_o lordship_n be_v so_o incense_v that_o a_o motion_n be_v make_v here_o for_o a_o address_n to_o his_o majesty_n about_o the_o dissolution_n of_o this_o parliament_n and_o though_o it_o fail_v of_o be_v carry_v in_o the_o affirmative_a by_o two_o or_o three_o voice_n yet_o this_o in_o the_o debate_n be_v remarkable_a the_o cit_n prevail_v much_o with_o the_o major_a part_n of_o your_o lordship_n that_o be_v here_o present_a and_o be_v only_o overpower_a by_o the_o proxy_n of_o those_o lord_n who_o never_o hear_v the_o argument_n what_o change_v there_o have_v be_v since_o either_o in_o their_o behave_v or_o in_o the_o state_n of_o our_o affair_n that_o shall_v make_v your_o lordship_n change_n your_o opinion_n i_o have_v not_o hear_v and_o therefore_o if_o i_o can_v make_v it_o appear_v as_o i_o presume_v i_o shall_v that_o by_o law_n the_o parliament_n be_v dissolve_v i_o hope_v your_o lordship_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v offend_v at_o i_o for_o it_o i_o have_v often_o wonder_v how_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o this_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o which_o there_o be_v so_o many_o honest_a and_o so_o many_o worthy_a gentleman_n shall_v be_v less_o respectful_a to_o your_o lordship_n as_o certain_o they_o have_v be_v than_o any_o house_n of_o commons_o that_o ever_o be_v choose_v in_o england_n and_o yet_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v a_o little_a inquire_v into_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o will_v plain_o appear_v for_o my_o lord_n the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o be_v change_v they_o do_v not_o think_v now_o they_o be_v a_o assembly_n that_o be_v to_o return_v to_o their_o house_n and_o become_v as_o private_a man_n again_o as_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o the_o ancient_a constitution_n of_o parliament_n they_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o they_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o a_o stand_a senate_n and_o as_o a_o company_n of_o man_n pick_v out_o to_o be_v legislator_n for_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o whole_a life_n and_o if_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n my_o lord_n they_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v themselves_o our_o equal_n but_o my_o lord_n it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o try_v new_a experiment_n in_o government_n man_n do_v not_o foresee_v the_o ill_a consequence_n that_o must_v happen_v when_o they_o go_v about_o to_o alter_v those_o essential_a part_n of_o it_o upon_o which_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o government_n depend_v as_o now_o in_o our_o fall_n the_o custom_n and_o constitution_n of_o parliament_n for_o all_o government_n be_v artificial_a thing_n and_o every_o part_n of_o they_o have_v a_o dependence_n one_o upon_o another_o as_o in_o clock_n and_o watch_n if_o you_o shall_v put_v great_a wheel_n in_o the_o room_n of_o little_a one_o and_o little_a one_o in_o the_o place_n of_o great_a one_o all_o the_o fabric_n will_v stand_v still_o so_o you_o can_v alter_v any_o one_o part_n of_o the_o government_n without_o prejudice_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o whole_a if_o this_o my_o lord_n be_v well_o consider_v people_n will_v be_v more_o cautious_a how_o they_o go_v out_o of_o the_o old_a english_a way_n and_o method_n of_o proceed_n but_o it_o be_v not_o my_o business_n to_o find_v fault_n and_o therefore_o if_o your_o lordship_n will_v give_v i_o leave_v i_o shall_v go_v on_o to_o show_v you_o why_o in_o my_o opinion_n we_o be_v at_o this_o time_n no_o parliament_n the_o ground_n of_o this_o opinion_n of_o i_o be_v take_v from_o the_o ancient_a and_o unquestionable_a state_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v your_o lordship_n by_o the_o way_n that_o statute_n be_v not_o like_a woman_n for_o they_o be_v not_o one_o jot_n the_o worse_a for_o be_v old_a the_o first_o statute_n that_o i_o shall_v take_v notice_n of_o be_v that_o in_o the_o four_o year_n of_o edward_n the_o three_o cap._n 14._o and_o it_o be_v thus_o set_v down_o in_o the_o print_a book_n item_n it_o be_v accord_v that_o a_o parliament_n shall_v be_v hold_v every_o year_n once_o and_o more_o often_o if_o need_v be_v now_o these_o word_n be_v as_o plain_a as_o a_o pikestaff_n and_o that_o no_o man_n live_v that_o be_v not_o a_o scholar_n can_v possible_o mistake_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o it_o be_v the_o grammarian_n of_o those_o day_n do_v make_v a_o

whimsy_n of_o they_o have_v make_v this_o statute_n to_o signify_v just_a nothing_o at_o all_o for_o this_o reason_n my_o lord_n in_o the_o 36th_o year_n of_o the_o same_o king_n reign_n a_o new_a

the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v so_o be_v as_o plain_o set_v down_o namely_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la and_o other_o statute_n of_o the_o same_o

for_o parliament_n have_v be_v omit_v every_o year_n according_a to_o these_o statute_n a_o statute_n be_v make_v in_o the_o last_o king_n reign_n to_o this_o purpose_n that_o if_o the_o king_n
