parliament_n and_o the_o power_n and_o ability_n in_o it_o which_o be_v under_o god_n to_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o our_o happy_a settlement_n there_o can_v be_v nothing_o conceive_v or_o propose_v of_o

in_o a_o way_n which_o be_v unblamable_a the_o worth_n of_o these_o duty_n and_o the_o obligation_n whereby_o god_n do_v engage_v we_o all_o but_o chief_o our_o leader_n to_o desire_v the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o shall_v raise_v both_o their_o and_o our_o thought_n to_o the_o entertain_v of_o such_o deliberation_n certain_o god_n aim_v in_o bestow_v upon_o we_o this_o parliament_n and_o upon_o
