whatsoever_o i_o shall_v not_o argue_v that_o point_n because_o this_o be_v not_o a_o proper_a time_n for_o it_o and_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v never_o have_v occasion_n to_o try_v it_o if_o it_o ever_o shall_v happen_v i_o will_v lay_v the_o blame_v at_o the_o door_n of_o his_o minister_n for_o our_o king_n be_v a_o merciful_a prince_n and_o love_v not_o such_o thing_n yet_o this_o i_o be_o

the_o court_n that_o shall_v extol_v the_o king_n prerogative_n above_o the_o law_n because_o this_o doctrine_n if_o true_a quite_o destroy_v the_o fundamental_o of_o our_o government_n for_o if_o
