the_o duke_n and_o his_o friend_n that_o they_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o strengthen_v their_o party_n when_o the_o ordinary_a rule_n and_o method_n of_o the_o law_n oblige_v they_o to_o proceed_v

to_o the_o parliament_n if_o it_o must_v sit_v they_o think_v nothing_o to_o be_v so_o acceptable_a to_o they_o as_o the_o persecute_v of_o popery_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v so_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o
