you_o have_v show_v your_o se_fw-la ve_z so_o averse_a from_o peace_n that_o you_o have_v vote_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o cessarion_n of_o arm_n lest_o by_o a_o free_a treaty_n a_o peace_n may_v

these_o thing_n you_o have_v do_v to_o the_o subject_n also_o 1._o you_o have_v make_v a_o ordinance_n that_o the_o twenty_o part_n of_o man_n estate_n must_v be_v pay_v towards_o the_o maintenance_n of_o this_o rebellion_n and_o you_o appoint_v those_o who_o shall_v value_v that_o twenty_o part_n and_o why_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n you_o take_v not_o the_o ten_o part_n or_o the_o one_o half_a

when_o a_o matter_n of_o importance_n have_v be_v in_o debate_n they_o have_v put_v it_o to_o the_o question_n and_o upon_o the_o question_n it_o have_v be_v determine_v and_o the_o same_o question_n
