and_o no_o doubt_n but_o it_o will_v be_v well_o do_v that_o part_n of_o it_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o go_v hand_n in_o hand_n with_o our_o settlement_n and_o which_o indeed_o must_v be_v part_n of_o it_o be_v that_o a_o parliament_n be_v elect_v every_o year_n at_o a_o certain_a day_n and_o that_o without_o any_o writ_n or_o summons_n the_o people_n meet_v of_o course_n at_o the_o time_n appoint_v in_o the_o usual_a place_n as_o they_o do_v in_o parish_n at_o the_o church-house_n to_o choose_v officer_n and_o that_o the_o sheriff_n be_v there_o ready_a to_o preside_v and_o to_o certify_v the_o election_n and_o that_o the_o parliament_n so_o choose_v shall_v meet_v at_o the_o time_n appoint_v and_o sit_v and_o adjuorn_n as_o their_o business_n be_v more_o or_o less_o urgent_a but_o still_o set_v yet_o a_o time_n for_o their_o come_n together_o again_o but_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o necessity_n by_o reason_n of_o invasion_n or_o some_o other_o cause_n for_o their_o assemble_v soon_o than_o the_o king_n to_o call_v the_o councillor_n of_o these_o four_o counsel_n all_o together_o and_o with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o major_a part_n of_o they_o intimate_v their_o meeting_n soon_o but_o when_o the_o day_n day_n come_v for_o the_o annual_a meeting_n of_o another_o parliament_n they_o must_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v dissolve_v in_o law_n without_o any_o other_o ceremony_n and_o the_o new_a one_o to_o take_v their_o place_n doct._n i_o will_v have_v this_o consider_v too_o and_o provide_v for_o that_o no_o election_n shall_v be_v make_v of_o any_o person_n who_o have_v not_o the_o majority_n of_o the_o elector_n present_v to_o vote_n for_o he_o so_o the_o write_v order_n it_o and_o so_o reason_n dictate_v for_o else_o how_o can_v he_o be_v say_v to_o represent_v the_o county_n if_o not_o a_o five_o part_n have_v consent_v to_o his_o choice_n as_o happen_v sometime_o and_o may_v do_v often_o for_o where_o seven_o or_o eight_o stand_n for_o one_o vacant_a place_n as_o i_o have_v know_v in_o our_o last_o long_a parliament_n where_o the_o vote_n be_v set_v in_o column_n he_o who_o have_v have_v most_o vote_n have_v not_o exceed_v four_o hundred_o of_o above_o two_o thousand_o who_o be_v present_a noble_a ven._n this_o be_v a_o strange_a way_n i_o think_v you_o have_v put_v every_o man_n by_o himself_o as_o we_o do_v in_o our_o government_n and_o as_o i_o understand_v they_o do_v in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o when_o there_o be_v any_o nomination_n and_o then_o if_o he_o have_v not_o the_o major_a part_n he_o be_v reject_v eng._n gent._n this_o be_v very_o material_a and_o indeed_o essential_a but_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o if_o this_o project_n shall_v come_v in_o play_n in_o parliament_n this_o and_o all_o other_o particular_n which_o will_v be_v both_o needless_a and_o tedious_a to_o discourse_v of_o here_o will_v be_v well_o and_o effectual_o provide_v for_o the_o next_o act_n i_o will_v have_v pass_v shall_v be_v concern_v the_o house_n of_o peer_n that_o as_o i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o clause_n in_o the_o bill_n concern_v election_n that_o no_o
