empire_n he_o may_v notwithstanding_o change_v the_o government_n at_o the_o present_a and_o call_v parliament_n no_o more_o administer_v it_o by_o force_n as_o it_o be_v do_v in_o france_n for_o

and_o desire_v of_o the_o people_n which_o in_o this_o case_n will_v hardly_o be_v afford_v they_o but_o we_o will_v suppose_v there_o be_v idle_a people_n enough_o to_o make_v a_o army_n and_o that_o the_o king_n have_v money_n enough_o to_o arm_v and_o raise_v they_o and_o i_o will_v grant_v too_o to_o avoid_v tediousness_n although_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o people_n will_v at_o the_o first_o for_o fear_n receive_v they_o into_o their_o house_n and_o quarter_v they_o against_o law_n nay_o pay_v the_o money_n which_o shall_v be_v by_o illegal_a edict_n impose_v
