and_o as_o plain_a necessity_n and_o reason_n have_v hitherto_o oblige_v the_o convention_n to_o tread_v in_o their_o footstep_n so_o those_o motive_n be_v at_o present_a most_o cogent_a for_o their_o

precedent_n but_o scotland_n have_v none_o to_o all_o which_o it_o be_v answer_v to_o begin_v with_o the_o last_o part_n first_o that_o scotland_n have_v england_n practice_n for_o a_o precedent_n but_o that_o england_n itself_o have_v no_o precedent_n unless_o that_o of_o 1660._o the_o lamee_a that_o ever_o be_v hear_v of_o for_o that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o meet_v call_v without_o the_o

second_o that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o estate_n by_o the_o surrender_n and_o settlement_n be_v defunct_a at_o least_o as_o to_o that_o point_n yet_o what_o can_v possible_o hinder_v why_o the_o

the_o commission_n be_v full_a enough_o beyond_o all_o exception_n last_o there_o can_v be_v no_o treaty_n about_o the_o union_n without_o a_o commission_n from_o king_n and_o parliament_n so_o that_o unless_o the_o treaty_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o parliament_n the_o treaty_n must_v for_o a_o long_a time_n be_v delay_v and_o postpone_v by_o the_o event_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o these_o reason_n
