as_o just_o as_o ever_o he_o do_v thing_n in_o his_o life_n these_o man_n have_v infringe_v as_o well_o all_o the_o essential_a privilege_n of_o parliament_n as_o every_o puntillio_n of_o it_o for_o they_o have_v often_o rise_v up_o in_o a_o confusion_n without_o adjournment_n they_o have_v two_o speaker_n at_o once_o they_o have_v most_o perjurious_o and_o beyond_o all_o imagination_n betray_v
