mankind_n and_o on_o whatsoever_o ground_n any_o one_o nation_n can_v challenge_v it_o to_o themselves_o on_o the_o same_o reason_n may_v the_o rest_n of_o adam_n child_n expect_v it_o if_o what_o i_o

council_n of_o england_n resolve_v the_o contrary_a ãâã_d shall_v then_o believe_v myself_o to_o be_v ââ¦n_v a_o error_n and_o with_o the_o low_a submission_n ask_v pardon_n for_o my_o assurance_n however_o i_o humble_o presume_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v hardly_o censure_v by_o they_o for_o offer_v to_o lay_v before_o they_o a_o fair_a state_n of_o our_o case_n by_o such_o information_n as_o i_o

the_o subject_a therefore_o of_o our_o enquiry_n present_a disquisition_n shall_v be_v how_o far_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n may_v think_v it_o reasonable_a to_o intermeddle_v with_o the_o

shall_v inquire_v into_o the_o precedent_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o learned_a in_o the_o law_n relate_v to_o this_o matter_n with_o observation_n thereon_o 6._o six_o we_o shall_v consider_v the_o reason_n and_o argument_n that_o may_v be_v far_o offer_v on_o one_o side_n and_o tother_o and_o shall_v draw_v some_o general_n conclusion_n from_o the_o whole_a as_o to_o the_o first_o we_o shall_v
