when_o it_o be_v say_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o major_a part_n of_o both_o house_n be_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o whole_a parliament_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o kingdom_n i_o conceive_v it_o be_v not_o right_o affirm_v for_o beside_o that_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o clergy_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o a_o shadow_n there_o represent_v who_o be_v a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o shall_v be_v presume_v to_o have_v as_o good_a judgement_n and_o be_v as_o good_a man_n as_o other_o i_o resign_v not_o my_o judgement_n but_o promise_v obedience_n to_o the_o parliament_n not_o bare_o to_o the_o burgess_n of_o my_o own_o town_n who_o perhaps_o i_o think_v very_o unfit_a and_o who_o be_v choose_v against_o my_o will_n but_o to_o the_o result_n and_o determination_n of_o both_o house_n and_o not_o to_o they_o only_o neither_o but_o as_o all_o be_v allow_v confirm_v and_o perfect_v by_o the_o king_n assent_n for_o i_o be_o represent_v in_o the_o commons_o but_o as_o subordinate_a to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o join_v with_o the_o king_n and_o with_o the_o lord_n not_o with_o or_o against_o both_o or_o either_o of_o they_o to_o make_v law_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n so_o that_o when_o the_o act_n be_v make_v by_o the_o concurrence_n of_o all_o the_o three_o requisite_a consent_n than_o as_o i_o suppose_v and_o not_o till_o then_o it_o become_v obligatory_a and_o as_o a_o peaceable_a subject_n i_o must_v obey_v it_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a before_o god_n though_o my_o judgement_n be_v still_o free_a at_o home_n and_o i_o do_v think_v it_o inexpedient_a as_o the_o negative_a part_n of_o the_o vote_n do_v for_o it_o be_v
