clause_n extend_v to_o any_o person_n whosoever_o whether_o foreign_a or_o domestical_a three_o the_o negative_a clause_n exclude_v foreign_a person_n from_o have_v any_o jurisdiction_n power_n

that_o realm_n in_o particular_a but_o general_o to_o all_o his_o majesty_n realm_n dominion_n &_o country_n so_o that_o the_o former_a affirmative_a clause_n in_o the_o oath_n appear_v to_o be_v
