by_o the_o fundamental_a constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n i_o humble_o also_o conceive_v that_o there_o be_v just_a reason_n for_o it_o too_o and_o that_o not_o only_o from_o the_o relation_n which_o these_o three_o estate_n have_v one_o to_o another_o but_o also_o because_o of_o that_o interest_n which_o one_o estate_n have_v in_o another_o the_o king_n be_v no_o otherwise_o king_n of_o england_n but_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n and_o so_o he_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o they_o and_o they_o be_v his_o liege_n that_o be_v his_o lawful_a subject_n or_o his_o subject_n according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o likewise_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o of_o england_n be_v no_o otherwise_o subject_n of_o england_n but_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o king_n as_o he_o be_v the_o king_n of_o england_n in_o who_o also_o they_o have_v the_o like_a reciprocal_a interest_n and_o so_o he_o be_v their_o liege_n our_o lawful_a sovereign_n or_o their_o king_n according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o thus_o run_v the_o form_n of_o our_o law_n viz._n be_v it_o enact_v by_o the_o king_n our_o sovereign_a lord_n with_o the_o assent_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o in_o
