upon_o these_o two_o commandment_n hang_v all_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n when_o i_o read_v that_o the_o king_n may_v pardon_v murder_n special_o if_o the_o word_n murder_n be_v not_o in_o the_o pardon_n i_o find_v it_o contrary_n to_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o take_v it_o to_o be_v no_o law_n and_o when_o i_o read_v that_o the_o king_n by_o his_o prerogative_n may_v make_v a_o 20._o s._n piece_n by_o proclamation_n to_o go_v currant_n for_o 40._o s._n or_o to_o be_v worth_a but_o 6._o d._n i_o conceive_v this_o to_o be_v against_o reason_n and_o so_o against_o law_n worse_o

conceive_v that_o the_o king_n prerogative_n in_o money_n be_v for_o the_o well_o balance_v of_o trade_n and_o equality_n of_o exchange_n between_o we_o and_o other_o nation_n in_o case_n that_o
