sponte_fw-la suá_fw-la of_o his_o own_o accord_n the_o king_n promise_v to_o discharge_v honest_o and_o faithful_o that_o charge_n which_o god_n have_v commit_v and_o entrust_v he_o with_o 2_o though_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o mutual_a contract_n yet_o his_o majesty_n demonstrate_v most_o clear_o that_o it_o can_v help_v this_o cause_n if_o the_o king_n say_v he_o shall_v not_o keep_v his_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n who_o shall_v be_v judge_n between_o these_o party_n there_o be_v none_o who_o have_v but_o attain_v to_o a_o small_a taste_n of_o the_o civil_a
