to_o withstand_v his_o adversary_n as_o ever_o he_o be_v but_o my_o son_n can_v deserve_v no_o sanctuary_n you_o say_v and_o therefore_o he_o can_v not_o have_v it_o forsooth_o the_o lord_n

process_n draw_v that_o it_o be_v not_o honourable_a that_o the_o duke_n bide_v here_o it_o be_v more_o comfortable_a to_o they_o both_o that_o he_o be_v with_o his_o brother_n because_o the_o king_n lack_v a_o playfellow_n yea_o be_v sure_a i_o pray_v god_n send_v he_o better_o playfellow_n than_o he_o that_o make_v so_o high_a a_o matter_n upon_o such_o a_o trifle_a pretext_n as_o though_o there_o can_v none_o be_v find_v to_o play_v with_o the_o king_n but_o that_o his_o brother_n which_o have_v no_o lust_n to_o play_v for_o sickness_n must_v come_v out_o of_o sanctuary_n out_o of_o his_o safeguard_n to_o play_v with_o he_o as_o though_o that_o prince_n so_o young_a as_o they_o be_v can_v not_o play_v without_o their_o peer_n or_o child_n can_v not_o play_v without_o their_o kindred_n with_o who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o agree_v much_o worse_a than_o with_o stranger_n but_o the_o child_n you_o say_v can_v require_v the_o privilege_n who_o tell_v the_o protector_n so_o ask_v he_o and_o you_o shall_v hear_v he_o ask_v it_o and_o so_o shall_v he_o if_o you_o will_n howbeit_o this_o be_v a_o strange_a matter_n suppose_v he_o can_v not_o ask_v it_o and_o think_v he_o will_v not_o ask_v it_o and_o imagine_v he_o will_v ask_v to_o go_v out_o if_o i_o say_v he_o shall_v not_o note_v if_o i_o ask_v the_o privilege_n for_o myself_o i_o say_v that_o he_o that_o

i_o if_o i_o steal_v he_o not_o nor_o owe_v you_o nothing_o then_o follow_v it_o that_o you_o may_v not_o take_v my_o child_n from_o i_o he_o be_v also_o my_o ward_n for_o as_o far_o as_o my_o

i_o suppose_v take_v my_o ward_n from_o i_o out_o of_o this_o place_n without_o the_o breach_n of_o sanctuary_n and_o if_o my_o privilege_n can_v not_o serve_v he_o nor_o he_o ask_v it_o for_o
