the_o conquest_n much_o less_o to_o have_v obtain_v any_o such_o privilege_n by_o the_o grant_n of_o any_o succeed_a king_n wherefore_o these_o must_v have_v have_v this_o right_n by_o more_o

sufficient_a to_o prove_v first_o that_o the_o low_a sort_n of_o the_o people_n have_v right_a unto_o session_n in_o parliament_n during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o teuton_n second_o that_o they_o be_v

be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o say_v that_o the_o commons_o during_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o teuton_n be_v elect_v into_o parliament_n because_o they_o be_v so_o now_o and_o no_o man_n can_v show_v when_o this_o custom_n begin_v i_o see_v not_o which_o way_n it_o shall_v be_v a_o ill_a one_o to_o say_v that_o the_o commons_o during_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o teuton_n constitute_v also_o a_o
