tranquillity_n the_o second_o reason_n that_o be_v allege_v in_o transfer_v the_o right_a of_o the_o scottish_a king_n to_o some_o englishman_n be_v this_o all_o englishman_n will_v follow_v english_a

the_o more_o spedilie_o and_o through_o to_o take_v it_o in_o hand_n for_o the_o more_o hard_a and_o thereof_o the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o title_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o bar_n that_o it_o ought_v rather_o to_o provoke_v her_o majesty_n to_o the_o search_n thereof_o doubtful_a it_o be_v so_o much_o it_o be_v the_o more_o dangerous_a and_o therefore_o the_o more_o care_n

that_o there_o it_o may_v be_v settle_v and_o establish_v for_o thus_o may_v every_o one_o of_o they_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o injustice_n or_o injury_n intend_v against_o any_o of_o they_o but_o the_o right_n be_v only_o seek_v out_o to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o rightful_a owner_n &_o that_o therefore_o none_o have_v any_o just_a cause_n to_o be_v offend_v but_o rather_o every_o one_o

shall_v appear_v without_o any_o great_a difficulty_n may_v it_o be_v stay_v by_o you_o in_o your_o life_n time_n from_o burst_v out_o into_o any_o dangerous_a effect_n whereas_o if_o you_o shall_v

that_o now_o wrongful_o imagine_v they_o have_v right_o there-unto_a who_o ambition_n may_v stir_v they_o up_o to_o seek_v the_o diadem_n this_o as_o i_o have_v plain_o prove_v be_v the_o way_n that_o

you_o know_v be_v threaten_v for_o that_o he_o have_v break_v god_n commandment_n to_o have_v his_o kingdom_n rend_v from_o he_o and_o it_o be_v so_o and_o the_o rather_o may_v you_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n in_o respect_n of_o peril_n to_o your_o person_n to_o stay_v you_o from_o thus_o do_v because_o not_o only_o it_o have_v be_v make_v to_o appear_v manifest_o unto_o you_o that_o they_o be_v rather_o fancy_v peril_n than_o peril_n in_o deed_n and_o now_o last_o evident_a reason_n have_v show_v you_o that_o what_o soever_o those_o peril_n be_v yet_o the_o same_o and_o rather_o great_a be_v more_o justly_o to_o be_v fear_v of_o the_o not_o settle_v of_o the_o succession_n wherefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o former_a objection_n there_o be_v
