A59386	Rights of the kingdom, or, Customs of our ancestors touching the duty, power, election, or succession of our Kings and Parliaments, our true liberty, due allegiance, three estates, their legislative power, original, judicial, and executive, with the militia freely discussed through the British, Saxon, Norman laws and histories, with an occasional discourse of great changes yet expected in the world.

it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o i_o shall_v show_v the_o original_a of_o all_o change_n or_o distemper_n in_o this_o kingdom_n it_o be_v work_n enough_o to_o show_v our_o first_o mould_n or_o

the_o baron_n do_v communicate_v their_o power_n judicial_a so_o the_o commons_o may_v communicate_v their_o legislative_a unto_o those_o who_o have_v the_o name_n but_o little_a of_o the_o nature_n
