be_v the_o english_a and_o scottish_a and_o also_o since_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o best_a thing_n be_v worst_a it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o before_o we_o conclude_v this_o chapter_n and_o

of_o the_o prince_n to_o alter_v the_o old_a law_n and_o introduce_v new_a one_o to_o their_o prejudice_n to_o this_o i_o subscribe_v that_o when_o law_n be_v so_o pass_v it_o confirm_v and_o

the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o freeholder_n be_v represent_v to_o this_o i_o subscribe_v that_o man_n will_v less_o dare_v to_o abuse_v their_o prince_n or_o country_n by_o any_o sinister_a or_o indirect_a mean_n when_o parliament_n be_v frequent_a and_o free_a to_o this_o i_o subscribe_v the_o frequent_a use_n of_o parliament_n take_v away_o all_o strangeness_n between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n and_o beget_v a_o confidence_n and_o right_a understanding_n between_o they_o to_o this_o i_o subscribe_v that_o since_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o every_o prince_n in_o govern_v must_v necessary_o ultimate_o resolve_v his_o confidence_n into_o something_o beside_o the_o law_n to_o which_o upon_o all_o occasion_n he_o may_v betake_v himself_o for_o the_o execution_n and_o

of_o a_o diffidence_n of_o his_o own_o subject_n or_o from_o some_o reason_n of_o state_n trust_v the_o protection_n of_o his_o person_n and_o law_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o foreigner_n as_o do_v the_o king_n of_o egypt_n before_o sclymus_n conquer_v they_o or_o as_o the_o king_n of_o france_n now_o do_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o switz_n and_o scot_n or_o he_o must_v betake_v himself_o to_o the_o
