it_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n and_o damage_n to_o the_o public_a so_o that_o the_o offence_n in_o so_o do_v be_v not_o because_o it_o be_v mark_v with_o the_o king_n image_n for_o the_o french_a

by_o 1_o m._n 6._o and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v so_o by_o 25_o edw._n iii_o to_o counterfeit_n the_o privy-seal_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o offence_n in_o these_o case_n be_v make_v so_o
