to_o think_v may_v be_v good_a and_o equitable_a m_n you_o right_o understand_v it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n i_o will_v say_v but_o now_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o consider_v what_o

even_o to_o the_o poor_a in_o judgement_n but_o command_v we_o to_o respect_v that_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v just_a and_o equal_a and_o to_o pronounce_v sentence_n according_o m_o i_o do_v

of_o their_o duty_n b_o on_o the_o contrary_n i_o see_v no_o difference_n let_v we_o grant_v that_o a_o king_n be_v at_o liberty_n and_o solve_v from_o the_o law_n shall_v we_o grant_v he_o the_o

or_o to_o fetter_v he_o with_o slight_a bond_n because_o he_o may_v rid_v himself_o thereof_o when_o he_o please_v m_o but_o when_o you_o concredit_fw-la the_o helm_n of_o government_n rather_o to_o

by_o name_n you_o make_v a_o king_n who_o with_o authority_n do_v oppress_v and_o with_o fetter_n and_o imprisonment_n do_v bind_v and_o so_o let_v he_o be_v send_v back_o to_o the_o plough_n again_o or_o to_o his_o former_a condition_n yet_o free_a of_o fetter_n b_o brave_a word_n i_o impose_v no_o lord_n over_o he_o but_o i_o will_v have_v it_o in_o the_o people_n power_n who_o give_v he_o the_o

over_o themselves_o this_o i_o crave_v i_o will_v not_o have_v these_o law_n to_o be_v by_o force_n impose_v as_o you_o interpret_v it_o but_o i_o think_v that_o by_o a_o common_a council_n with_o the_o king_n that_o shall_v be_v general_o establish_v which_o may_v general_o tend_v to_o the_o good_a of_o all_o m_o you_o will_v then_o grant_v this_o liberty_n to_o the_o people_n b_o even_o to_o the_o people_n indeed_o unless_o perhaps_o you_o be_v of_o another_o mind_n m_o nothing_o seem_v less_o equitable_a b_o why_o so_o m_n you_o know_v that_o say_n a_o beast_n with_o many_o head_n you_o know_v i_o suppose_v how_o great_a the_o temerity_n and_o inconstancy_n of_o a_o people_n be_v b_o i_o do_v never_o imagine_v that_o that_o matter_n ought_v to_o be_v grant_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n in_o general_n but_o that_o near_a to_o our_o custom_n a_o select_a number_n out_o of_o all_o estate_n may_v conveen_v with_o the_o king_n in_o council_n and_o then_o how_o soon_o a_o overturn_v by_o they_o be_v make_v that_o it_o be_v defer_v to_o the_o people_n judgement_n m_o i_o understand_v well_o enough_o your_o advice_n but_o by_o this_o so_o careful_a a_o
