matter_n ☞_o second_o however_o rigid_o the_o statute_n seem_v to_o be_v word_v yet_o none_o can_v judge_v that_o the_o king_n dispense_v power_n can_v be_v restrain_v since_o neither_o the_o founder_n can_v so_o bind_v either_o his_o sovereign_n or_o the_o pope_n nor_o can_v any_o of_o those_o bound_v their_o successor_n by_o any_o charter_n or_o grant_v from_o such_o inhaerent_a
