rot_v but_o mr._n pepys_n have_v prove_v the_o contrary_a with_o a_o witness_n and_o appeal_v to_o the_o book_n and_o man_n that_o be_v now_o in_o the_o admiralty_n and_o navy_n office_n by_o this_o

together_o with_o all_o those_o author_n these_o two_o writer_n refer_v to_o but_o i_o resolve_v at_o first_o to_o wave_v examine_v whether_o we_o have_v ever_o in_o a_o proper_a and_o strict_a sense_n be_v conquer_v or_o no_o and_o therefore_o must_v fall_v direct_o upon_o compare_v those_o and_o our_o time_n and_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o normandy_n and_o what_o the_o

and_o true_o if_o any_o thing_n can_v facilitate_v a_o french_a conquest_n and_o if_o the_o time_n do_v not_o exceed_o differ_v in_o other_o respect_n the_o breach_n we_o have_v make_v upon_o the_o lineal_a succession_n and_o the_o impotency_n irregularity_n and_o exaction_n of_o the_o present_a government_n may_v make_v way_n for_o it_o but_o those_o thing_n that_o make_v a_o conquest_n feasible_a then_o and_o be_v not_o in_o our_o present_a case_n be_v very_o many_o the_o norman_n come_v from_o norway_n and_o denmark_n which_o place_n be_v surchage_v with_o people_n and_o there_o be_v no_o project_n so_o improbable_a in_o which_o their_o leader_n can_v not_o easy_o engage_v they_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o norman_n and_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o britain_n be_v the_o same_o the_o conqueror_n have_v many_o pretence_n of_o title_n edward_n the_o confessor_n will_n the_o donation_n of_o the_o pope_n who_o also_o give_v he_o a_o consecrate_a banner_n a_o agnus_n of_o gold_n

repeat_v that_o france_n have_v no_o occasion_n to_o send_v forth_o drove_n of_o people_n and_o the_o religion_n of_o france_n will_v make_v the_o people_n of_o england_n resist_v a_o french_a
