that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v a_o sovereign_a prince_n before_o his_o coronation_n nor_o be_v his_o oath_n necessary_a to_o make_v he_o so_o seeing_z henry_n the_o six_o reign_v divers_a

first_o your_o first_o case_n be_v when_o a_o prince_n do_v voluntary_o and_o free_o relinquish_v his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n as_o do_v charles_n the_o five_o christiana_n of_o sweden_n and_o to_o

your_o purpose_n and_o pray_v look_v your_o barclay_n again_o and_o see_v if_o this_o case_n as_o you_o say_v be_v there_o second_o if_o a_o prince_n alienates_v his_o crown_n and_o subject_n to_o another_o you_o say_v he_o may_v be_v resist_v this_o without_o any_o harm_n may_v be_v grant_v too_o for_o as_o i_o own_v no_o allegiance_n to_o a_o foreign_a prince_n so_o my_o own_o prince_n have_v voluntary_o divest_v himself_o and_o thrust_v himself_o into_o a_o private_a capacity_n and_o in_o this_o case_n we_o do_v not_o resist_v the_o high_a power_n but_o a_o private_a person_n and_o this_o
