yet_o the_o subject_n bear_v there_o be_v bear_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o so_o in_o that_o respect_n alien_n but_o in_o that_o they_o be_v bear_v within_o the_o king_n

the_o crown_n of_o france_n shall_v give_v any_o privilege_n to_o they_o of_o normandy_n and_o aquitanie_n in_o england_n be_v a_o strange_a conceit_n it_o may_v rather_o be_v object_v against_o
