treason_n for_o that_o they_o be_v then_o the_o vassal_n of_o the_o king_n of_o france_n yea_o and_o that_o more_o be_v link_v very_o never_o unto_o he_o in_o band_n of_o blood_n and_o have_v yield_v

of_o that_o shall_v be_v ground_v consider_v that_o the_o king_n himself_o at_o his_o foresay_a entry_n and_o acceptation_n do_v promise_n swear_v &_o declare_v that_o present_o &_o ipso_fw-la

place_v in_o prejudice_n of_o those_o article_n which_o he_o be_v swear_v unto_o or_o that_o shall_v commit_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o same_o so_o that_o the_o king_n himself_o do_v by_o his_o

in_o respect_n of_o they_o of_o brabant_n but_o that_o holland_n and_o zealand_n may_v be_v no_o partaker_n thereof_o they_o must_v you_o needs_o justify_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n and_o all_o
