5._o now_o this_o be_v thus_o perhaps_o scotland_n may_v out_o of_o this_o example_n have_v conceive_v the_o like_a doubt_n against_o england_n as_o england_n do_v then_o against_o france_n but_o as_o there_o be_v then_o no_o doubt_n make_v whether_o the_o king_n subject_n bear_v in_o england_n shall_v be_v capable_a of_o land_n in_o france_n so_o out_o of_o this_o statute_n and_o upon_o this_o
