several_a game_n to_o play_v to_o make_v all_o fruitless_a as_o first_o his_o own_o negative_a voice_n that_o if_o lord_n and_o commons_o be_v both_o agree_v then_o he_o will_v advise_v which_o i_o

he_o by_o his_o oath_n and_o by_o law_n to_o consent_n to_o it_o 4._o but_o if_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o king_n have_v contract_v hard_a thought_n from_o the_o people_n and_o that_o not_o only_o

to_o have_v be_v to_o be_v the_o sole_a judge_n of_o chivalry_n to_o have_v the_o sole_a power_n of_o confer_v honour_n to_o make_v as_o many_o lord_n as_o he_o please_v that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v
