call_v his_o life_n or_o any_o thing_n he_o do_v possess_v his_o own_o if_o power_n without_o law_n can_v daily_o make_v new_a and_o abrogate_v the_o old_a and_o fundamental_a law_n of_o this_o land_n which_o i_o judge_v to_o be_v the_o present_a case_n wherefore_o when_o i_o be_v bring_v hither_o i_o expect_v that_o you_o will_v have_v study_v to_o satisfy_v i_o in_o these_o fundamental_n which_o

of_o their_o axiom_n that_o the_o king_n can_v not_o do_v a_o injury_n moreover_o the_o law_n on_o which_o you_o do_v ground_n your_o process_n be_v either_o old_a or_o new_a if_o it_o be_v old_a
