must_v give_v a_o equitable_a sense_n of_o these_o oath_n or_o there_o must_v be_v perjury_n on_o all_o side_n for_o those_o who_o have_v first_o swear_v to_o maud_n can_v not_o transfer_v their_o

which_o be_v not_o so_o plain_a a_o case_n as_o man_n common_o imagine_v and_o in_o truth_n if_o the_o just_a legal_a title_n be_v the_o only_a rule_n of_o conscience_n in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v hard_a to_o take_v the_o oath_n on_o either_o side_n for_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n a_o lineal_a descent_n be_v plead_v from_o the_o daughter_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o clarence_n who_o be_v elder_a

life_n or_o liberty_n and_o that_o he_o will_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o his_o power_n withstand_v all_o attempt_n to_o the_o contrary_n the_o same_o oath_n be_v take_v by_o his_o son_n edward_n earl_n of_o march_n afterward_o e._n 4._o and_o edward_n earl_n of_o rutland_n be_v this_o a_o lawful_a oath_n or_o not_o to_o say_v it_o be_v unlawful_a be_v to_o reflect_v on_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o

not_o easy_a to_o prove_v such_o a_o oath_n unlawful_a as_o contain_v nothing_o unlawful_a nor_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o a_o three_o person_n when_o he_o who_o be_v chief_o concern_v voluntary_o take_v it_o if_o it_o be_v a_o lawful_a oath_n than_o a_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n on_o the_o account_n of_o possession_n be_v a_o lawful_a oath_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o right_o be_v not_o

such_o another_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o declaration_n as_o to_o right_o but_o the_o same_o thing_n require_v which_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n promise_v in_o his_o oath_n

that_o a_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n may_v be_v twofold_a 1._o declarative_n of_o right_n and_o in_o that_o case_n none_o can_v be_v own_v to_o have_v right_o but_o he_o that_o have_v it_o 2._o
