tranquillity_n the_o second_o reason_n that_o be_v allege_v in_o transfer_v the_o right_a of_o the_o scottish_a king_n to_o some_o englishman_n be_v this_o all_o englishman_n will_v follow_v english_a

and_o assist_v they_o be_v we_o not_o then_o join_v together_o like_v join_v rope_n of_o sand_n we_o do_v make_v a_o bad_a choice_n i_o think_v to_o join_v we_o to_o they_o that_o can_v be_v and_o

for_o some_o respect_n will_v there_o not_o be_v as_o great_a or_o great_a respect_n find_v against_o the_o second_o &_o three_o i_o dare_v pledge_n my_o head_n that_o there_o will_v not_o be_v want_v

of_o these_o be_v which_o be_v allege_v against_o the_o king_n of_o scot_n and_o thus_o by_o the_o competitor_n and_o their_o complice_n without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o scottish_a king_n or_o his_o

though_o they_o be_v make_v one_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v a_o bare_a presumption_n without_o any_o good_a ground_n or_o warrant_v nay_o the_o contrary_a be_v true_a as_o we_o all_o

when_o of_o two_o nation_n we_o be_v make_v one_o by_o the_o unity_n of_o one_o &_o the_o same_o prince_n seek_v with_o a_o indifferent_a affection_n the_o quietness_n and_o peace_n of_o both_o

to_o believe_v that_o because_o the_o discord_n of_o the_o two_o nation_n have_v be_v great_a therefore_o their_o agreement_n can_v never_o be_v firm_a he_o may_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n think_v

which_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o some_o value_n they_o be_v handle_v at_o large_a by_o the_o bishop_n of_o rosse_n in_o his_o former_a book_n but_o better_a in_o a_o late_a treatise_n privily_o put_v

seem_v to_o remain_v the_o first_o be_v that_o notwithstanding_o divers_a precedent_n may_v be_v bring_v of_o stranger_n who_o have_v obtain_v the_o crown_n before_o the_o make_n of_o the_o say_a

not_o because_o the_o statute_n be_v or_o can_v be_v any_o let_v but_o because_o there_o be_v no_o stranger_n since_o that_o time_n before_o the_o now_o king_n of_o scot_n that_o can_v make_v any_o
