be_v real_o our_o king_n do_v not_o our_o own_o law_n return_v upon_o we_o require_v loyalty_n and_o fealty_n forbid_v sedition_n and_o scandalum_fw-la magnatum_fw-la and_o all_o endeavour_n to_o

that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n oblige_v we_o to_o give_v they_o our_o obedience_n or_o do_v we_o mean_v only_o that_o they_o have_v the_o name_n of_o sovereign_n and_o a_o power_n in_o their_o
