that_o their_o heir_n and_o successor_n shall_v enjoy_v the_o crown_n after_o they_o and_o the_o ground_n of_o take_v this_o oath_n be_v upon_o a_o opinion_n that_o the_o crown_n go_v by_o

i_o confess_v after_o a_o king_n disease_n the_o people_n may_v elect_v and_o crown_v the_o son_n and_o his_o son_n son_n but_o that_o any_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v claim_v or_o challenge_v as_o a_o
