so_o prince_n when_o strange_a king_n come_v into_o their_o country_n will_v prefer_v they_o before_o themselves_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o emperor_n precede_v of_o right_a all_o the_o prince_n of_o christendom_n and_o yet_o when_o francis_n the_o first_o king_n of_o france_n be_v bring_v from_o pavia_n where_o he_o be_v take_v prisoner_n into_o spain_n at_o their_o fi●st_a

selfsame_o time_n and_o after_o that_o there_o be_v a_o new_a strife_n betwixt_o they_o for_o the_o right_a hand_n this_o again_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o emperor_n sigismond_n who_o when_o he_o will_v have_v make_v the_o earl_n of_o savoy_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v upon_o a_o other_o occasion_n duke_n at_o lion_n he_o be_v command_v by_o the_o king_n attorney_n not_o to_o attempt_v any_o such_o

seem_v unto_o the_o french_a king_n that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o suffer_v he_o to_o use_v any_o royal_a authority_n within_o his_o dominion_n the_o queen_n of_o scot_n therefore_o when_o she_o be_v in_o england_n majesty_n be_v inferior_a unto_o the_o queen_n majesty_n and_o this_o inferioritie_n be_v prove_v by_o three_o other_o principal_a reason_n the_o one_o because_o there_o be_v a_o inequality_n betwixt_o king_n one_o of_o they_o be_v better_o than_o a_o other_o the_o other_o because_o she_o be_v her_o majesty_n vassal_n and_o the_o three_o because_o she_o be_v depose_v and_o so_o no_o long_o a_o queen_n first_o for_o the_o inequality_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o of_o france_n be_v both_o resolute_a prince_n and_o yet_o france_n challenge_v precedency_n before_o spain_n for_o five_o principal_a cause_n the_o first_o because_o the_o consent_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o learned_a be_v for_o france_n and_o not_o for_o spain_n the_o second_o because_o the_o french_a king_n have_v a_o long_a time_n have_v the_o honour_n to_o be_v emperor_n and_o not_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n the_o three_o because_o the_o french_a king_n have_v be_v call_v most_o christian_a king_n these_o many_o hundred_o year_n and_o ferdinando_n the_o five_o be_v the_o first_o and_o that_o but_o late_o that_o be_v call_v the_o catholic_n king_n of_o spain_n the_o four_o because_o at_o the_o feast_n of_o st._n george_n in_o england_n france_n even_o in_o queen_n mary_n time_n be_v prefer_v before_o spain_n the_o five_o because_o the_o house_n of_o france_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o that_o of_o spain_n which_o reign_v long_o before_o the_o castle_n of_o haspurge_n be_v build_v the_o six_o and_o last_o because_o the_o book_n of_o ceremony_n which_o be_v keep_v at_o rome_n prefer_v france_n before_o spain_n next_o to_o france_n be_v england_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o same_o book_n which_o put_v england_n in_o the_o second_o place_n and_o spain_n in_o the_o three_o again_o those_o king_n be_v best_a which_o be_v crown_v and_o by_o the_o same_o book_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o france_n england_n and_o spain_n only_o have_v crown_v king_n next_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o mean_a sort_n of_o king_n also_o strive_v for_o precedency_n and_o one_o of_o they_o will_v be_v account_v better_a than_o another_o for_o it_o be_v write_v that_o matthew_n king_n of_o hungary_n think_v himself_o better_a then_o ladislaus_n king_n of_o bohemia_n when_o they_o meet_v once_o together_o matthew_n go_v bareheaded_a and_o tie_v about_o the_o

this_o and_o whatsoever_o else_o may_v be_v say_v by_o we_o to_o fortify_v and_o defend_v our_o title_n the_o scot_n make_v three_o principal_a objection_n the_o first_o that_o their_o king_n never_o

their_o grant_n and_o gift_n the_o second_o that_o edward_n the_o three_o be_v choose_v arbitrator_n of_o the_o great_a and_o notable_a contention_n that_o be_v betwixt_o john_n bali●l_n and_o robert_n bruce_n for_o the_o kingdom_n take_v the_o two_o competitor_n aside_o and_o sound_v which_o of_o they_o will_v take_v the_o kingdom_n to_o hold_v it_o of_o he_o which_o when_o robert_n who_o title_n be_v as_o they_o think_v best_o refuse_v to_o do_v and_o john_n be_v content_a to_o perform_v he_o wrongful_o pronounce_v judgement_n for_o john_n balliol_n and_o so_o extort_a this_o homage_n by_o fraud_n and_o corruption_n the_o three_o that_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o realm_n never_o acknowledge_v this_o homage_n but_o be_v so_o far_o from_o yield_v thereunto_o that_o the_o nobility_n of_o scotland_n deprive_v john_n balliol_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o give_v the_o same_o unto_o robert_n the_o first_o because_o he_o submit_v himself_o and_o his_o kingdom_n unto_o king_n ed._n the_o three_o objection_n may_v not_o be_v unanswered_a and_o therefore_o unto_o ●very_n one_o of_o they_o in_o order_n true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o king_n may_v hold_v his_o kingdom_n of_o no_o superior_a and_o yet_o owe_v homage_n for_o some_o member_n thereof_o unto_o another_o or_o some_o principality_n that_o he_o hold_v of_o a_o other_o and_o he_o shall_v still_o nevertheless_o remain_v a_o most_o absolute_a king_n for_o who_o will_v deny_v king_n edward_n the_o three_o of_o england_n to_o be_v either_o absolute_a or_o sovereign_a king_n of_o england_n although_o he_o swear_v homage_n and_o fidelity_n unto_o king_n john_n of_o france_n for_o gascoigne_n and_o other_o dominion_n which_o he_o hold_v of_o he_o in_o france_n or_o who_o will_v take_v the_o emperor_n chales_fw-la the_o five_o not_o to_o be_v a_o absolute_a and_o sovereign_a king_n in_o spain_n or_o other_o his_o dominion_n and_o kingdom_n because_o he_o sometime_o owe_v fidelity_n and_o homage_n unto_o the_o french_a king_n for_o the_o dukedom_n of_o burgundy_n b●t_v the_o case_n be_v alter_v in_o the_o king_n of_o scot_n because_o he_o do_v homage_n both_o for_o these_o country_n and_o for_o his_o kingdom_n and_o this_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n the_o king_n of_o scot_n do_v homage_n unto_o england_n for_o certain_a english_a province_n hold_v of_o england_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o homage_n for_o scotland_n but_o the_o second_o objection_n be_v of_o better_a weight_n and_o yet_o may_v be_v thus_o answer_v i_o may_v here_o oppose_v the_o credit_n of_o a_o english_a man_n against_o a_o scot_n credit_n and_o desire_v to_o have_v holinsh_v and_o th●_n walsingham_n speak_v for_o we_o to_o be_v as_o well_o believe_v as_o hector_n boetius_fw-la and_o george_n buchanan_n will_v be_v credit_v when_o they_o speak_v for_o scotland_n but_o you_o shall_v hear_v this_o objection_n confute_v by_o a_o italian_a namely_o by_o pelidore_n virgil_n a_o man_n of_o more_o indifferency_n of_o less_o

write_v nothing_o of_o we_o but_o what_o he_o have_v from_o we_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o man_n just_o condemn_v upon_o a_o bare_a and_o light_a suspicion_n and_o i_o eftsoon_o

refel_v this_o objection_n i_o say_v out_o of_o polid._n virgil_n that_o k●ng_n edward_n pronounce_v not_o judgement_n for_o john_n balliol_n because_o he_o promise_v to_o hold_v scotland_n in_o homage_n of_o he_o but_o because_o he_o come_v of_o the_o elder_a daughter_n of_o king_n david_n and_o robert_n bruce_n of_o the_o second_o i_o strengthen_v my_o say_n by_o these_o argument_n first_o it_o be_v say_v that_o king_n edward_n very_o wise_o when_o as_o this_o great_a con●ention_n be_v refer_v unto_o his_o audience_n and_o determination_n he_o call_v together_o as_o hector_n boeti●s_v

title_n be_v the_o better_a and_o because_o he_o may_v be_v suspect_v if_o he_o shall_v examine_v the_o matter_n alone_o and_o give_v sentence_n himself_o he_o choose_v 12._o english_a man_n as_o boetius_fw-la say_v or_o 20._o as_o holinsh_v reporte●h_n and_o as_o many_o scot_n as_o english_a man_n who_o he_o make_v judge_n of_o the_o controversy_n and_o they_o when_o they_o have_v thorough_o discuss_v both_o conpetitor_n right_n give_v judgement_n for_o john_n balliol_n which_o award_n be_v confirm_v by_o the_o king_n then_o whenas_o the_o king_n have_v see_v so_o many_o evidence_n and_o proof_n confirm_v his_o right_n and_o title_n unto_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o scotland_n as_o be_v before_o mention_v be_v it_o likely_a that_o he_o who_o have_v right_o to_o that_o which_o he_o demand_v will_v condition_n with_o the_o competitor_n in_o such_o manner_n as_o be_v object_v last_o although_o he_o have_v make_v john_n bali●ll_n to_o enter_v into_o such_o a_o condition_n and_o to_o bind_v himself_o thereunto_o this_o can_v help_v the_o scot_n for_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o claim_v his_o right_n at_o any_o time_n and_o to_o tell_v he_o that_o be_v likely_a to_o detain_v and_o withstand_v his_o right_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v his_o lawful_a favour_n unless_o he_o will_v be_v content_a and_o this_o be_v most_o lawful_a in_o a_o cause_n of_o contention_n betwixt_o the_o sovereign_n and_o his_o vassal_n because_o the_o sovereign_n must_v require_v homage_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o the_o vassal_n be_v not_o in_o some_o man_n opinion_n
