quick_o lose_v whatsoever_o they_o or_o their_o predecessor_n get_v in_o many_o year_n this_o point_n consist_v of_o two_o several_a point_n the_o one_o why_o we_o forbear_v to_o challenge_v our_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

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
