that_o the_o norman_a way_n of_o government_n grow_v more_o aristocratical_a than_o the_o saxon_a make_v the_o lord_n the_o chief_n instrument_n of_o keep_v king_n above_o and_o people_n underneath_o &_o thus_o we_o meet_v with_o much_o noise_n of_o meeting_n between_o the_o king_n and_o lord_n and_o little_o concern_v the_o grand_a meeting_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o representative_a of_o the_o people_n although_o some_o footstep_n we_o find_v even_o of_o they_o
also_o for_o king_n be_v mistake_v in_o the_o lord_n who_o mean_v nothing_o less_o than_o to_o serve_v they_o with_o the_o people_n liberty_n together_o with_o their_o own_o which_o they_o see_v wrap_v up_o in_o the_o gross_a three_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o council_n of_o the_o king_n and_o lord_n grow_v potent_a not_o only_o for_o advise_v in_o particular_a occasion_n but_o in_o matter_n of_o judicature_n and_o declare_v of_o law_n order_v of_o process_n in_o court_n of_o plea_n which_o in_o the_o first_o frame_v be_v the_o work_n of_o wise_a and_o learned_a man_n but_o be_v once_o
