which_o seem_v ground_v the_o opinion_n that_o a_o king_n be_v not_o a_o king_n where_o bracton_n his_o will_n govern_v and_o not_o the_o law_n for_o if_o a_o king_n power_n be_v only_o fortescue_n

it_o over_o they_o by_o any_o other_o power_n that_o be_v a_o political_a not_o a_o regal_a power_n let_v king_n therefore_o temper_v their_o bracton_n power_n by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v the_o bridle_n of_o power_n so_o that_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o pac._n this_o law_n of_o resist_v or_o not_o resist_v in_o case_n of_o necessity_n seem_v to_o depend_v on_o the_o intention_n of_o

and_o backward_o or_o to_o blow_v hot_a and_o cold_a in_o the_o same_o breath_n to_o make_v the_o contradiction_n appear_v plain_a enough_o this_o opinion_n yet_o he_o stick_v most_o to_o if_o you_o

of_o the_o thebean_a legion_n can_v never_o happen_v in_o great_a britain_n we_o of_o these_o kingdom_n have_v such_o security_n against_o tyranny_n as_o no_o people_n ever_o have_v i_o suppose_v he_o

of_o a_o security_n by_o certain_a deed_n to_o all_o which_o be_v fix_v revocation_n and_o yet_o will_v have_v we_o depend_v on_o such_o arbitrary_a settlement_n without_o right_n or_o power_n to_o

for_o trust_v and_o to_o deter_v we_o from_o examine_v a_o tyrant_n action_n or_o oppose_v the_o imperial_a that_o be_v arbitrary_a power_n which_o be_v that_o a_o king_n be_v accountable_a to_o
