by_o the_o fundamental_a constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n i_o humble_o also_o conceive_v that_o there_o be_v just_a reason_n for_o it_o too_o and_o that_o not_o only_o from_o the_o relation_n which_o these_o three_o estate_n have_v one_o to_o another_o but_o also_o because_o of_o that_o interest_n which_o one_o estate_n have_v in_o another_o the_o king_n be_v no_o otherwise_o king_n of_o

subject_n according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o likewise_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o of_o england_n be_v no_o otherwise_o subject_n of_o england_n but_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o king_n as_o he_o be_v the_o king_n of_o england_n in_o who_o also_o they_o have_v the_o like_a reciprocal_a interest_n and_o so_o he_o be_v their_o liege_n our_o lawful_a sovereign_n or_o their_o king_n according_a
