power_n do_v represent_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o beam_n of_o his_o majesty_n they_o shine_v that_o he_o have_v say_v they_o be_v god_n that_o he_o put_v the_o sword_n of_o justice_n in_o their_o

the_o skilful_a in_o our_o law_n say_v that_o the_o common_a law_n by_o way_n of_o similitude_n attribute_n to_o the_o king_n a_o shadow_n of_o divine_a excellency_n because_o he_o represent_v the_o person_n of_o god_n and_o bear_v his_o image_n as_o for_o instance_n sovereignty_n all_o land_n be_v hold_v of_o he_o power_n he_o command_v his_o subject_n to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o realm_n to_o

truth_n he_o can_v be_v estop_v justice_n he_o can_v be_v a_o disseizor_n or_o do_v any_o wrong_n these_o thing_n i_o find_v vouch_v from_o such_o authority_n as_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o
