of_o their_o life_n beside_o how_o can_v it_o be_v suppose_v they_o can_v proceed_v just_o to_o pass_v a_o final_a sentence_n upon_o he_o who_o concurrence_n be_v absolute_o require_v to_o give_v

they_o usurp_v the_o exorbitant_a power_n of_o depose_v richard_n yet_o do_v they_o not_o pretend_v to_o the_o power_n of_o elect_v who_o they_o please_v but_o think_v themselves_o in_o duty_n bind_v to_o submit_v to_o he_o to_o who_o by_o right_o of_o blood_n the_o crown_n do_v belong_v and_o this_o evident_o appear_v from_o henry_n duke_n of_o lancaster_n manner_n of_o lay_v claim_n to_o the_o
