much_o upon_o the_o descent_n as_o to_o drown_v the_o trust_n and_o afterward_o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o they_o can_v say_v he_o have_v it_o by_o way_n of_o trust_n only_o first_o then_o to_o argue_v for_o his_o descent_n thus_o i_o prove_v it_o if_o he_o have_v it_o in_o his_o natural_a capacity_n than_o he_o have_v it_o by_o descent_n but_o he_o have_v it_o in_o his_o natural_a capacity_n ergo_fw-la the_o consequence_n will_v not_o be_v deny_v for_o i_o intend_v by_o his_o natural_a capacity_n as_o charles_n the_o son_n and_o heir_n apparent_a of_o

have_v it_o in_o that_o capacity_n thus_o i_o prove_v it_o if_o the_o treason_n which_o he_o commit_v that_o keep_v one_o of_o those_o fort_n and_o levi_v war_n against_o the_o king_n and_o his_o
