and_o thereupon_o cause_v to_o be_v read_v out_o of_o a_o abstract_n which_o he_o have_v take_v the_o opinion_n of_o thirty_o lawyer_n who_o from_o the_o year_n 1300_o until_o that_o present_a time_n

the_o dominion_n of_o the_o republic_n over_o the_o sea_n from_o custom_n some_o from_o prescription_n other_o from_o a_o induce_v subjection_n and_o other_o from_o a_o privilege_n do_v arise_v all_o out_o of_o this_o reason_n because_o as_o they_o be_v most_o assure_o inform_v of_o the_o possession_n and_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o say_a sea_n which_o they_o both_o see_v and_o hear_v to_o

by_o way_n of_o doctrine_n only_o each_o one_o of_o they_o judge_v it_o most_o convenient_a to_o express_v the_o title_n of_o that_o jurisdiction_n some_o with_o one_o term_n some_o with_o another_o
