that_o the_o king_n know_v our_o charter_n and_o how_o the_o militia_n be_v dispose_v thereby_o three_o that_o the_o charter_n never_o grant_v we_o a_o stand_a militia_n four_o nor_o to_o send_v man_n

2._o he_o reason_v all_o the_o charter_n grant_v be_v void_a because_o the_o militia_n be_v a_o jewel_n of_o the_o crown_n not_o to_o be_v grant_v by_o the_o king_n from_o his_o successor_n it_o be_v
