but_o it_o be_v certain_a this_o fealty_n require_v more_o than_o a_o empty_a neutrality_n so_o the_o collector_n of_o the_o book_n de_fw-fr feudis_n tell_v we_o in_o express_a term_n 6._o sed_fw-la quia_fw-la non_fw-la sufficit_fw-la abstinere_fw-la à _fw-la malo_fw-la nisi_fw-la fiat_fw-la quod_fw-la bonum_fw-la est_fw-la restat_fw-la ut_fw-la in_o sex_n praedictis_fw-la what_o those_o be_v

that_o they_o be_v not_o singular_a case_n separable_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o feudal_n tenure_n in_o general_n and_o therefore_o wherever_o fealty_n and_o allegiance_n be_v promise_v and_o swear_v in_o general_a without_o any_o express_a mention_n of_o any_o particular_n as_o we_o can_v be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o think_v no_o particular_n be_v intend_v which_o will_v make_v the_o whole_a

now_o it_o will_v concern_v our_o well-meaning_a brethren_n to_o consider_v whether_o this_o same_o fealty_n thus_o explain_v as_o swear_v to_o a_o k._n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la and_o a_o k_o de_fw-fr

and_o will_v not_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o same_o law_n as_o expound_v by_o the_o tribunal_n of_o the_o k._n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la condemn_v all_o peaceable_a behaviour_n to_o the_o k._n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la as_o a_o breach_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o that_o k._n for_o who_o they_o be_v concern_v and_o then_o how_o can_v they_o mean_v veracious_o that_o they_o will_v not_o disturb_v the_o peace_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o present_a possessor_n how_o can_v they_o keep_v the_o secret_n of_o the_o k._n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la against_o the_o k._n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la without_o violate_v their_o fealty_n and_o break_v their_o oath_n to_o the_o k._n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la which_o as_o i_o have_v show_v oblige_v they_o to_o discover_v all_o design_n and_o conspiracy_n against_o

inconsistent_a with_o neutrality_n and_o inconsistent_a also_o with_o themselves_o when_o promise_v to_o prince_n in_o hostility_n with_o each_o other_o and_o several_a expression_n in_o the_o act_n of_o h._n seven_o so_o much_o misunderstand_v of_o late_a seem_v plain_o to_o imply_v that_o this_o military_a fealty_n alone_o be_v that_o for_o which_o the_o favour_n of_o that_o act_n be_v intend_v which_o if_o true_a will_n by_o the_o way_n cut_v off_o all_o other_o who_o either_o hold_v no_o land_n from_o the_o crown_n or_o hold_v they_o not_o in_o military_a service_n from_o even_o that_o

from_o all_o person_n above_o sixteen_o year_n of_o age_n though_o neither_o soldier_n nor_o hold_v any_o military_a tenor_n this_o therefore_o be_v the_o fealty_n and_o allegiance_n concern_v in_o
