any_o of_o these_o i_o shall_v quote_v some_o passage_n out_o of_o my_o lord_n chancellor_n fortescue_n where_o he_o profess_o handle_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o absolute_a monarchy_n and_o a_o

of_o institution_n of_o a_o kingdom_n politic_a or_o limit_a monarchy_n whereby_o you_o may_v measure_v the_o power_n which_o the_o king_n thereof_o may_v exercise_v over_o the_o law_n and_o subject_n

with_o the_o clear_a light_n of_o your_o declaration_n dispel_v the_o cloud_n wherewith_o my_o mind_n be_v darken_v so_o that_o i_o do_v most_o evident_o see_v that_o no_o nation_n do_v ever_o of_o their_o own_o voluntary_a mind_n incorporate_v themselves_o into_o a_o kingdom_n for_o any_o other_o intent_n but_o only_o to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v enjoy_v their_o life_n and_o fortune_n which_o they_o be_v afraid_a of_o lose_v with_o great_a security_n than_o before_o and_o of_o this_o intent_n shall_v such_o a_o nation_n be_v utter_o defraud_v if_o then_o their_o king_n may_v spoil_v they_o of_o their_o good_n which_o before_o be_v lawful_a for_o no_o man_n to_o do_v and_o yet_o shall_v such_o a_o people_n be_v much_o more_o injure_a if_o they_o shall_v afterward_o be_v govern_v by_o foreign_a and_o strange_a law_n yea_o and_o such_o as_o they_o peradventure_o deadly_o hate_v and_o abhor_v and_o most_o of_o all_o if_o by_o those_o law_n their_o substance_n shall_v be_v diminish_v for_o the_o safeguard_n whereof_o as_o also_o for_o the_o security_n of_o their_o person_n thcy_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o governance_n of_o a_o

have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o over_o they_o now_o this_o discourse_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o a_o political_a kingdom_n be_v to_o show_v the_o prince_n of_o wales_n that_o he_o ought_v to_o study_v the_o law_n of_o england_n and_o not_o the_o civil_a law_n by_o which_o a_o english_a king_n can_v govern_v whereof_o the_o prince_n stand_v in_o doubt_n chap._n 9_o but_o now_o you_o see_v that_o cloud_n be_v dispel_v and_o he_o be_v convince_v by_o this_o that_o a_o political_a kingdom_n can_v be_v govern_v by_o foreign_a and_o strange_a law_n which_o have_v signify_v nothing_o towards_o his_o conviction_n if_o england_n be_v not_o a_o political_a kingdom_n and_o i_o think_v there_o can_v be_v a_o plain_a comment_n upon_o those_o former_a word_n of_o bracton_n lex_fw-la
