partaker_n of_o it_o foolish_a in_o a_o king_n and_o capital_a in_o a_o subject_n eumenes_n be_v king_n but_o of_o a_o poor_a castle_n and_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o accknowledge_v mighty_a antigonus_n

mighty_a monarch_n of_o spain_n this_o again_o be_v prove_v by_o a_o notable_a example_n of_o the_o emperor_n charles_n the_o 4._o who_o come_v into_o france_n in_o the_o time_n of_o charles_n the_o 5._o king_n of_o france_n to_o end_v all_o debate_n and_o quarrel_n betwixt_o he_o and_o our_o king_n be_v meet_v upon_o the_o way_n by_o the_o french_a king_n which_o be_v a_o ceremony_n observe_v

so_o prince_n when_o strange_a king_n come_v into_o their_o country_n will_v prefer_v they_o before_o themselves_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o emperor_n precede_v of_o right_a all_o the_o

have_v make_v the_o earl_n of_o savoy_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v upon_o a_o other_o occasion_n duke_n at_o lion_n he_o be_v command_v by_o the_o king_n attorney_n not_o to_o attempt_v any_o such_o

seem_v unto_o the_o french_a king_n that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o suffer_v he_o to_o use_v any_o royal_a authority_n within_o his_o dominion_n the_o queen_n of_o scot_n therefore_o when_o she_o be_v in_o england_n majesty_n be_v inferior_a unto_o the_o queen_n majesty_n and_o this_o inferioritie_n be_v prove_v by_o three_o other_o principal_a reason_n the_o one_o because_o there_o be_v a_o

so_o no_o long_o a_o queen_n first_o for_o the_o inequality_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o of_o france_n be_v both_o resolute_a prince_n and_o yet_o france_n challenge_v precedency_n before_o spain_n for_o five_o principal_a cause_n the_o first_o because_o the_o consent_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o learned_a be_v for_o france_n and_o not_o for_o spain_n the_o second_o because_o the_o french_a king_n have_v a_o long_a time_n have_v the_o honour_n to_o be_v emperor_n and_o not_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n the_o three_o because_o the_o french_a king_n have_v be_v call_v most_o christian_a king_n these_o many_o hundred_o year_n and_o ferdinando_n the_o five_o be_v the_o first_o and_o that_o but_o late_o that_o be_v call_v the_o catholic_n king_n of_o spain_n the_o four_o because_o at_o the_o feast_n of_o st._n george_n in_o england_n france_n even_o in_o queen_n mary_n time_n be_v prefer_v before_o spain_n the_o five_o because_o the_o house_n of_o france_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o that_o of_o spain_n which_o reign_v long_o before_o the_o castle_n of_o haspurge_n be_v build_v the_o six_o and_o last_o because_o the_o book_n of_o ceremony_n which_o be_v keep_v at_o rome_n prefer_v france_n before_o spain_n next_o to_o france_n be_v england_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o same_o book_n which_o put_v england_n in_o the_o second_o place_n and_o spain_n in_o the_o three_o again_o those_o king_n be_v best_a which_o be_v crown_v and_o by_o the_o same_o book_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o france_n england_n and_o spain_n only_o have_v crown_v king_n next_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o mean_a sort_n of_o king_n also_o strive_v for_o precedency_n and_o one_o of_o they_o will_v be_v account_v better_a than_o another_o for_o it_o be_v write_v that_o matthew_n king_n of_o hungary_n think_v himself_o better_a then_o ladislaus_n king_n of_o bohemia_n when_o they_o meet_v once_o together_o matthew_n go_v bareheaded_a and_o tie_v about_o the_o
