may_v lawful_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n transfer_v their_o allegiance_n to_o their_o new_a lord_n the_o reason_n of_o all_o this_o be_v found_v upon_o the_o nature_n and_o end_n of_o

direct_v they_o now_o to_o transfer_v it_o from_o he_o who_o be_v by_o the_o fortune_n of_o war_n disable_v from_o afford_v protection_n to_o the_o conqueror_n who_o will_v engage_v to_o protect_v they_o and_o do_v preserve_v they_o in_o their_o person_n and_o their_o estate_n and_o in_o all_o their_o ancient_a legal_a security_n and_o as_o this_o can_v be_v deny_v to_o be_v the_o practice_n and_o the_o law_n of_o all_o country_n abroad_o so_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o our_o own_o kingdom_n do_v not_o only_o countenance_v such_o a_o transfer_v of_o allegiance_n to_o a_o conqueror_n
