this_o right_n can_v be_v legal_o and_o peaceable_o prove_v and_o grant_v to_o he_o his_o present_a majesty_n can_v be_v repute_v either_o in_o reason_n in_o law_n or_o in_o conscience_n a_o usurper_n this_o accusation_n therefore_o be_v as_o i_o say_v ridiculous_a and_o frivolous_a his_o majesty_n next_o pretend_v crime_n be_v that_o he_o own_v himself_o bairfaced_a to_o be_v of_o the_o romish_a
