of_o his_o life_n in_o a_o house_n of_o religion_n and_o that_o the_o peer_n of_o france_n not_o regard_v the_o young_a year_n of_o charles_n the_o son_n of_o lewis_n their_o king_n idem_fw-la deprive_v he_o of_o his_o right_n and_o make_v eude_a earl_n of_o paris_n king_n of_o france_n you_o may_v think_v it_o as_o lawful_a for_o charles_n the_o 6._o to_o deprive_v his_o son_n charles_n of_o his_o inheritance_n for_o the_o horrible_a murder_n commit_v as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v on_o the_o person_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o burgundy_n a_o prince_n of_o the_o blood_n royal_a a_o peer_n of_o france_n and_o a_o counsellor_n unto_o the_o king_n his_o father_n and_o for_o the_o great_a manifest_a and_o undutiful_a disobedience_n which_o he_o show_v unto_o his_o father_n as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o state_n of_o the_o same_o realm_n to_o deprive_v theodorick_n for_o his_o insufficiency_n lewis_n for_o his_o pusillanimity_n and_o charles_n for_o his_o youth_n so_o you_o see_v the_o last_o objection_n refute_v by_o their_o own_o example_n and_o as_o you_o see_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n can_v disinherit_v their_o child_n so_o i_o will_v let_v you_o understand_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o have_v invent_v a_o new_a shift_n or_o device_n thereby_o to_o deprive_v those_o of_o their_o due_n who_o make_v claim_v to_o such_o debt_n as_o the_o king_n of_o france_n owe_v they_o there_o be_v a_o time_n and_o so_o it_o be_v still_o when_o a_o king_n of_o france_n die_v great_o indebt_v to_o the_o swisser_n which_o debt_n they_o challenge_v of_o his_o immediate_a successor_n and_o heir_n who_o die_v in_o their_o debt_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o although_o true_a it_o be_v that_o contract_n do_v bind_v the_o contrahent_n and_o their_o heir_n as_o well_o private_a man_n a_o prince_n yet_o the_o king_n of_o france_n not_o succeed_v as_o heir_n but_o as_o successor_n by_o custom_n be_v not_o within_o the_o meaning_n and_o sense_n of_o that_o law_n which_o speak_v of_o contract_n and_o their_o contrahent_n and_o their_o heir_n only_o helvetiorum_n by_o which_o cavil_v the_o poor_a swisser_n be_v deceive_v of_o their_o due_a debt_n as_o we_o englishman_n have_v be_v debar_v of_o our_o claim_n title_n and_o right_n sometime_o by_o the_o law_n salic_a which_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v no_o law_n of_o france_n and_o sometime_o by_o such_o exception_n device_n and_o subtlety_n as_o i_o have_v late_o specify_v the_o four_o point_n whereat_o they_o wonder_v be_v why_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v good_a right_n unto_o the_o crown_n of_o france_n france_n and_o better_a success_n when_o they_o demand_v their_o right_n by_o fire_n and_o sword_n do_v not_o still_o prosecute_v their_o demand_n and_o do_v quick_o lose_v whatsoever_o they_o or_o their_o predecessor_n get_v in_o many_o year_n this_o point_n consist_v of_o two_o several_a point_n the_o one_o why_o we_o forbear_v to_o challenge_v our_o right_n the_o other_o by_o what_o occasion_n we_o lose_v all_o that_o some_o of_o our_o king_n have_v conquer_v especial_o henry_n the_o five_o who_o subdue_v the_o great_a part_n of_o france_n and_o although_o he_o die_v very_o young_a yet_o he_o leave_v his_o son_n henry_n the_o six_o be_v a_o infant_n of_o few_o year_n so_o mighty_a at_o home_o so_o be-friended_n abroad_o so_o accompany_v with_o good_a soldier_n so_o well_o assist_v with_o good_a counselor_n so_o follow_v by_o cunning_a and_o expert_a captain_n holinsh_v and_o so_o direct_v by_o wise_a and_o discreet_a general_n that_o when_o he_o be_v but_o ten_o year_n of_o age_n he_o be_v crown_v at_o paris_n king_n of_o france_n by_o the_o duke_n of_o bedford_n and_o burgundy_n and_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o chief_a peer_n and_o nobility_n of_o france_n this_o first_o point_n be_v easy_o answer_v because_o ever_o since_o the_o first_o time_n we_o lay_v claim_v to_o the_o crown_n of_o france_n those_o prince_n of_o we_o who_o be_v martial_a man_n and_o incline_v to_o war_n demand_v their_o right_n by_o open_a war_n as_o both_o we_o and_o their_o chronicle_n do_v testify_v but_o it_o please_v god_n
