but_o to_o this_o matter_n some_o peradventure_o will_v seem_v to_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o although_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o say_a king_n henry_n death_n the_o heir_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o say_a lady_n francis_n beget_v be_v uncertain_a yet_o at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o say_a remainder_n shall_v happen_v to_o fall_v the_o say_a heir_n may_v then_o certain_o be_v know_v in_o

it_o may_v have_v fortune_v at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o remainder_n shall_v happen_v to_o fall_v to_o the_o say_a heir_n of_o the_o lady_n francis_n the_o same_o lady_n francis_n shall_v then_o be_v also_o live_v who_o i_o pray_v you_o than_o shall_v have_v have_v the_o crown_n peradventure_o you_o will_v say_v the_o heir_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o lady_n eleonour_n to_o who_o the_o next_o

the_o body_n of_o the_o lady_n eleonour_v only_o for_o default_n of_o issue_n of_o the_o lady_n francis_n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v very_o plain_o gather_v upon_o the_o say_v suppose_v will_n that_o the_o meaning_n thereof_o be_v not_o that_o the_o child_n of_o the_o lady_n eleonour_n shall_v enjoy_v the_o crown_n before_o the_o child_n of_o the_o lady_n francis_n but_o what_o if_o the_o say_a lady_n eleonour_n have_v be_v then_o also_o live_v which_o may_v have_v happen_v forasmuch_o as_o both_o the_o say_a lady_n francis_n and_o lady_n eleonour_n by_o common_a course_n of_o nature_n may_v have_v live_v long_o then_o until_o this_o day_n who_o then_o shall_v have_v have_v the_o crown_n true_o the_o right_a heir_n who_o this_o suppose_a will_n mean_v to_o exclude_v so_o long_o as_o there_o shall_v remain_v any_o issue_n either_o of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o say_a lady_n francis_n or_o of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o say_a lady_n eleonour_v lawful_o beget_v and_o therefore_o quite_o
