thus_o we_o see_v that_o how_o great_a soever_o that_o jurisdiction_n be_v which_o the_o king_n in_o parliament_n grant_v to_o his_o son_n john_n he_o yet_o remain_v no_o more_o than_o a_o subject_a

be_v head_n and_o supreme_a can_v not_o at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v capable_a of_o any_o feudatory_a subjection_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a determination_n of_o the_o former_a grant_n which_o can_v not_o ag●in_o be_v revive_v but_o by_o a_o new_a donation_n upon_o another_o person_n i_o hope_v i_o have_v now_o so_o far_o remove_v this_o main_a pillar_n of_o mr._n molyneux_n structure_n that_o i_o may_v take_v the_o liberty_n as_o often_o as_o i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n hereafter_o to_o deny_v positive_o that_o king_n john_n be_v ever_o make_v absolute_a king_n of_o

and_o thus_o he_o put_v it_o upon_o we_o 42._o let_v we_o suppose_v that_o king_n richard_n have_v leave_v issue_n who_o progeny_n have_v govern_v england_n and_o king_n john_n be_v progeny_n have_v

must_v arise_v from_o something_o that_o follow_v after_o the_o descent_n of_o england_n to_o king_n john_n for_o by_o that_o descent_n england_n may_v as_o proper_o be_v subordinate_a to_o ireland_n as_o the_o converse_n because_o ireland_n have_v be_v vest_v in_o king_n john_n twenty_o two_o year_n before_o his_o accession_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n yes_o and_o it_o be_v the_o ancient_a
