because_o the_o french_a king_n have_v a_o long_a time_n have_v the_o honour_n to_o be_v emperor_n and_o not_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n the_o three_o because_o the_o french_a king_n have_v be_v

not_o to_o be_v a_o absolute_a and_o sovereign_a king_n in_o spain_n or_o other_o his_o dominion_n and_o kingdom_n because_o he_o sometime_o owe_v fidelity_n and_o homage_n unto_o the_o french_a

this_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n the_o king_n of_o scot_n do_v homage_n unto_o england_n for_o certain_a english_a province_n hold_v of_o england_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o homage_n for_o
