law_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o to_o prove_v this_o a_o argument_n may_v be_v frame_v thus_o whosoever_o shall_v allow_v or_o countenance_v in_o word_n or_o deed_n any_o foreign_a power_n authority_n or_o jurisdiction_n and_o more_o particulary_o of_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n make_v himself_o a_o transgressor_n to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o the_o law_n but_o such_o as_o obey_v the_o bâ—_n fool._n
