these_o instruction_n to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n which_o to_o my_o apprehension_n import_v that_o some_o private_a man_n or_o some_o parliament_n man_n in_o a_o private_a way_n frame_v they_o and_o so_o present_v they_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o for_o their_o approbation_n to_o the_o print_n and_o publish_v of_o they_o and_o that_o be_v all_o the_o true_a power_n and_o authority_n they_o as_o yet_o carry_v in_o they_o but_o i_o assure_v you_o whosoever_o they_o be_v that_o contrive_v they_o they_o fly_v very_o high_a in_o their_o presumption_n to_o make_v all_o the_o knight_n and_o

at_o least_o a_o be_v it_o enact_v by_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o etc._n etc._n prefix_a before_o it_o and_o have_v the_o king_n
