which_o full_o overthrow_v what_o sir_n george_n mackenzy_n have_v assert_v as_o to_o our_o government_n be_v original_o a_o absolute_a monarchy_n and_o overturn_v all_o the_o train_n of_o

prince_n so_o little_o do_v absolute_a monarchy_n ever_o obtain_v in_o scotland_n this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o remarkable_a in_o our_o nation_n because_o the_o head_n of_o those_o clan_n

conqueror_n we_o do_v deny_v however_o that_o our_o people_n may_v afterward_o incorporate_v some_o thing_n from_o the_o feudal_n law_n into_o their_o own_o custom_n but_o this_o be_v plain_a if_o our_o history_n may_v be_v credit_v that_o our_o ancient_a great_a family_n do_v owe_v their_o original_a to_o our_o king_n and_o that_o from_o time_n to_o time_n those_o head_n of_o family_n who_o
