Page 19 - Rex autem habet superiorem, Deum scilicet ; item legem per quam factus est rex ; item curiam suam, videlicet comites, barones, quia comites dicuntur quasi socii regis, et qui habet socium habet magistrum ; et ideo si rex fuerit sine fraeno, id est, sine lege, debent ei fraenuin ponere, nisi ipsimet fuerint cum rege sine fraeno ; et tune clamabunt subditi et dicent, Pomine Jeeu Christe, in chamo et fraeno uiaxillas eorum constriuge.
