    summoned before the king , another descriptive of the trial and judgment of Elizabeth Barton , ¦¦ and V ^ V # V ** ^ k ^ v T so ^^ r ^ 4 ^ f forth ^^^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^ V ^~ ¦ . ^ The ^^» w ^^^^ ^^^ gallant ^^ . ^^ h ^^^ w ^ bf ^^^ ^ b ^ ^^ >^ ^^ m - ^^ exp - ^^^ ^*^*^ mm W ^^ r ; M loit . ^ N ^ ^ f ^ ^^ . * s n of ^ q ^ ^^^ ^ Richard h 1 ^ ^^ *^^ b ^^^ f ^ ^^ ^^ r ^^ w ~~
