¶ And where there is menciō made of va­lues of yerely liueloodes & goodes, the best accompt therof is to be made by the taxa­tions in this last subsedy, so as if any wil be excused by pretence of hys lyueloode or substaunce, to offende, it is as meete that he aunswere to the Prince in subsedye for that value, as seke defence to breake anye good lawe, wherof her maiestie geueth to all men admonition.
