      A Constetucion é a mellor ley que podemos desear. Somos libres pois que non reconocemos basallaxê. Temos goberno moy bó, unas Cortes que en nome do pobo poden tanto como Rey, po lo que é craro que nos mandamos tanto como o Rey.
      The Constitution is the best law we can look forward to. We are free because we don't acknowledge vassalage. We have quite a good government; a parliament that, in the name of the people, is as powerful as the King; and so it is evident that we are as powerful as the King.
