duchess_n of_o somerset_n shall_v be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o think_v that_o she_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o precedence_n of_o the_o queen_n dowager_n therefore_o i_o look_v upon_o this_o story_n

he_o will_v go_v about_o to_o reverse_v that_o which_o himself_o and_o other_o have_v consent_v to_o under_o their_o hand_n their_o family_n be_v now_o so_o great_a that_o nothing_o but_o their_o
