strength_n in_o the_o loss_n of_o so_o many_o subject_n you_o seem_v to_o take_v great_a care_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o rebellion_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v think_v a_o war_n for_o

to_o expect_v that_o religion_n shall_v be_v magnify_v in_o his_o loyalty_n as_o to_o find_v it_o suffer_v in_o the_o defection_n of_o my_o lord_n magu●yre_n but_o you_o must_v take_v a_o equal_a care_n that_o as_o you_o will_v not_o have_v it_o think_v in_o they_o a_o war_n for_o religion_n so_o they_o must_v not_o think_v it_o a_o war_n in_o you_o against_o religion_n that_o will_v produce_v
