of_o that_o nature_n which_o can_v but_o rather_o increase_v then_o diminish_v the_o present_a distraction_n if_o constant_o adhere_v unto_o by_o the_o parliament_n be_v it_o not_o too_o much_o that_o

treasonable_a insolency_n his_o majesty_n have_v often_o hear_v of_o the_o great_a trust_n that_o by_o god_n and_o man_n law_n be_v commit_v to_o the_o king_n for_o the_o defence_n and_o safety_n of_o
