bring_v from_o the_o country_n so_o now_o they_o be_v helpless_a by_o that_o i_o hear_v from_o the_o court_n when_o we_o be_v deprive_v as_o i_o perceive_v from_o our_o good_a king_n the_o only_a

you_o have_v cease_v your_o plaint_n in_o the_o country_n to_o become_v a_o suitor_n in_o the_o court_n and_o herein_o you_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o he_o that_o go_v out_o of_o god_n blessing_n

in_o the_o court_n will_v look_v for_o more_o cap_n and_o courtesy_n then_o i_o answer_v you_o have_v be_v accustom_v unto_o and_o yet_o still_o receive_v your_o obeisance_n without_o any_o regard_n of_o your_o business_n but_o do_v you_o complain_v of_o bribe_v in_o the_o country_n and_o will_v you_o come_v empty_a hand_v to_o the_o court_n where_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n without_o gold_n
