for_o her_o establishment_n will_v clear_o appear_v to_o any_o one_o that_o consider_v the_o state_n of_o affair_n and_o the_o history_n of_o those_o time_n the_o only_a true_a touchstone_n to_o try_v

her_o people_n for_o her_o defence_n and_o establishment_n since_o the_o great_a part_n of_o europe_n do_v not_o only_o look_v upon_o the_o title_n of_o mary_n queen_n of_o scotland_n to_o be_v much_o

no_o other_o and_o a_o great_a many_o too_o dispute_v the_o validity_n of_o that_o she_o be_v necessitate_v to_o make_v that_o as_o strong_a as_o possible_o she_o can_v and_o therefore_o make_v it_o

certain_o endeavour_v for_o ever_o to_o deprive_v of_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o england_n as_o evident_o appear_v from_o this_o clause_n in_o it_o viz._n that_o every_o person_n or_o person_n
