to_o maintain_v public_a peace_n he_o have_v not_o attempt_v as_o other_o man_n have_v to_o enlarge_v his_o dominion_n with_o theffusion_n of_o christian_a blood_n he_o have_v not_o stir_v up_o any_o

in_o a_o prince_n and_o most_o notable_a in_o so_o great_a a_o prince_n special_o in_o this_o loose_a and_o licentious_a age_n for_o in_o these_o day_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o not_o only_a

also_o account_v other_o of_o like_a state_n in_o power_n and_o authority_n very_a fool_n and_o dastard_a if_o they_o of_o conscience_n forbear_v to_o do_v the_o same_o like_o in_o that_o to_o the_o
