disgrace_v that_o mighty_a and_o warlike_a nation_n and_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o spaniard_n be_v proud_a shall_v he_o therefore_o impugn_v their_o reputation_n publish_v through_o the_o

be_v it_o not_o more_o dishonourable_a than_o any_o thing_n i_o have_v write_v king_n ferdinand_n not_o be_v able_a to_o make_v any_o resistance_n read_v the_o chronicle_n of_o john_n the_o second_o
