manifest_a to_o all_o that_o the_o noble_a princely_a and_o christian_a succour_n he_o have_v afford_v our_o injure_a king_n be_v more_o provoke_a than_o all_o the_o oppression_n in_o the_o world_n to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v what_o immediate_o follow_v in_o the_o same_o sermon_n and_o this_o make_v war_n in_o a_o more_o barbarous_a manner_n than_o the_o most_o barbarous_a nation_n ever_o do_v

and_o desolation_n than_o fire_v a_o few_o town_n and_o destroy_v a_o crop_n of_o corn_n or_o some_o vineyard_n but_o perhaps_o our_o author_n have_v not_o his_o bible_n ready_a but_o may_v think_v
