the_o book_n bear_v the_o name_n of_o king_n charles_n and_o have_v for_o many_o year_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v his_o and_o if_o dr._n gauden_n shall_v have_v say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o

vnder-secretary_n and_o clerk_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o any_o man_n to_o believe_v but_o that_o they_o know_v that_o their_o father_n be_v universal_o acknowledge_v and_o repute_v for_o the_o

however_o the_o doctor_n add_v what_o understanding_n man_n believe_v all_o the_o other_o particular_a piece_n which_o make_v up_o the_o whole_a volume_n of_o the_o king_n work_n to_o be_v original_o
