i_o have_v know_v counsellor_n myself_o that_o in_o their_o chayer_n and_o readyng_n in_o their_o hall_n have_v seem_v eagle_n they_o have_v fly_v so_o high_a in_o their_o doctrine_n and_o

and_o to_o make_v he_o also_o take_v pain_n to_o study_v his_o case_n thorough_o be_v true_a that_o the_o counsellor_n geeve_v law_n as_o he_o have_v reward_n and_o that_o the_o counsellor_n also_o

courtier_n must_v learn_v to_o know_v the_o noble_a man_n and_o chief_a officer_n of_o the_o prince_n as_o the_o lord_n chaunceller_n the_o lord_n treasurer_n the_o lord_n marshal_n the_o lord_n

fearful_a nor_o regard_v their_o quality_n and_o complexion_n much_o less_o their_o person_n save_v only_o their_o authority_n and_o office_n they_o have_v and_o to_o say_v true_o it_o can_v be_v
