ensue_a mischief_n have_v not_o spare_v nor_o refuse_v to_o use_v any_o good_a mean_n nor_o to_o give_v any_o true_a and_o upright_o counsel_v therein_o to_o the_o which_o end_n at_o the_o last_o

faithful_o and_o diligent_o labour_n and_o give_v our_o advice_n to_o procure_v that_o before_o we_o handle_v or_o deal_v in_o any_o other_o matter_n the_o hostile_a trouble_n raise_v in_o the_o

we_o be_v ready_a to_o the_o approve_v and_o admission_n of_o his_o imperial_a majesty_n as_o king_n of_o bohemia_n into_o the_o electoral_a college_n but_o rather_o oftentimes_o have_v protest_v
