the_o charge_n and_o the_o burden_n of_o it_o to_o 〈◊〉_d this_o do_v arise_v partly_o out_o of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o their_o come_n in_o it_o will_v shorten_v the_o war_n for_o as_o long_o

of_o all_o at_o last_o but_o the_o benefit_n will_v appear_v by_o the_o shorten_n of_o the_o war_n in_o this_o further_o by_o those_o misery_n and_o that_o poverty_n and_o that_o calamity_n which_o a_o long_a war_n must_v of_o necessity_n bring_v with_o it_o the_o wealth_n of_o this_o kingdom_n i_o suppose_v it_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o soil_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o
