forbear_v it_o that_o they_o may_v not_o undergo_v the_o contempt_n of_o see_v their_o decree_n reject_v and_o their_o authority_n despise_v whence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o cause_n cease_v

they_o shall_v trouble_v the_o peace_n of_o rome_n will_v compel_v they_o to_o unite_v themselves_o more_o firm_o with_o the_o spaniard_n a_o thing_n the_o french_a will_v endeavour_v to_o obstruct_v
