which_o have_v pass_v the_o seal_n both_o of_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o emperor_n for_o though_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o free_a council_n yet_o who_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o he_o have_v quite_o

these_o engagement_n be_v but_o since_o he_o be_v so_o very_o industrious_a this_o way_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o his_o design_n must_v be_v this_o to_o keep_v up_o and_o maintain_v his_o power_n
