be_v content_v the_o reason_n which_o oblige_v the_o assembly_n to_o speak_v thus_o be_v that_o the_o deputy_n of_o bearn_n give_v clear_a proof_n that_o the_o edict_n of_o 1599_o be_v daily_o

they_o be_v oblige_v to_o comply_v with_o the_o court_n in_o this_o point_n and_o to_o divide_v though_o much_o against_o their_o will_n the_o church_n of_o bearn_n from_o those_o of_o the_o other_o province_n in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o their_o affair_n while_o they_o be_v employ_v about_o the_o cahier_fw-fr there_o still_o assembly_n appear_v union_n in_o the_o assembly_n the_o marshal_n
