he_o and_o his_o princess_n king_n and_o queen_n of_o england_n which_o by_o the_o way_n i_o very_o believe_v be_v the_o only_a way_n thing_n be_v in_o such_o a_o posture_n as_o they_o be_v to_o

to_o the_o church_n this_o age_n have_v produce_v for_o it_o be_v such_o a_o temper_n as_o he_o have_v always_o manifest_v throughout_o his_o whole_a life_n and_o conversation_n that_o must_v heal_v
