his_o valour_n be_v the_o least_o part_n of_o his_o glory_n this_o wisdom_n &_o this_o excellent_a counsel_n so_o far_o as_o it_o concern_v the_o sovereign_a consist_v not_o only_o in_o the_o well_o

that_o our_o enterprise_n be_v just_a and_o consequent_o the_o conquest_n thereof_o proceed_v if_o we_o be_v so_o timorous_a as_o for_o a_o threat_n cowardly_a to_o forgo_v that_o which_o we_o have_v so_o lawful_o and_o happy_o achieve_v then_o farewell_n all_o there_o be_v no_o more_o frenchman_n no_o more_o gaul_n in_o the_o world_n for_o how_o can_v any_o man_n imagine_v that_o this_o valiant_a
