so_o dull_v and_o blunt_v the_o other_o that_o from_o henceforth_o it_o shall_v not_o cut_v but_o in_o measure_n and_o reason_n but_o to_o remedy_v the_o matter_n if_o you_o will_v follow_v my_o

the_o best_a mitten_n to_o lay_v hold_n of_o the_o cat_n but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o will_v fall_v out_o thereupon_o they_o will_v all_o flatlye_o make_v answer_v that_o they_o will_v do_v

of_o parliament_n to_o be_v confirm_v and_o ratify_v within_o their_o state_n and_o dominion_n and_o record_v it_o as_o a_o decree_n or_o re_fw-mi iudicata_fw-la for_o all_o posterity_n and_o so_o you_o may_v sit_v down_o upon_o your_o tail_n with_o all_o your_o pretence_n and_o take_v your_o ease_n whilst_o man_n come_v to_o kiss_v your_o foot_n and_o so_o that_o solemn_a disputation_n shall_v

to_o go_v into_o paradise_n or_o to_o hell_n and_o that_o they_o may_v lawful_o hereafter_o bear_v in_o their_o shield_n of_o arm_n a_o great_a pair_n of_o shears_n to_o witness_v to_o all_o

take_v your_o place_n from_o he_o there_o rest_v nothing_o now_o but_o to_o deal_v with_o that_o archduke_n albertus_n that_o dare_v be_v so_o bold_a to_o make_v a_o truce_n &_o to_o procure_v a_o peace_n with_o the_o heretic_n of_o holland_n it_o be_v not_o that_o a_o sufficient_a crime_n and_o a_o great_a offence_n to_o incur_v your_o sentence_n of_o displeasure_n but_o if_o you_o think_v
