of_o that_o nature_n they_o will_v resist_v he_o with_o all_o their_o force_n and_o in_o the_o stature_n of_o praemunire_n wherein_o as_o i_o have_v show_v the_o three_o estate_n of_o this_o realm_n

because_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n among_o sovereign_a prince_n as_o to_o the_o divinity_n of_o their_o title_n but_o that_o the_o sacred_a order_n of_o king_n in_o
