and_o in_o war_n especial_o have_v her_o principal_a dominion_n your_o lordship_n must_v watch_v opportunity_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o matter_n and_o conveniency_n of_o your_o action_n &_o make_v

to_o seek_v it_o than_o you_o must_v seek_v it_o wise_o and_o with_o good_a mean_n because_o such_o opportunity_n as_o be_v force_v and_o as_o it_o be_v beg_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n neither_o

to_o the_o end_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o occasion_n that_o be_v offer_v be_v not_o always_o to_o purpose_n your_o lordship_n must_v use_v great_a judgement_n which_o will_v measure_v and_o
