divine_a who_o know_v the_o story_n that_o i_o have_v relate_v publish_v it_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o catholic_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o crime_n which_o the_o calvinist_n be_v accuse_v of_o when_o

they_o immediate_o demand_v justice_n of_o the_o king_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o queen-mother_n for_o the_o injury_n that_o he_o who_o have_v publish_v this_o scandalous_a story_n have_v do_v
