upon_o the_o pleasure_n of_o other_o prince_n and_o state_n and_o when_o our_o necessity_n shall_v most_o require_v the_o same_o we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o purchase_v so_o precious_a a_o

the_o many_o casualty_n of_o wind_n and_o wether_n the_o danger_n of_o shipwreck_n and_o the_o interception_n of_o pirate_n and_o enemy_n and_o these_o may_v happen_v in_o time_n of_o our_o great_a
