for_o the_o preservation_n of_o true_a religion_n our_o king_n our_o family_n and_o posterity_n 1._o all_o old_a quarrel_n and_o animosity_n must_v be_v forget_v and_o we_o must_v learn_v of_o our_o

to_o destroy_v the_o best_a of_o king_n and_o the_o protestant_a religion_n yea_o and_o to_o ruin_v these_o kingdom_n by_o turn_v we_o all_o into_o blood_n which_o design_n can_v never_o in_o their_o
