that_o all_o that_o the_o par_fw-fr lt_n have_v in_o view_n be_v the_o establish_n of_o his_o ma_n tie_v power_n and_o authority_n for_o the_o better_a confirmation_n of_o a_o little_a indulgence_n

that_o of_o supremacy_n he_o go_v about_o to_o settle_v the_o militia_n not_o as_o a_o simple_a countrey-conceit_n for_o the_o better_a train_n of_o man_n to_o the_o use_n of_o arm_n but_o upon_o
