shall_v miss_v so_o noble_a and_o so_o worthy_a a_o ruler_n and_o magistrate_n that_o bear_v they_o so_o great_a affection_n so_o ready_a to_o benefit_n all_o and_o hurt_v none_o and_o for_o the_o

of_o the_o realm_n may_v hereby_o receive_v admonition_n and_o cause_n of_o further_a circumspection_n and_o advigilancie_n for_o such_o valiant_a and_o courageous_a noble_a man_n be_v the_o bulwark_n

this_o noble_a earl_n be_v one_o of_o these_o number_n for_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o prince_n in_o the_o world_n that_o have_v a_o more_o faithful_a noble_a subject_n than_o her_o majesty_n have_v of_o he_o in_o his_o time_n and_o for_o the_o notable_a valiantness_n experience_n and_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o he_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o her_o majesty_n if_o he_o have_v live_v may_v have_v use_v his_o service_n to_o be_v a_o terror_n to_o all_o enemy_n foreign_a or_o domestical_a and_o now_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v somewhat_o of_o his_o great_a nobility_n his_o excellent_a

nature_n of_o nobility_n with_o the_o cause_n efficient_a and_o nobility_n final_a it_o seem_v unto_o i_o that_o nobility_n may_v be_v compare_v unto_o a_o river_n or_o a_o flood_n which_o in_o the_o

therefore_o can_v say_v somewhat_o therein_o and_o amongst_o other_o one_o thing_n be_v notable_a which_o in_o conference_n i_o receive_v at_o his_o mouth_n he_o affirm_v this_o in_o effect_n that_o
