to_o make_v great_a alteration_n here_o with_o very_o little_a force_n consider_v the_o disuse_n in_o man_n to_o war_n and_o trouble_n will_v so_o amaze_v they_o as_o he_o think_v that_o they_o will_v

in_o so_o great_a a_o action_n i_o say_v it_o be_v to_o be_v resolve_v that_o the_o force_n to_o be_v send_v shall_v be_v of_o that_o number_n that_o what_o back_v soever_o they_o shall_v find_v here_o they_o may_v be_v able_a of_o themselves_o to_o encounter_v with_o any_o force_n that_o may_v be_v provide_v to_o be_v send_v against_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o can_v not_o be_v less_o
