the_o book_n bear_v the_o name_n of_o king_n charles_n and_o have_v for_o many_o year_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v his_o and_o if_o dr._n gauden_n shall_v have_v say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o

to_o determine_v the_o controversy_n between_o two_o rival_n author_n on_o the_o one_o side_n there_o be_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o book_n itself_o which_o in_o every_o line_n own_v itself_o to_o
