if_o there_o be_v any_o war_n in_o italy_n betwixt_o two_o mighty_a prince_n such_o as_o be_v charles_n of_o spain_n and_o francis_n of_o france_n they_o may_v indeed_o much_o further_o his_o affair_n

a_o far_a point_n in_o this_o matter_n which_o be_v that_o as_o long_o as_o he_o shall_v make_v war_n there_o as_o lieutenant_z to_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n he_o may_v do_v much_o harm_n but_o if_o
