from_o think_v be_v a_o good_a one_o this_o be_v the_o case_n it_o be_v no_o extraordinary_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o richmont_n rank_n to_o marry_v a_o lady_n that_o be_v then_o at_o such_o a_o distance_n from_o the_o crown_n tho'_o it_o be_v only_o in_o the_o 6_o and_o not_o the_o 16_o degree_n but_o i_o do_v not_o insist_v on_o this_o because_o it_o may_v be_v only_o the_o

and_o then_o the_o 15_o year_n of_o her_o age_n will_v fall_v in_o the_o year_n 1526_o and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o king_n begin_v to_o court_v she_o in_o the_o year_n 1527_o here_o be_v
