by_o the_o many_o oath_n that_o have_v be_v in_o use_n among_o they_o as_o be_v mark_v in_o this_o proclamation_n i_o be_o afraid_a this_o new_a oath_n will_v not_o much_o mend_v the_o matter_n

general_a word_n of_o violence_n and_o force_n be_v to_o be_v determine_v by_o these_o last_o of_o invincible_a necessity_n so_o that_o the_o king_n do_v only_o promise_v to_o lay_v no_o invincible_a
