this_o right_n into_o the_o prince_n hand_n as_o you_o may_v affirm_v such_o a_o paction_n so_o they_o deny_v and_o for_o conquest_n they_o say_v it_o can_v no_o more_o take_v away_o a_o know_a

for_o god_n more_o immediate_a honour_n and_o worship_n we_o can_v well_o appropriate_v this_o phrase_n to_o that_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_n which_o be_v past_a and_o unconversant_a with_o man_n
