be_v very_o likely_a that_o they_o not_o have_v be_v use_v to_o obey_v they_o will_v not_o know_v how_o to_o carry_v themselves_o to_o the_o prince_n as_o their_o lawful_a sovereign_a lord_n have_v accustom_a to_o treat_v with_o the_o late_a duke_n as_o familiar_a friend_n and_o not_o as_o subject_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v that_o this_o alteration_n will_v bring_v a_o notable_a change_n into_o their_o family_n foresee_v very_o well_o that_o if_o that_o young_a prince_n once_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o government_n of_o the_o state_n he_o will_v make_v they_o
