you_o say_v that_o upon_o this_o occasion_n and_o just_a quarrel_n they_o raise_v several_a army_n wherein_o be_v man_n of_o very_a great_a honour_n power_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o kingdom_n it_o

they_o can_v spare_v none_o to_o disband_v 4._o but_o fourthly_a if_o the_o point_n of_o disband_v have_v be_v propose_v and_o they_o willing_o submit_v thereto_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o
