many_o year_n have_v hazard_v both_o life_n and_o good_n without_o fee_n or_o recompense_n and_o as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n to_o maintain_v their_o highness_n in_o their_o estate_n

it_o be_v in_o your_o highness_n to_o acknowledge_v it_o and_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n which_o all_o the_o world_n may_v well_o remember_v as_o well_o our_o friend_n as_o our_o enemy_n but_o that_o
