the_o match_n with_o spain_n whereof_o there_o be_v now_o great_a speech_n and_o good_a appearance_n we_o must_v resolve_v that_o it_o rest_v most_o in_o the_o disposition_n of_o god_n in_o who_o

find_v for_o that_o prince_n in_o all_o the_o world_n and_o let_v passionate_a man_n say_v what_o they_o will_v certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o continuance_n of_o peace_n and_o friendship_n with_o spain_n be_v as_o commodious_a to_o england_n as_o the_o keep_n of_o peace_n &_o friendship_n with_o any_o country_n whatsoever_o and_o this_o the_o prudent_a king_n henry_n the_o seven_o his_o

when_o there_o be_v no_o such_o greatness_n add_v unto_o it_o as_o now_o there_o be_v and_o the_o say_a prince_n fail_v for_o he_o be_v sickly_a when_o he_o marry_v &_o die_v before_o the_o marriage_n in_o all_o respect_n be_v consummate_v the_o say_a king_n henry_n neglect_v not_o to_o procure_v by_o dispensation_n the_o match_n to_o be_v make_v with_o his_o son_n henry_n who_o now_o be_v become_v his_o heir_n instead_o of_o the_o other_o and_o reygn_v after_o he_o by_o the_o name_n of_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o and_o albeit_o this_o king_n do_v put_v this_o his_o marry_a wife_n and_o
