his_o majesty_n shall_v be_v entreat_v and_o sue_v unto_o to_o take_v that_o great_a dignity_n upon_o he_o that_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o they_o of_o the_o low_a country_n perceive_v their_o

the_o exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o general_o to_o enjoy_v the_o selfsame_a benefit_n which_o his_o majesty_n subject_n than_o do_v by_o his_o permission_n it_o be_v the_o selfsame_a and_o the_o chief_a reason_n that_o move_v the_o queen_n of_o england_n to_o make_v league_n with_o his_o majesty_n a_o little_a before_o the_o murder_n but_o now_o contrariwise_o his_o majesty_n be_v

than_o to_o have_v do_v that_o deed_n and_o if_o his_o majesty_n continue_v his_o purpose_n of_o make_v war_n against_o the_o protestant_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o in_o his_o realm_n the_o say_a earl_n can_v assure_v he_o that_o the_o duke_n his_o brother_n leave_v he_o in_o that_o plight_n to_o go_v into_o polonia_n shall_v never_o be_v welcome_a thither_o but_o the_o people_n of_o
