so_o strange_a and_o unsociable_a to_o one_o another_o as_o we_o common_o observe_v they_o to_o be_v but_o their_o strangeness_n and_o enmity_n proceed_v either_o from_o interest_n or_o from_o some_o

with_o much_o mutual_a confidence_n and_o friendship_n but_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n that_o every_o prince_n within_o his_o own_o dominion_n be_v oblige_v to_o
