be_v evident_a through_o de_fw-fr avila_n whole_a history_n of_o the_o civil_a war_n of_o france_n the_o history_n of_o the_o protestant_n of_o the_o upper_a hungary_n and_o of_o bohemia_n may_v in_o

the_o papist_n it_o will_v be_v practise_v what_o we_o condemn_v and_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v include_v in_o what_o go_v before_o viz._n take_v the_o

to_o make_v their_o extirpation_n just_a that_o justice_n however_o suspend_v in_o mercy_n to_o they_o hitherto_o will_v absolute_o justify_v remove_v they_o from_o those_o government_n and_o by_o
