as_o wherein_o justice_n be_v deny_v there_o answer_n to_o the_o seven_o proposition_n that_o for_o the_o complaint_n that_o be_v or_o may_v be_v make_v of_o the_o scottish_a army_n to_o the_o

scot_n from_o the_o enemy_n in_o their_o possession_n namely_o carlisle_n and_o newcastle_n as_o place_n fit_a for_o their_o plantation_n from_o the_o one_o they_o do_v think_v to_o spread_v their_o
