some_o one_o parliament_n as_o we_o have_v have_v we_o thankful_o acknowledge_v the_o settlement_n of_o their_o royal_a majesty_n in_o the_o throne_n and_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o

that_o bishop_n always_o hinder_v the_o progress_n of_o the_o reformation_n as_o god_n make_v way_n for_o their_o majesty_n come_v to_o the_o throne_n of_o the_o kingdom_n by_o a_o vacancy_n so_o he_o
