will_v tie_v his_o general_n to_o straight_a limit_n that_o he_o do_v likewise_o very_o circumspect_o instruct_v and_o direct_v he_o in_o those_o service_n he_o have_v to_o perform_v which_o be_v

what_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v or_o how_o shall_v those_o that_o be_v absent_a give_v prescription_n to_o he_o that_o be_v and_o must_v be_v in_o present_a view_n and_o not_o bereave_v he_o of_o those_o advantage_n that_o the_o variety_n of_o time_n and_o occasion_n may_v offer_v some_o prince_n and_o state_n that_o have_v be_v suspicious_a of_o their_o captain_n have_v bridle_v they_o by_o
