of_o m._n i_o will_v not_o say_v while_o the_o king_n reign_v though_o some_o extravagant_a hotheaded_a man_n have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o discourse_v these_o thing_n but_o not_o any_o worthy_a man_n i_o know_v those_o that_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v call_v by_o that_o name_n have_v declare_v in_o my_o hear_n that_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o d._n of_o y._n if_o the_o king_n be_v seize_v they_o will_v stand_v by_o the_o d._n of_o m._n there_o be_v other_o i_o will_v not_o give_v nickname_n to_o any_o you_o be_v wise_a man_n and_o know_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o speak_v in_o the_o

and_o there_o in_o the_o city_n which_o i_o do_v very_o frequent_o do_v but_o the_o way_n of_o these_o gentleman_n discourse_v these_o thing_n be_v only_o one_o at_o a_o time_n especial_o a_o very_a

will_v tempt_v and_o provoke_v man_n to_o betray_v one_o another_o when_o god_n have_v a_o work_n to_o do_v he_o will_v not_o want_v instrument_n for_o he_o can_v make_v they_o nor_o will_v he_o
