disquietness_n or_o doubt_n in_o we_o and_o as_o the_o say_a king_n have_v hold_v a_o stiff_a hand_n to_o maintain_v only_o one_o religion_n in_o his_o realm_n although_o he_o with_o open_a edict_n

have_v do_v since_o we_o come_v to_o our_o crown_n and_o to_o suffer_v no_o permission_n or_o wink_v at_o of_o any_o other_o religion_n then_o that_o which_o we_o and_o our_o realm_n have_v always_o
