past_a to_o the_o time_n present_a will_v not_o be_v sound_a and_o perfect_a for_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o in_o the_o former_a time_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v spain_n be_v not_o so_o

but_o because_o i_o will_v say_v nothing_o that_o may_v favour_v of_o a_o spirit_n of_o flattery_n or_o censure_n of_o the_o present_a government_n first_o therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o

that_o idle_a tradition_n in_o more_o ancient_a time_n leave_v their_o purchase_n in_o africa_n which_o they_o after_o abandon_v when_o their_o great_a emperor_n charles_n have_v clasp_v germany_n

force_n of_o all_o nation_n which_o for_o many_o year_n they_o have_v have_v on_o foot_n upon_o one_o occasion_n or_o other_o and_o if_o there_o shall_v happen_v the_o misfortune_n of_o a_o battle_n it_o will_v be_v a_o long_a work_n to_o draw_v on_o supply_n they_o tell_v a_o tale_n of_o a_o spanish_a ambassador_n that_o be_v bring_v to_o see_v the_o treasury_n of_o st._n mark_v at_o venice_n
