at_o this_o day_n hinder_v they_o in_o they_o but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o french_a have_v not_o the_o skill_n of_o carry_v a_o moderate_a hand_n in_o government_n over_o such_o foreigner_n as_o

the_o kingdom_n of_o naples_n too_o together_o with_o the_o duchy_n of_o milan_n and_o for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o only_o because_o that_o they_o know_v not_o how_o through_o want_n of_o
