and_o wherein_o the_o king_n himself_o pronounce_v the_o article_n with_o his_o own_o li_n this_o treaty_n ought_v to_o be_v inviolable_a to_o the_o party_n who_o it_o behoove_v to_o be_v content_a

to_o legitimate_a the_o consent_n of_o the_o catholic_n in_o thing_n that_o concern_v their_o religion_n but_o this_o objection_n be_v the_o most_o infirm_a and_o the_o fall_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n the_o most_o infirm_a because_o that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a it_o will_v stand_v the_o raiser_n of_o it_o in_o no_o stead_n the_o false_a in_o regard_n there_o be_v a_o assembly_n of_o all_o the_o
