a_o way_n first_o you_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n for_o certain_o all_o the_o way_n you_o ever_o have_v have_v yet_o as_o i_o can_v find_v by_o any_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o conquest_n certain_o this_o be_v a_o ill_a way_n for_o conquest_n sir_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v never_o just_a except_o there_o be_v a_o good_a just_a cause_n either_o for_o matter_n of_o wrong_n or_o just_a

it_o be_v only_a matter_n of_o conquest_n than_o it_o be_v a_o great_a robbery_n as_o a_o pirate_n say_v to_o alexander_n the_o great_a that_o he_o be_v the_o great_a robber_n he_o be_v but_o a_o

never_o do_v right_a nor_o god_n will_v never_o prosper_v you_o until_o you_o give_v god_n his_o due_a the_o king_n his_o due_z that_o be_v my_o successor_n and_o the_o people_n their_o due_a i_o be_o as_o much_o for_o they_o as_o any_o of_o you_o you_o must_v give_v god_n his_o due_a by_o regulate_v right_o his_o church_n according_a to_o his_o scripture_n which_o be_v now_o out_o of_o order_n for_o to_o set_v you_o in_o a_o way_n particular_o now_o i_o can_v but_o only_o this_o a_o national_a synod_n free_o call_v free_o debate_v among_o themselves_o must_v settle_v this_o when_o that_o every_o opinion_n be_v free_o and_o clear_o hear_v for_o the_o king_n indeed_o i_o will_v not_o then_o turn_v to_o a_o gentleman_n that_o touch_v the_o axe_n he_o say_v hurt_v not_o the_o axe_n that_o
