at_o our_o entrance_n we_o can_v easy_o imagine_v that_o the_o ban_n against_o our_o most_o honour_a lord_n and_o father_n the_o execution_n of_o the_o same_o together_o with_o the_o translation_n

be_v to_o enlarge_v those_o deduction_n which_o be_v already_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o our_o say_a lord_n and_o father_n not_o long_o before_o his_o death_n cause_v
