short_a answer_n to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o 1._o for_o religion_n my_o lord_n we_o say_v and_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o he_o have_v be_v diligent_a indeed_o to_o favour_v innovation_n to_o

to_o yield_v up_o some_o part_n to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o may_v with_o more_o security_n enjoy_v the_o rest_n 4._o for_o the_o strength_n and_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n my_o lord_n in_o a_o time_n of_o peace_n he_o have_v let_v in_o upon_o we_o the_o calamity_n of_o war_n weakness_n shame_n and_o confusion_n 5._o and_o for_o the_o quiet_a of_o the_o subject_n he_o have_v
