a_o declaration_n of_o the_o just_a cause_n of_o his_o majesty_n proceed_v against_o those_o minister_n who_o be_v now_o lie_v in_o prison_n attaint_v of_o high_a treason_n as_o his_o majesty_n

this_o purpose_n he_o have_v ever_o from_o time_n to_o time_n by_o public_a declaration_n and_o proclamation_n interpret_v and_o explain_v to_o all_o his_o love_a subject_n his_o true_a intention_n
