nobleman_n of_o his_o own_o country_n and_o it_o be_v no_o less_o strange_a that_o every_o nobleman_n of_o ireland_n shall_v be_v potent_a enough_o to_o right_v his_o own_o cause_n against_o any_o

against_o the_o most_o base_a rascal_n that_o ever_o march_v under_o the_o title_n of_o a_o rebel_n the_o mystery_n of_o this_o matter_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v decide_v for_o although_o i_o know_v
