these_o agreement_n have_v be_v another_o cause_n why_o we_o have_v repress_v our_o desire_n and_o not_o prosecute_v our_o right_n last_o when_o we_o conquer_v france_n and_o have_v continual_a war_n therewith_o the_o realm_n be_v not_o then_o as_o it_o have_v be_v of_o late_a year_n unite_v void_a of_o dissension_n free_a from_o civil_a war_n in_o the_o hand_n and_o under_o the_o government_n

and_o when_o you_o see_v this_o than_o you_o may_v bold_o say_v that_o thing_n be_v at_o the_o worst_a that_o violent_a course_n can_v long_o endure_v that_o a_o time_n of_o a_o change_n and_o
