to_o this_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o add_v that_o god_n know_v how_o soon_o our_o condition_n may_v have_v alter_v for_o the_o worse_a if_o the_o war_n have_v continue_v much_o long_o our_o enemy_n

have_v so_o wise_a and_o brave_a a_o prince_n to_o fight_v our_o battle_n for_o we_o yet_o consider_v that_o humane_a strength_n and_o policy_n be_v not_o always_o infallible_a and_o that_o the_o
