of_o the_o other_o nation_n so_o the_o order_n also_o do_v participate_v i_o have_v ordain_v that_o every_o battle_n shall_v have_v v._o rank_n of_o pike_n in_o the_o front_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o

which_o may_v in_o every_o narowe_n place_n be_v handle_v luigi_n we_o look_v now_o with_o desire_n to_o understande_v how_o you_o will_v ordain_v the_o army_n to_o faight_o the_o field_n with_o
