order_v i_o to_o supersede_n all_o negotiation_n which_o may_v make_v he_o enter_v into_o new_a engagement_n with_o swedeland_n england_n and_o portugal_n although_o we_o be_v continual_o solicit_v

those_o who_o interest_n it_o be_v to_o see_v it_o conclude_v sear_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o behold_v a_o strict_a friendship_n make_v between_o the_o two_o king_n because_o both_o one_o and_o
