in_o his_o description_n of_o those_o country_n the_o whole_a wealth_n and_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n seem_v to_o slow_a thither_o and_o i_o myself_o can_v remember_v to_o have_v see_v such_o

they_o content_v and_o thereby_o to_o be_v gratful_a to_o his_o king_n at_o his_o return_n home_o and_o partly_o also_o for_o that_o if_o he_o shall_v attempt_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o

they_o take_v heed_n what_o they_o do_v and_o who_o they_o offend_v so_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o nobility_n be_v far_o different_a under_o such_o a_o strange_a government_n as_o this_o be_v term_v

say_a infanta_n of_o spain_n do_v descend_v three_o also_o from_o henry_n the_o three_o son_n of_o king_n john_n by_o the_o duke_n of_o brittany_n as_o before_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n have_v

at_o composition_n least_o be_v pass_v over_o to_o the_o issue_n of_o their_o sister_n which_o rest_v in_o the_o infanta_n again_o they_o say_v that_o all_o these_o three_o branch_n of_o the_o line_n
