a_o dialogue_n concern_v the_o time_n between_o philobelgus_n and_o sophronius_n phil._n how_o be_v it_o sophronius_n how_o go_v the_o world_n now_o sophr._n go_v i_o believe_v not_o so_o well_o as_o

stand_v phil._n i_o conceive_v you_o but_o after_o all_o i_o must_v add_v that_o how_o singular_a soever_o a_o confirmation_n may_v look_v it_o be_v a_o expedient_a absolute_o necessary_a for_o beside_o some_o other_o defect_n in_o point_n of_o form_n the_o king_n writ_n and_o their_o omit_v to_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n above_o mention_v be_v such_o
