you_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a to_o i_o that_o the_o knight_n of_o the_o parliament_n shall_v do_v the_o like_a we_o enter_v into_o band_n and_o then_o send_v for_o they_o and_o when_o they_o see_v

appoint_v a_o day_n to_o meet_v upon_o that_o ground_n and_o there_o meet_v but_o consider_v better_a of_o it_o that_o their_o valour_n be_v well_o know_v and_o what_o a_o vain_a thing_n it_o be_v
