much_o add_v to_o the_o flourish_a of_o this_o kingdom_n that_o you_o take_v such_o subject_n under_o your_o protection_n they_o conform_v to_o the_o law_n and_o pay_v all_o lawful_a custom_n of_o tribute_n and_o due_n whatsoever_o unto_o the_o civil_a state_n and_o herein_o we_o be_v not_o selfish_a and_o glance_n at_o a_o particular_a party_n but_o our_o thought_n and_o desire_n run_v
