so_o no_o long_o a_o queen_n first_o for_o the_o inequality_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o of_o france_n be_v both_o resolute_a prince_n and_o yet_o france_n challenge_v precedency_n before_o spain_n for_o five_o principal_a cause_n the_o first_o because_o the_o consent_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o learned_a be_v for_o france_n and_o not_o for_o spain_n the_o second_o because_o the_o french_a king_n have_v a_o long_a time_n have_v the_o honour_n to_o be_v emperor_n and_o not_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n the_o three_o because_o the_o french_a king_n have_v be_v call_v most_o christian_a king_n these_o many_o hundred_o year_n and_o ferdinando_n the_o five_o be_v the_o first_o and_o that_o but_o late_o that_o be_v call_v the_o catholic_n king_n of_o spain_n

which_o be_v keep_v at_o rome_n prefer_v france_n before_o spain_n next_o to_o france_n be_v england_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o same_o book_n which_o put_v england_n in_o the_o second_o place_n and_o
