my_o lord_n of_o leicester_n who_o have_v marry_v his_o mother_n a_o tie_n of_o affinity_n which_o beside_o a_o more_o urgent_a obligation_n may_v have_v invite_v his_o care_n to_o advance_v he_o

to_o take_v into_o observation_n two_o notable_a quotation_n the_o first_o be_v a_o violent_a indulgency_n of_o the_o queen_n which_o be_v incident_a to_o old_a age_n where_o it_o encounter_v with_o
