be_v that_o he_o and_o his_o subject_n will_v receive_v his_o religion_n than_o he_o will_v not_o only_o do_v he_o all_o friendship_n that_o in_o he_o lay_v but_o also_o assist_v he_o with_o all_o his_o may_v and_o power_n which_o at_o length_n be_v agree_v upon_o whereupon_o he_o do_v send_v he_o one_o of_o his_o patriarch_n and_o some_o of_o his_o priest_n which_o in_o process_n of_o time_n have_v this_o effect_n that_o now_o even_o at_o this_o day_n there_o be_v above_o twenty_o town_n in_o persia_n where_o the_o most_o of_o the_o inhabitant_n be_v addict_v to_o the_o religion_n of_o
