the_o province_n of_o flanders_n be_v under_o the_o government_n thereof_o nor_o be_v this_o a_o bare_a union_n between_o prince_n and_o prince_n but_o it_o extend_v from_o nation_n to_o nation_n and_o almost_o from_o private_a man_n to_o private_a man_n so_o great_a be_v the_o consideration_n both_o of_o neighbourhood_n traffic_n and_o the_o conformity_n of_o government_n and_o of_o all_o other_o interest_n to_o make_v both_o people_n as_o it_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o every_o concern_v be_v then_o so_o unite_v between_o the_o flemish_a and_o the_o english_a how_o can_v i_o abandon_v those_o and_o not_o abandon_v these_o nothing_o be_v more_o just_a then_o to_o defend_v the_o oppress_a nothing_o more_o become_v a_o regal_a condition_n then_o to_o take_v such_o into_o

so_o near_o a_o conjunction_n nor_o ought_v the_o flemish_a to_o be_v ere_o a_o whit_n less_o assist_v by_o i_o out_o of_o justice_n than_o out_o of_o conveniency_n you_o see_v whether_o the_o

thereunto_o the_o design_n of_o oppress_a flanders_n be_v apparent_o see_v to_o the_o end_n that_o such_o force_n both_o by_o land_n and_o by_o sea_n may_v be_v plant_v there_o as_o may_v serve_v to_o make_v spain_n impose_v what_o law_n it_o shall_v please_v both_o upon_o the_o north_n and_o west_n in_o this_o case_n england_n and_o ireland_n be_v encompass_v therewith_o why_o may_v we_o not_o

yet_o how_o just_o may_v i_o complain_v of_o so_o many_o injury_n do_v to_o i_o by_o he_o what_o have_v he_o not_o endeavour_v to_o make_v ireland_n rebel_v against_o i_o what_o be_v his_o continual_a

may_v then_o be_v safe_o conclude_v that_o he_o now_o make_v open_a war_n up_o on_o i_o not_o out_o of_o any_o true_a reason_n but_o out_o of_o a_o false_a pretence_n and_o that_o his_o true_a end_n
