the_o usage_n of_o england_n whosoever_o refuse_v to_o strike_v be_v to_o be_v prosecute_v as_o a_o rebel_n not_o as_o a_o uncivil_a person_n and_o i_o find_v that_o the_o crown_n of_o france_n where_o it_o pretend_v to_o any_o sovereignty_n of_o the_o sea_n do_v enforce_v the_o strike_n of_o the_o sail_n and_o flag_n in_o a_o uncivil_a manner_n possit_fw-la since_o those_o that_o refuse_v
