who_o be_v at_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o say_a army_n know_v that_o i_o go_v so_o far_o as_o strasbrough_n through_o the_o instant_a entreaty_n then_o make_v to_o i_o by_o letter_n from_o the_o

shall_v be_v think_v in_o respect_n of_o what_o i_o have_v promise_v scant_a master_n of_o my_o sense_n to_o go_v cast_v myself_o down_o headlong_o and_o so_o with_o the_o council_n of_o my_o lord_n

for_o the_o space_n of_o three_o month_n &_o see_v that_o the_o word_n of_o his_o majesty_n be_v disdain_v and_o that_o one_o of_o the_o town_n be_v now_o to_o be_v defend_v from_o a_o furious_a

which_o be_v under_o the_o protection_n of_o the_o king_n &_o how_o i_o may_v sufficient_o behold_v that_o against_o effect_n of_o such_o puissance_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o bring_v unnecessary_a
