happiness_n of_o they_o to_o our_o posterity_n which_o if_o our_o sin_n do_v not_o hinder_v good_a thing_n from_o we_o shall_v no_o doubt_n be_v accomplish_v for_o now_o the_o two_o piece_n of_o

which_o in_o this_o edict_n of_o the_o king_n he_o see_v so_o full_o permit_v and_o accomplish_v and_o sure_o the_o consideration_n hereof_o be_v much_o worth_n and_o of_o holy_a edify_n in_o our_o
