of_o the_o land_n we_o shall_v need_v to_o give_v it_o no_o other_o answer_n then_o this_o that_o if_o to_o raise_v a_o army_n in_o our_o own_o just_a defence_n when_o another_o be_v march_v towards_o

unless_o these_o contriver_n will_v deny_v we_o to_o have_v any_o part_n or_o interest_n in_o that_o style_n or_o title_n of_o gentry_n and_o though_o we_o know_v very_o well_o there_o be_v too_o
