of_o their_o prince_n act_n as_o they_o shall_v in_o duty_n do_v will_v be_v too_o apt_a many_o time_n to_o sow_v their_o own_o private_a discontent_n all_o the_o country_n over_o and_o the_o

which_o will_v soon_o discover_v themselves_o in_o word_n or_o action_n and_o then_o the_o king_n can_v be_v secure_a of_o their_o obedience_n but_o will_v be_v force_v to_o have_v a_o watchful_a
