wherewith_o the_o catholic_a church_n or_o her_o child_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o celebrate_v our_o b._n lady_n memory_n for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o rather_o school_v boy_n than_o school_n man_n

that_o queen_n be_v call_v the_o queen_n of_o his_o subject_n of_o who_o person_n howsoever_o the_o king_n alone_o can_v dispose_v in_o rigour_n yet_o who_o among_o they_o be_v indeed_o a_o loyal_a
