all_o state_n that_o be_v liberal_a of_o naturalisation_n towards_o stranger_n be_v fit_a for_o empire_n for_o to_o think_v that_o a_o handful_n of_o people_n can_v with_o the_o great_a courage_n

therefore_o it_o sort_v with_o they_o according_o for_o they_o grow_v to_o the_o great_a monarchy_n their_o manner_n be_v to_o grant_v naturalisation_n which_o they_o call_v ius_n civitatis_fw-la
