that_o they_o may_v enjoy_v their_o life_n and_o fortune_n which_o they_o be_v afraid_a of_o lose_v with_o great_a security_n than_o before_o and_o of_o this_o intent_n shall_v such_o a_o nation_n

if_o by_o those_o law_n their_o substance_n shall_v be_v diminish_v for_o the_o safeguard_v whereof_o as_o also_o for_o the_o security_n of_o their_o person_n they_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n
