now_o we_o begin_v to_o suspect_v that_o because_o you_o have_v go_v so_o far_o in_o that_o course_n you_o think_v it_o will_v be_v some_o discredit_n as_o to_o be_v deem_v unconstant_a and_o a_o

of_o such_o peevishness_n proceed_v indeed_o from_o the_o root_n of_o pride_n &_o we_o wish_v you_o to_o submit_v yourself_o to_o your_o gracious_a princess_n her_o honourable_a council_n &_o to_o
