they_o think_v worthy_a even_o to_o be_v senator_n of_o rome_n and_o to_o give_v every_o one_o of_o the_o common_a people_n the_o privilege_n of_o the_o city_n of_o rome_n by_o which_o they_o be_v

at_o his_o first_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n do_v endeavour_v it_o but_o can_v not_o prevail_v but_o for_o all_o that_o i_o believe_v the_o scotch_a have_v now_o as_o many_o privilege_n

that_o their_o march_n shall_v be_v without_o damage_n to_o the_o country_n and_o that_o their_o errand_n be_v only_o to_o deliver_v a_o petition_n to_o the_o king_n for_o the_o redress_n of_o many_o
