insufferable_a oppression_n and_o so_o against_o the_o king_n mind_n second_o pretence_n that_o to_o rechange_v upon_o the_o same_o term_n as_o be_v deliver_v out_o be_v no_o damage_n to_o any_o

the_o loss_n by_o rechange_v than_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o subject_n will_v be_v the_o great_a for_o that_o will_v enhance_v the_o prize_n of_o provision_n which_o be_v the_o begger_a of_o a_o
