for_o though_o he_o do_v not_o nor_o can_v not_o make_v all_o man_n the_o king_n enemy_n yet_o he_o make_v all_o that_o appertain_v to_o he_o to_o be_v the_o king_n enemy_n so_o likewise_o the_o

first_o forswear_v marriage_n so_o that_o y_fw-fr e_o vow_n be_v first_o make_v ere_o that_o that_o pristhoode_n be_v géeven_v now_o if_o he_o be_v not_o a_o enemy_n in_o very_a deed_n unto_o
