only_o on_o the_o king_n side_n where_o the_o pen_n and_o the_o lance_n be_v both_o brandish_a in_o the_o same_o hand_n and_o it_o be_v wise_o order_v for_o the_o king_n interest_n will_v be_v the_o

without_o mention_n at_o all_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o orator_n to_o blazon_v the_o bloody_a shield_n of_o war_n in_o general_a when_o it_o be_v his_o sole_a charge_n to_o dispute_v who_o be_v the_o guilty_a causer_n and_o promoter_n of_o this_o particular_a war_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o to_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v or_o at_o most_o upon_o his_o own_o credit_n to_o affirm_v it_o
