your_o majesty_n shall_v always_o have_v a_o strong_a party_n at_o his_o own_o door_n in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n to_o restrain_v his_o malice_n who_o since_o they_o depend_v upon_o your_o majesty_n

of_o spain_n without_o the_o low_a country_n he_o may_v trouble_v our_o skirt_n of_o ireland_n but_o can_v never_o come_v to_o grasp_v with_o you_o but_o if_o he_o once_o reduce_v the_o
