i_o go_v on_o further_o to_o let_v the_o reader_n full_o understand_v who_o and_o what_o the_o say_v stephen_n be_v he_o be_v it_o seem_v nephew_n to_o the_o former_a king_n and_o if_o we_o credit_v some_o historian_n a_o kind_a of_o son_n in_o law_n also_o he_o have_v a_o feud_n in_o france_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n be_v call_v earl_n or_o prince_n of_o bologne_n a_o little_a

of_o any_o in_o the_o whole_a low_a country_n this_o stephen_n who_o well_o know_v it_o seem_v how_o to_o forswear_v and_o break_v a_o oath_n for_o advantage_n have_v now_o as_o i_o say_v usurp_v

that_o more_o than_o once_o swear_v the_o forementioned_a oath_n which_o again_o particular_o oblige_v he_o to_o a_o true_a and_o steady_a allegiance_n to_o his_o prince_n and_o lawful_a successor_n and_o yet_o now_o run_v counter_a to_o it_o as_o well_o by_o distinction_n and_o insinuate_a discourse_n as_o by_o the_o shameful_a and_o overt_a act._n yet_o not_o to_o make_v the_o devil_n ugly_a than_o he_o be_v though_o it_o be_v the_o new_a mode_n to_o blacken_v even_a angel_n of_o light_n this_o precious_a divine_a notwithstanding_o his_o several_a idle_a sophism_n have_v more_o sense_n

to_o pretend_v to_o so_o silly_a a_o thing_n see_v stephen_n have_v never_o fight_v for_o the_o crown_n nor_o ever_o direct_o or_o indirect_o stand_v upon_o any_o right_n of_o force_n but_o take_v

a_o horrid_a perjury_n how_o black_a and_o unexcusable_a must_v the_o breach_n now_o be_v when_o our_o religion_n be_v so_o pure_a when_o the_o oath_n be_v so_o declaratory_a against_o any_o evasion_n

be_v but_o pleasant_a and_o the_o argument_n also_o be_v much_o to_o be_v heed_v to_o hear_v a_o man_n upon_o the_o success_n of_o a_o rebellion_n or_o the_o like_a grave_o to_o philosophise_v and_o positive_o to_o assert_v that_o we_o be_v absolve_v from_o our_o oath_n nor_o be_v it_o less_o agreeable_a when_o we_o ask_v the_o reason_n why_o to_o have_v this_o excellent_a one_o palm_a upon_o
