that_o he_o dare_v not_o adventure_v to_o write_v himself_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n again_o you_o know_v time_n be_v when_o he_o will_v and_o will_v not_o be_v king_n when_o he_o refuse_v and_o

i_o ascribe_v to_o divine_a providence_n who_o admirable_a contrivance_n it_o be_v that_o the_o crown_n the_o sacred_a emblem_n of_o divine_a power_n and_o majesty_n shall_v never_o touch_v that_o

again_o he_o that_o be_v a_o king_n by_o birth_n must_v needs_o look_v upon_o his_o people_n as_o his_o own_o natural_a possession_n and_o be_v thereby_o engage_v to_o provide_v more_o affectionate_o for_o their_o good_a and_o welfare_n and_o to_o regard_v they_o with_o a_o more_o tender_a and_o paternal_a care_n last_o he_o that_o be_v such_o will_v be_v more_o sensible_a of_o honour_n and_o be_v

it_o cut_v off_o those_o mischief_n that_o common_o happen_v in_o the_o interval_n of_o government_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o such_o a_o great_a and_o important_a affair_n shall_v be_v transact_v
