and_o other_o small_a republic_n perform_v it_o both_o as_o a_o respect_n to_o the_o crown_a head_n of_o england_n and_o as_o a_o salutation_n of_o peace_n and_o friendship_n also_o but_o crown_v head_n can_v perform_v it_o as_o to_o one_o of_o a_o superior_a order_n because_o they_o be_v in_o a_o parity_n and_o equality_n of_o degree_n but_o they_o do_v it_o upon_o the_o late_a account_n only_o as_o it_o be_v a_o expression_n of_o peace_n and_o amity_n the_o dutch_a and_o other_o do_v not_o by_o the_o flag_n and_o topsail_n recognize_v the_o king_n of_o england_n as_o sovereign_a of_o
