our_o own_o country_n and_o our_o own_o church_n ever_o since_o the_o reformation_n have_v be_v more_o or_o less_o a_o continue_a evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o remark_n how_o melancholy_a

please_v god_n upon_o a_o sudden_a to_o take_v off_o that_o queen_n and_o put_v such_o a_o end_n to_o their_o danger_n as_o nothing_o else_o can_v have_v do_v but_o though_o by_o this_o mean_n
