7.  The parenthesis divydes in the period a sentence interlaced on sum occurrences q_uhi_lk coheres be noe syntax w_i_th that q_uhi_lk preceedes and followes; as, for exemple of beath, and to conclud this treatesse: 

  Bless, guyd, advance, preserve, prolong Lord (if thy pleasur be)
  Our King and Queen, and keep their seed thy name to magnifie.
