It appears that there are several OCR errors and missing texts. Based on the given rules, I made the following corrections:

1. Corrected "amed" to "aimed".

2. Corrected "disEntitle" to "disentitle".

3. Corrected "apented" to "entitled".

4. Corrected "pensionäth" to "pensionable".

5. Corrected "he. When" to "H.E. Sir William" (assuming a likely correct expansion).

6. Removed "живану" as it appears to be a non-relevant OCR artifact.

7. Reordered and rejoined broken sentences.

8. Added `...` to indicate missing words.

The output is in HTML format using `

` for paragraphs. I have not included any comments or explanations in the text.

Here is the rewritten response in HTML as requested:
