your_o inference_n then_o be_v most_o childish_a that_o either_o we_o must_v admit_v tyranny_n to_o be_v god_n ordinance_n or_o else_o we_o may_v resist_v it_o for_o you_o see_v that_o he_o who_o

you_o will_v answer_v christ_n suffer_v they_o not_o to_o resist_v because_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o suffer_v this_o be_v true_a indeed_o he_o be_v most_o willing_a to_o suffer_v but_o yet_o the_o
