to_o think_v may_v be_v good_a and_o equitable_a m_n you_o right_o understand_v it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n i_o will_v say_v but_o now_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o consider_v what_o

according_a to_o the_o idea_n of_o he_o m_o nothing_o more_o likely_a b_o a_o good_a king_n than_o be_v no_o less_o severe_a and_o inexorable_a than_o a_o good_a law_n m_o he_o be_v even_o as_o

even_o to_o the_o poor_a in_o judgement_n but_o command_v we_o to_o respect_v that_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v just_a and_o equal_a and_o to_o pronounce_v sentence_n according_o m_o i_o do_v

of_o their_o duty_n b_o on_o the_o contrary_n i_o see_v no_o difference_n let_v we_o grant_v that_o a_o king_n be_v at_o liberty_n and_o solve_v from_o the_o law_n shall_v we_o grant_v he_o the_o
