what_o right_o have_v the_o spaniard_n over_o the_o indian_n save_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v give_v they_o the_o say_a land_n and_o i_o leave_v to_o your_o judgement_n what_o right_o he_o have_v

here_o may_v express_v reason_n be_v allege_v for_o such_o judgement_n of_o god_n which_o seem_v severe_a to_o man_n be_v nevertheless_o in_o that_o they_o proceed_v from_o god_n mere_a justice_n moses_n say_v when_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n have_v reject_v they_o before_o thy_o face_n think_v not_o in_o thy_o heart_n say_v the_o lord_n for_o my_o righteousness_n have_v cause_v i_o to_o

true_a it_o be_v that_o as_o in_o a_o cleeare_a sunny_a light_n we_o may_v more_o easy_o discern_v all_o that_o be_v object_n to_o our_o sight_n even_o so_o of_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o holy_a
