more_o in_o the_o right_a now_o notwithstanding_o you_o have_v possible_o another_o case_n in_o your_o eye_n so_o that_o for_o aught_o i_o can_v see_v you_o may_v be_v as_o much_o out_o now_o as_o

beside_o your_o case_n of_o allegiance_n if_o compare_v with_o your_o case_n of_o resistance_n will_v have_v be_v very_o little_a to_o the_o purpose_n save_v only_o to_o serve_v a_o present_a case_n
