rule_v and_o govern_v they_o and_o dispose_v also_o and_o order_v at_o his_o pleasure_n whatsoever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n notwithstanding_o we_o deem_v he_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o evil_a or_o of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v amiss_o in_o any_o wise_n to_o deserve_v blame_n see_v that_o his_o will_n be_v the_o chief_a and_o most_o certain_a mark_n and_o rule_v of_o righteousness_n
