and_o contradistinct_a if_o the_o king_n power_n and_o authority_n with_o respect_n to_o its_o original_a efficient_a cause_n be_v neither_o conditional_a nor_o dependent_a it_o be_v then_o absolute_a as_o well_o as_o independent_a and_o therefore_o we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v in_o this_o sense_n as_o now_o explain_v the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v a_o absolute_a monarch_n but_o here_o i_o
