be_v bind_v to_o what_o be_v impossible_a no_o tyrant_n ever_o bind_v his_o subject_n to_o impossibilitye_n and_o shall_v god_n do_v it_o from_o who_o so_o barbarous_a cruelty_n be_v most_o far_o

which_o malice_n they_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v mortal_a syn_n before_o god_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o wherefore_o shall_v i_o rather_o attend_v to_o good_a work_n with_o the_o afflict_a &_o
