altogether_o they_o let_v we_o see_v how_o man_n be_v bear_v into_o government_n and_o find_v themselves_o under_o the_o anticipation_n of_o it_o they_o call_v god_n the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o

can_v therefore_o but_o be_v think_v that_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n unto_o government_n shall_v be_v his_o will_n since_o otherwise_o he_o will_v not_o have_v contrive_v sufficient_o for_o
