captivity_n they_o have_v no_o monarch_n in_o israel_n such_o be_v only_o they_o that_o be_v the_o descendant_n of_o david_n as_o the_o jewish_a rabbin_n tell_v we_o and_o they_o be_v subordinate_a

will_v too_o submit_v to_o a_o monarchy_n if_o my_o king_n be_v omnipotent_a omnipresent_a omniscient_a without_o passion_n or_o shadow_n of_o change_n this_o be_v not_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o
