the_o ruler_n be_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o neither_o the_o great_a nor_o the_o least_o be_v to_o be_v spare_v when_o criminal_n thou_o shall_v not_o as_o levit._n 19.15_o respect_v the_o person_n

to_o evil-doer_n it_o be_v so_o to_o strike_v awe_n into_o they_o that_o they_o may_v not_o dare_v to_o transgress_v by_o threaten_n pecuniary-mulct_n fine_n imprisonment_n and_o other_o way_n and_o
