and_o this_o i_o do_v insist_v upon_o and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o strife_n about_o word_n and_o let_v the_o dr._n prove_v if_o he_o can_v that_o a_o usurper_n be_v a_o king_n either_o in_o the_o sense_n

for_o a_o usurper_n be_v no_o more_o a_o king_n than_o a_o ravisher_n be_v a_o husband_n and_o here_o be_v the_o plain_a state_n of_o the_o case_n the_o scripture_n assert_n and_o if_o the_o
