be_v to_o be_v account_v law_n which_o they_o interpret_v to_o be_v so_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v that_o whatsoever_o interpretation_n they_o make_v be_v the_o

i_o hope_v other_o will_v have_v do_v with_o it_o too_o if_o man_n conscience_n be_v satisfy_v in_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o subject_n take_v up_o arm_n against_o the_o will_n
