they_o do_v govern_v otherwise_o than_o by_o god_n or_o their_o own_o law_n they_o ought_v to_o govern_v he_o will_v make_v his_o reader_n to_o believe_v that_o i_o justify_v tyranny_n itself_o and_o

itself_o nay_o even_o the_o great_a radical_a law_n of_o nature_n so_o far_o as_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o murder_n of_o man_n soul_n if_o they_o do_v not_o preach_v though_o they_o be_v forbid_v
