suffer_v under_o they_o be_v no_o strange_a thing_n and_o therefore_o not_o so_o observable_a when_o we_o consider_v how_o frequent_a apostate_n and_o false_a worshipper_n be_v in_o this_o world_n and_o for_o a_o church_n to_o change_v its_o government_n into_o state_n policy_n be_v no_o great_a thing_n to_o be_v note_v in_o scripture_n but_o the_o alteration_n of_o monarchical_a government_n
