one_o will_v think_v may_v assuage_v much_o this_o popular_a disease_n of_o rail_v upon_o dignity_n the_o liberty_n whereof_o have_v once_o already_o and_o may_v who_o know_v how_o soon_o again_o if_o god_n in_o mercy_n prevent_v it_o not_o overturn_v this_o kingdom_n we_o proceed_v to_o a_o division_n of_o the_o word_n which_o appear_v to_o branch_n themselves_o into_o three_o main_a part_n 1._o

thou_o shall_v not_o speak_v evil_a and_o if_o s._n paul_n may_v not_o than_o not_o any_o man_n to_o handle_v these_o in_o the_o plain_a order_n will_v be_v as_o the_o word_n stand_v in_o the_o

that_o may_v not_o speak_v evil_a neither_o saint_n paul_n nor_o any_o man_n 3._o the_o abuse_n itself_o by_o show_v what_o this_o evil_a speak_v here_o be_v and_o why_o forbid_v and_o of_o these_o by_o god_n help_n in_o their_o order_n beginning_n first_o with_o the_o party_n against_o who_o evil_a may_v not_o be_v speak_v viz._n the_o ruler_n of_o the_o people_n no_o such_o difficult_a
