the_o prince_n they_o understand_v that_o kind_n of_o government_n only_o which_o be_v exercise_v with_o the_o civil_a sword_n i_o conclude_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o this_o that_o without_o all_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n the_o king_n majesty_n may_v be_v acknowledge_v in_o this_o sense_n to_o be_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n of_o all_o his_o highness_n
