ruler_n seem_v to_o have_v justice_n so_o deep_o root_v in_o their_o nature_n that_o every_o act_n of_o injustice_n be_v as_o a_o violence_n do_v they_o yet_o unless_o thsre_o be_v a_o more_o last_a

they_o have_v not_o a_o principle_n within_o they_o of_o such_o force_n that_o it_o bear_v all_o thing_n down_o before_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n this_o will_v possess_v their_o

that_o how_o much_o soever_o they_o may_v be_v raise_v above_o their_o subject_n yet_o they_o be_v as_o nothing_o before_o that_o god_n who_o as_o he_o set_v they_o up_o by_o his_o providence_n so_o

the_o great_a and_o lofty_a monarch_n how_o eastly_a do_v crown_n fall_v and_o throne_n shake_v this_o fear_n of_o god_n will_v make_v prince_n often_o remember_v even_o in_o the_o pride_n of_o all_o

add_v to_o their_o account_n to_o increase_v their_o gild_n and_o to_o heighten_v their_o condemnation_n then_o they_o must_v appear_v at_o a_o tribunal_n where_o there_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o
