monarchy_n will_v very_o hardly_o be_v persuade_v that_o a_o kingdom_n and_o tyranny_n be_v not_o diverse_a kind_n of_o city_n who_o though_o they_o will_v rather_o have_v the_o city_n subject_n to_o

and_o to_o their_o like_n they_o afford_v he_o the_o appellation_n of_o a_o king_n if_o not_o they_o count_v he_o a_o tyrant_n wherefore_o we_o see_v a_o kingdom_n and_o tyranny_n be_v not_o diverse_a

in_o way_n of_o contumely_n and_o reproach_n but_o what_o we_o frequent_o find_v in_o book_n say_v against_o tyrant_n take_v its_o original_n from_o greek_a and_o roman_a writer_n who_o government_n
