be_v persecute_v by_o the_o heathen_n they_o be_v defame_v to_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o policy_n of_o commonwealth_n and_o to_o civil_a magistracy_n but_o paul_n acquit_v they_o and_o their_o

themselves_o be_v wicked_a and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v press_v subjection_n upon_o the_o christian_n at_o that_o time_n when_o they_o be_v under_o the_o civil_a power_n of_o heathen_a magistrate_n 1._o paul_n not_o only_o in_o this_o text_n but_o in_o other_o place_n do_v press_v it_o for_o write_v to_o timothy_n he_o say_v i_o exhort_v that_o first_o of_o
