this_o kingdom_n be_v free_a not_o in_o bondage_n but_o at_o liberty_n wheresoever_o she_o live_v in_o any_o kingdom_n or_o commonwealth_n and_o if_o the_o magistracy_n thereof_o say_v eat_v they_o

not_o for_o god_n require_v neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o wherefore_o if_o we_o give_v these_o thing_n to_o caesar_n we_o do_v wrong_v neither_o to_o god_n nor_o yet_o to_o our_o
