of_o the_o supreme_a power_n and_o in_o this_o particular_a i_o conceive_v a_o negative_a argument_n follow_v undeniable_o wherefore_o see_v the_o king_n in_o judah_n there_o the_o supreme_a power_n

heretic_n and_o this_o can_v be_v perform_v by_o any_o subordinate_a power_n in_o the_o state_n but_o only_o by_o the_o supreme_a power_n otherwise_o offender_n if_o press_v by_o any_o inferior_a
