altogether_o they_o let_v we_o see_v how_o man_n be_v bear_v into_o government_n and_o find_v themselves_o under_o the_o anticipation_n of_o it_o they_o call_v god_n the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o

from_o it_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o more_o excellent_a and_o certain_a way_n to_o credit_v our_o holy_a religion_n and_o to_o take_v off_o all_o objection_n and_o scandal_n against_o it_o than_o
