every_o thing_n else_o which_o he_o lawful_o possess_v that_o they_o nor_o any_o of_o they_o can_v be_v take_v from_o he_o nor_o ought_v he_o to_o be_v disturb_v in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o they_o without_o his_o voluntary_a consent_n or_o for_o some_o offence_n against_o the_o law_n 2._o and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o failure_n of_o justice_n that_o be_v that_o

in_o place_v it_o above_o the_o law_n but_o nothing_o save_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o time_n and_o the_o depravity_n of_o such_o man_n manner_n can_v support_v or_o give_v countenance_n to_o so_o
