to_o the_o scaffold_n admire_v himself_o and_o talk_v of_o his_o power_n and_o glory_n will_v we_o not_o conclude_v he_o distract_v and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o true_a state_n of_o a_o vain_a and_o glorious_a monarch_n who_o have_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o have_v receive_v from_o a_o infinite_a god_n who_o can_v recall_v it_o when_o he_o please_v and_o who_o while_o he_o talk_v of_o his_o

and_o persuade_v they_o of_o his_o independence_n be_v seize_v by_o a_o irresistible_a horror_n which_o shake_v he_o all_o to_o piece_n i_o doubt_v not_o for_o all_o this_o but_o learned_a man_n

because_o he_o can_v repeat_v excellent_a line_n make_v by_o another_o or_o a_o man_n because_o the_o borrow_a furniture_n that_o he_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v to_o be_v his_o own_o be_v within_o
