seem_v to_o lie_v level_n with_o nature_n then_o sure_o king_n must_v be_v teach_v of_o god_n that_o transcendent_a mystery_n to_o govern_v man_n to_o manure_v nation_n they_o who_o be_v bear_v of_o

indeed_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v cast_v in_o the_o same_o mould_n they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o make_v as_o face_n answer_v face_n in_o the_o water_n so_o do_v the_o heart_n

to_o fashion_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o king_n thus_o he_o fashion_v their_o heart_n alike_o when_o we_o put_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o king_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n to_o fashion_n we_o put_v a_o
