i_o shall_v make_v some_o practical_a inference_n from_o this_o loyal_a doctrine_n proper_a to_o this_o audience_n and_o the_o exgence_n of_o the_o time_n in_o which_o we_o live_v i._n first_o then_o that_o sovereign_a prince_n be_v god_n minister_n and_o vicegerent_n and_o reign_v by_o his_o special_a ordinance_n be_v plain_a from_o many_o express_a text_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n

when_o daniel_n speak_v unto_o he_o he_o say_v thou_o o_o king_n be_v a_o king_n of_o king_n for_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n have_v give_v thou_o a_o kingdom_n power_n and_o strength_n and_o glory_n
