own_o persuasion_n concern_v your_o proceed_n you_o will_v seem_o clear_v yourselves_o from_o persecution_n but_o this_o cover_v will_v not_o hide_v you_o though_o it_o be_v the_o large_a that_o can_v

you_o can_v neither_o compel_v nor_o restrain_v they_o by_o your_o law_n for_o they_o can_v be_v compel_v to_o observe_v that_o which_o they_o know_v be_v not_o true_a nor_o restrain_v from_o that_o
