to_o fight_v for_o their_o lawful_a sovereign_n and_o to_o lay_v their_o enemy_n prostrate_v at_o their_o triumphant_a foot_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o rash_a determination_n in_o tertullian_n from_o our_o saviour_n command_n to_o st_n peter_n to_o sheathe_v his_o sword_n to_o infer_v it_o unlawful_a for_o christian_n at_o any_o time_n to_o draw_v they_o and_o it_o be_v high_o culpable_a in_o
