of_o the_o first_o of_o these_o which_o be_v as_o true_a now_o as_o it_o be_v then_o unless_o all_o the_o world_n will_v become_v christian_n and_o those_o christian_n likewise_o obey_v the_o gospel_n there_o will_v be_v such_o injustice_n and_o oppression_n violence_n and_o rapine_n as_o will_v make_v war_n necessary_a for_o the_o safety_n and_o preservation_n of_o those_o who_o be_v innocent_a in_o a_o ill-natured_a angry_a and_o covetous_a world_n we_o must_v not_o expect_v that_o all_o man_n will_v be_v our_o friend_n and_o some_o people_n love_v themselves_o so_o much_o that_o they_o
