far_o as_o the_o cleave_v of_o he_o asunder_o by_o a_o state_n distinction_n which_o separate_v the_o power_n of_o the_o king_n from_o his_o person_n so_o we_o as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o

i_o will_v with_o the_o like_a brevity_n proceed_v as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v to_o give_v you_o satisfaction_n in_o the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o dispute_n also_o which_o be_v whether_o religion_n
