that_o such_o a_o government_n will_v best_o suit_v with_o monarchy_n be_v to_o veil_v the_o lustre_n and_o majesty_n of_o monarchy_n which_o like_o a_o healthful_a stomach_n can_v easy_o assimilate_v

in_o scripture_n must_v lean_v upon_o humane_a right_n and_o thus_o it_o discover_v its_o own_o weakness_n divine_a institution_n be_v able_a to_o bottom_n itself_o upon_o itself_o but_o humane_a be_v
