you_o have_v fair_o yield_v and_o therein_o give_v up_o your_o cause_n to_o the_o four_o you_o take_v exception_n that_o i_o shall_v say_v the_o king_n be_v king_n by_o law_n and_o yet_o you_o own_o

though_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v compute_v amiss_o yet_o i_o rather_o incline_v to_o think_v they_o do_v not_o for_o either_o they_o must_v speak_v in_o general_a term_n or_o else_o they_o
