query_n what_o reason_n there_o be_v to_o believe_v such_o a_o thing_n will_v be_v effect_v unless_o they_o will_v reseed_n from_o their_o own_o vote_n or_o the_o army_n subject_n unto_o they_o which_o how_o they_o can_v do_v with_o safety_n to_o themselves_o or_o the_o good_a people_n of_o this_o land_n i_o leave_v other_o to_o judge_n quest_n xvi_o 16._o if_o it_o shall_v be_v effect_v
