i_o be_o thorough_o convince_v that_o monarchy_n be_v that_o government_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v and_o set_v his_o stamp_n upon_o and_o all_o other_o government_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o

the_o person_n of_o a_o monarch_n this_o we_o all_o know_v both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n that_o hold_v the_o divinity_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n before_o christ_n be_v

be_v the_o first_o mediator_n into_o who_o hand_n the_o first_o glorious_a gospel_n dispensation_n be_v put_v god_n reveal_v himself_o immediate_o to_o moses_n and_o the_o people_n receive_v god_n mind_n immediate_o from_o their_o monarch_n moses_n the_o first_o revelation_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v give_v to_o adam_n the_o monarch_n of_o the_o world_n the_o second_o
