against_o their_o sovereign_n yet_o neither_o be_v he_o hereby_o divert_v of_o her_o just_a right_n nor_o they_o invert_v therewith_o because_o the_o war_n be_v whole_o unjust_a on_o their_o part_n for_o want_v of_o authority_n 2._o therefore_o if_o that_o party_n who_o cause_n be_v unjust_a shall_v yet_o prevail_v and_o prove_v successful_a then_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o branch_n i_o say_v
