such_o as_o be_v immediate_o command_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o be_v evidence_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o here_o though_o it_o be_v serious_o dispute_v among_o divine_n whether_o

but_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n there_o be_v punishment_n that_o be_v by_o a_o mere_a positive_a law_n and_o in_o these_o much_o moderation_n may_v be_v use_v without_o any_o guilt_n upon_o
