of_o wife_n the_o end_n of_o that_o be_v to_o prevent_v seducement_n and_o other_o mischief_n that_o polygamy_n have_v often_o produce_v 3._o to_o make_v no_o extraordinary_a hoard_v up_o of_o gold_n

the_o injustice_n of_o that_o rash_a sentence_n his_o own_o credulity_n have_v draw_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n yet_o he_o revoke_v it_o but_o in_o part_n 5._o and_o last_o without_o any_o other_o motive_n save_o those_o of_o his_o own_o pride_n he_o cause_v the_o people_n to_o be_v number_v and_o draw_v upon_o his_o kingdom_n a_o plague_n that_o in_o three_o day_n sweep_v away_o threescore_o
