what_o it_o command_v &_o what_o it_o forbid_v so_o shall_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n more_o clear_o appear_v unto_o we_o certes_o the_o law_n forbid_v partiality_n in_o word_n thou_o shall_v not_o

dissent_v from_o the_o law_n of_o god._n and_o doubtless_o as_o touch_v deed_n unjust_o commit_v there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o judge_v of_o they_o 1.3_o yea_o and_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v
