yet_o it_o be_v only_o our_o sin_n that_o make_v death_n to_o be_v evil_a and_o i_o desire_v this_o to_o be_v observe_v because_o it_o be_v of_o great_a use_n in_o vindicate_v the_o divine_a justice_n

and_o a_o acceptable_a recompense_n for_o it_o if_o the_o case_n be_v visible_a evident_a and_o notorious_a and_o the_o oppress_a party_n demand_v it_o because_o in_o this_o case_n the_o law_n have_v
