from_o the_o life_n of_o any_o other_o though_o of_o one_o then_o vest_v with_o the_o sovereignty_n if_o he_o be_v not_o sole_a and_o alone_a sovereign_n but_o to_o advance_v to_o my_o second_o answer_n to_o the_o forementioned_a objection_n i_o do_v say_v that_o at_o some_o time_n and_o upon_o some_o occasion_n the_o executive_a power_n of_o the_o government_n have_v be_v by_o act_n of_o

do_v either_o wise_o or_o legal_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o my_o purpose_n that_o it_o have_v be_v do_v and_o that_o often_o than_o once_o of_o which_o the_o first_o instance_n and_o example_n i_o
