xxxiiii_o xxxv_o xxxvi_o xxxvii_o xxxviii_o thirty-nine_o xl._n i_o agree_v to_o the_o 34_o that_o every_o man_n have_v some_o sense_n of_o religion_n in_o he_o if_o you_o mean_v by_o it_o a_o

that_o but_o the_o national_a magistracy_n if_o he_o see_v just_a cause_n because_o they_o be_v the_o magistrate_n particular_a endow_v ministry_n the_o magistrate_n have_v the_o liberty_n of_o his_o
