than_o the_o disease_n this_o be_v very_o plain_a by_o the_o drift_n of_o the_o apostle_n reason_n which_o he_o give_v against_o resistance_n in_o the_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o v._n of_o the_o 13._o to_o

for_o which_o god_n have_v set_v up_o the_o high_a power_n to_o insinuate_v that_o the_o resist_n of_o the_o high_a power_n even_o when_o they_o be_v so_o do_v tend_v to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o that_o order_n which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o this_o not_o only_o because_o there_o be_v still_o order_n under_o tyranny_n but_o chief_o because_o if_o it_o be_v good_a and_o
