under_o will_v sufficient_o justify_v i_o to_o give_v monarchy_n the_o preference_n of_o all_o other_o and_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o for_o three_o thousand_o year_n from_o the_o creation_n we_o read_v of_o no_o other_o sort_n of_o government_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v this_o that_o god_n set_v up_o a_o among_o his_o own_o people_n and_o this_o have_v be_v universal_o receive_v approve_a and_o

it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o for_o a_o nation_n that_o have_v be_v always_o under_o kingly_a government_n and_o for_o age_n together_o have_v thrive_v and_o prosper_v with_o it_o where_o it_o suit_v with_o the_o genius_n of_o the_o people_n as_o well_o as_o with_o their_o law_n and_o constitution_n it_o be_v a_o invaluable_a blessing_n still_o to_o continue_v under_o the_o protection_n and_o
