of_o dignity_n under_o king_n david_n and_o other_o prince_n so_o they_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o the_o like_a distinction_n of_o order_n and_o honour_n ought_v to_o be_v continue_v among_o

a_o earthly_a sceptre_n but_o to_o seek_v a_o spiritual_a empire_n in_o the_o which_o notwithstanding_o the_o power_n they_o shall_v receive_v of_o he_o they_o shall_v still_o continue_v and_o

shall_v not_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o magnificent_a than_o the_o estate_n of_o other_o private_a man_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o form_n of_o that_o government_n he_o have_v appoint_v for_o his_o
