he_o be_v say_v be_v subject_n unto_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n to_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a and_o last_o the_o design_n of_o the_o sacred_a writer_n of_o the_o

vsuper_fw-la god_n vicegerent_n and_o his_o ordinance_n though_o he_o do_v justle_v out_o the_o lawful_a successor_n then_o must_v all_o law_n and_o constitution_n to_o preserve_v the_o government_n
