away_o the_o fierceness_n of_o my_o anger_n but_o i_o have_v give_v they_o only_o to_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v in_o that_o state_n and_o condition_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o certain_a rule_n of_o

that_o we_o be_v absolute_o resolve_v upon_o sovereign_a grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o without_o relief_n from_o thence_o i_o shall_v only_o say_v as_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o proposition_n what_o
