he_o believe_v can_v only_o open_v they_o the_o gate_n of_o paradise_n whilst_o in_o so_o do_v he_o can_v but_o accuse_v himself_o of_o copy_v the_o old_a jewish_a cruelty_n nay_o in_o one_o respect_n

for_o a_o popish_a prince_n pray_v heaven_n shroud_v the_o imperial_a lion_n in_o this_o innocent_a lambskin_n but_o i_o be_o afraid_a we_o shall_v scarce_o be_v so_o happy_a and_o i_o shrewd_o

in_o the_o airy_a castle_n they_o build_v we_o but_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o say_v why_o may_v there_o not_o be_v a_o zealous_a prince_n of_o any_o religion_n who_o still_o out_o of_o the_o mere_a
