and_o therefore_o when_o our_o law_n say_v the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o as_o i_o conceive_v mean_v that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v that_o or_o command_v that_o to_o

70._o thousand_o of_o they_o be_v sweep_v away_o by_o the_o plague_n in_o three_o day_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o maxim_n in_o our_o law_n i_o say_v as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v that_o

god_n bear_v witness_v also_o for_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o king_n david_n confess_v those_o two_o great_a sin_n of_o adultery_n alone_o and_o murder_n unto_o god_n say_v against_o thou_o only_o have_v i_o sin_v not_o as_o if_o he_o think_v he_o have_v not_o sin_v very_o high_o and_o heinous_o too_o against_o bathsheba_n and_o vriah_n by_o defile_v the_o one_o and_o murder_v the_o

both_o those_o capital_a crime_n be_v never_o call_v to_o account_v for_o either_o or_o both_o of_o they_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a because_o there_o be_v none_o that_o have_v authority_n to_o

that_o mr._n baxter_n mean_v for_o one_o and_o as_o i_o very_o believe_v the_o only_a one_o though_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n that_o be_v drive_v away_o from_o a_o person_n of_o

that_o for_o which_o i_o speak_v of_o it_o now_o be_v only_o to_o prove_v that_o as_o mr._n baxter_n mean_v mr._n jones_n by_o he_o that_o be_v drive_v away_o from_o the_o duke_n and_o duchess_n so_o
