and_o to_o their_o like_n they_o afford_v he_o the_o appellation_n of_o a_o king_n if_o not_o they_o count_v he_o a_o tyrant_n wherefore_o we_o see_v a_o kingdom_n and_o tyranny_n be_v not_o diverse_a

in_o way_n of_o contumely_n and_o reproach_n but_o what_o we_o frequent_o find_v in_o book_n say_v against_o tyrant_n take_v its_o original_n from_o greek_a and_o roman_a writer_n who_o government_n be_v partly_o democraticall_a and_o partly_o aristocratical_a and_o therefore_o not_o tyrant_n only_o but_o even_o king_n be_v odious_a to_o they_o iv._o there_o be_v who_o indeed_o do_v think_v it_o
