the_o thing_n which_o be_v god_n command_v we_o also_o to_o render_v to_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n so_o that_o i_o believe_v that_o he_o who_o will_v content_v himself_o with_o

among_o christian_n then_o a_o lame_a offering_n be_v among_o the_o jew_n these_o consideration_n make_v i_o wish_v with_o great_a passion_n that_o god_n will_v inspire_v those_o nation_n to_o do_v
