prince_n of_o the_o earth_n this_o be_v no_o marvel_n then_o see_v the_o pope_n challenge_v power_n also_o over_o the_o angel_n let_v we_o continue_v the_o examination_n of_o this_o article_n the_o

the_o question_n be_v consider_v that_o they_o do_v obey_v the_o creator_n which_o do_v obey_v his_o commandment_n as_o concern_v their_o duty_n which_o they_o owe_v unto_o their_o sovereign_a
