which_o obey_v the_o power_n as_o it_o be_v meet_v obey_v god_n this_o argument_n take_v of_o contraries_n be_v very_o manifest_a and_o true_a and_o this_o sentence_n not_o a_o little_a comfort_v

their_o function_n be_v some_o way_n necessary_a for_o oftentimes_o we_o see_v that_o good_a and_o innocent_a man_n although_o their_o mind_n and_o will_v be_v good_a and_o albeit_o they_o desire_v
