in_o the_o temple_n be_v ever_o after_o the_o session-house_n of_o the_o senate_n that_o they_o may_v stand_v there_o with_o thou_o if_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o you_o may_v have_v a_o far_a sight_n of_o your_o great_a mistake_n 2_o chron._n 19_o where_o at_o the_o restitution_n of_o this_o government_n in_o some_o part_n by_o jehoshaphat_n the_o jethronian_a council_n be_v set_v up_o city_n by_o

prince_n of_o the_o senate_n which_o god_n appoint_v to_o stand_v with_o he_o you_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o monarch_n or_o stand_v alone_o and_o whereas_o the_o jethronian_a prefecture_n

in_o reason_n will_v remain_v to_o the_o monarchical_a but_o when_o you_o come_v to_o give_v your_o reason_n have_v not_o time_n to_o dispute_v the_o business_n nor_o will_v to_o make_v be_v your_o
