though_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o in_o duty_n and_o conscience_n he_o ought_v to_o quit_v it_o yet_o because_o those_o beast_n of_o prey_n be_v rare_o induce_v to_o part_v with_o their_o

to_o be_v a_o lawful_a sovereign_n for_o if_o he_o have_v do_v evil_a himself_o must_v all_o be_v make_v away_o with_o who_o will_v not_o join_v with_o he_o in_o it_o and_o approve_v of_o it_o must_v they_o be_v all_o serve_v as_o the_o highland_n clan_n and_o have_v their_o throat_n cut_v in_o their_o bed_n who_o contrary_a to_o their_o knowledge_n and_o conscience_n will_v not_o own_v he_o to_o be_v the_o true_a owner_n of_o his_o unjust_a get_a good_n your_o reason_v indeed_o show_v the_o wretched_a necessity_n of_o sin_v which_o man_n be_v put_v upon_o who_o resolve_v by_o any_o mean_n to_o maintain_v injustice_n but_o do_v not_o at_o all_o teach_v they_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o it_o have_v more_o become_v you_o to_o have_v teach_v they_o some_o good_a than_o to_o
