king_n of_o judah_n to_o zachariah_n the_o prophet_n and_o they_o conspire_v against_o he_o and_o stone_v he_o with_o stone_n at_o the_o command_n of_o the_o king_n 2_o chron._n 24._o 21._o and_o

that_o the_o prince_n apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o king_n that_o they_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o put_v the_o prophet_n to_o death_n and_o that_o in_o term_n respectful_a enough_o jer._n 38._o 4._o

to_o the_o king_n if_o the_o whole_a authority_n be_v in_o the_o sanhedrim_n or_o prince_n themselves_o but_o to_o take_v away_o all_o manner_n of_o dispute_n we_o find_v not_o only_a application_n
