praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o and_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o 13_o to_o the_o roman_n be_v most_o full_a to_o this_o purpose_n 2._o verse_n 1._o verse_n 2._o let_v every_o soul_n be_v

that_o the_o soldier_n which_o come_v to_o seize_v he_o have_v no_o warrant_n but_o be_v rather_o a_o rabble_n that_o break_v out_o with_o sword_n and_o staff_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n and_o
