this_o be_v for_o any_o man_n or_o man_n first_o to_o take_v the_o earth_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o murder_a sword_n from_o other_o and_o then_o by_o the_o law_n of_o their_o own_o make_n do_v hang_v or_o put_v to_o death_n any_o who_o take_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o supply_v his_o necessary_n from_o place_n or_o person_n where_o there_o be_v more_o than_o can_v be_v make_v
