rebellion_n or_o the_o like_a can_v be_v commence_v for_o conscience-sake_n but_o that_o conscience_n indeed_o under_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o divine_a law_n will_v oblige_v man_n to_o fidelity_n

some_o measure_n supply_v that_o want_n and_o yet_o even_o then_o much_o more_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o next_o successor_n whosoever_o think_v himself_o not_o honour_v according_a to_o his_o
