for_o he_o be_v the_o only_a potentate_n king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n he_o alone_o both_o make_v king_n by_o his_o sovereign_a power_n and_o by_o the_o same_o he_o can_v unmake_v they_o

in_o this_o text_n we_o be_v teach_v to_o think_v so_o of_o god_n that_o when_o he_o put_v down_o one_o and_o set_v up_o another_o he_o do_v it_o as_o a_o judge_n even_o i._o judge_n among_o go_n he_o
