majesty_n than_o to_o any_o of_o we_o by_o how_o much_o the_o law_n have_v invest_v his_o royal_a state_n with_o a_o great_a power_n and_o ample_a fortune_n for_o so_o undoubted_a a_o truth_n it_o

of_o this_o judgement_n you_o may_v please_v to_o remember_v that_o in_o the_o old_a law_n they_o be_v forbid_v to_o seethe_v a_o kid_n in_o his_o mother_n milk_n of_o which_o the_o receive_a
