which_o otherwise_o be_v very_o ready_a to_o execute_v that_o same_o severe_a and_o hard_a decree_n he_o that_o kill_v shall_v die_v the_o death_n in_o law_n no_o more_o than_o in_o other_o form_n of_o speech_n man_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o regard_v the_o word_n thereof_o as_o the_o meaning_n and_o end_n of_o the_o same_o because_o many_o time_n the_o word_n may_v be_v much_o more_o hard_a
