the_o high_a judge_n of_o their_o kingdom_n they_o have_v judge_n under_o they_o by_o deputation_n to_o who_o they_o commit_v their_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o allot_v their_o several_a circuit_n

the_o sentence_n of_o a_o rebel_n who_o have_v set_v himself_o in_o god_n throne_n to_o judge_v without_o god_n second_o such_o be_v the_o majesty_n and_o authority_n of_o conscience_n that_o it_o
