to_o those_o who_o consider_v only_o one_o side_n of_o the_o case_n yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o apparent_a than_o that_o the_o liberty_n of_o resist_a prince_n will_v prove_v a_o far_o great_a

that_o perhaps_o there_o never_o be_v any_o lawful_a prince_n so_o bad_a the_o benefit_n of_o who_o government_n do_v not_o far_o outweigh_v the_o mischief_n of_o his_o tyranny_n and_o therefore_o
