we_o be_v loose_a and_o lawless_a in_o our_o life_n the_o advantage_n of_o our_o constitution_n will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o avail_v we_o that_o contrariwise_o it_o will_v make_v a_o considerable_a

and_o do_v sometime_o for_o weighty_a reason_n act_n either_o immediate_o at_o least_o without_o the_o ministry_n of_o they_o for_o who_o sake_n he_o act_v and_o after_o a_o very_a extraordinary_a
