give_v he_o by_o god_n over_o they_o but_o presume_v that_o thereafter_o he_o break_v his_o promise_n unto_o they_o never_o so_o inexcusable_a the_o question_n be_v who_o shall_v be_v judge_n of_o the_o break_n give_v unto_o they_o this_o contract_n be_v make_v unto_o they_o never_o so_o sick_a according_a to_o their_o allegiance_n i_o think_v no_o man_n that_o have_v but_o the_o small_a

shall_v it_o lie_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o headless_a multitude_n when_o they_o please_v to_o weary_v off_o subjection_n to_o cast_v off_o the_o yoke_n of_o government_n that_o god_n have_v say_v upon_o they_o to_o judge_v and_o punish_v he_o by_o who_o they_o shall_v be_v judge_v and_o punish_v and_o in_o that_o case_n wherein_o by_o their_o violence_n they_o kithe_v themselves_o to_o be_v
