upon_o these_o two_o commandment_n hang_v all_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n when_o i_o read_v that_o the_o king_n may_v pardon_v murder_n special_o if_o the_o word_n murder_n be_v not_o in_o the_o pardon_n i_o find_v it_o contrary_n to_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o take_v it_o to_o be_v no_o law_n and_o when_o i_o read_v that_o the_o king_n by_o his_o prerogative_n may_v make_v a_o
