on_o what_o weighty_a reason_n the_o doctor_n build_v this_o fatal_a resolution_n this_o be_v a_o contestation_n of_o power_n with_o he_o who_o minister_n they_o be_v a_o levy_n of_o war_n a_o

will_v whereas_o we_o have_v prove_v that_o in_o limit_a government_n it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o to_o the_o prince_n will_v measure_v and_o regulate_v by_o a_o law_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v

where_o he_o propose_v the_o question_n in_o his_o own_o term_n whither_o if_o a_o king_n be_v bend_v or_o seduce_v to_o subvert_v religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n subject_n may_v take_v up_o arm_n

let_v they_o run_v on_o rather_o till_o they_o see_v their_o own_o vanity_n and_o folly_n but_o suppose_v they_o shall_v bring_v it_o to_o pass_v than_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_o to_o come_v to_o
