then_o govern_v by_o the_o same_o arbitrary_a maxim_n and_o popish_a minister_n in_o england_n the_o late_a king_n assume_v a_o dispense_v power_n usurp_v the_o whole_a legislative_a authority_n into_o his_o own_o hand_n for_o to_o dispense_v with_o law_n be_v as_o great_a a_o power_n as_o to_o make_v they_o and_o by_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o invest_v himself_o with_o a_o power_n as_o
