that_o be_v in_o high_a place_n for_o the_o god_n israel_n have_v say_v they_o which_o rule_v over_o man_n must_v be_v just_a rule_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o

will_v you_o have_v honour_n and_o riches_n here_o and_o true_a happiness_n hereafter_o with_o god_n in_o glory_n then_o ask_v it_o of_o the_o lord_n as_o david_n and_o solomon_n do_v meditate_v in_o his_o law_n and_o exercise_v yourselves_o therein_o day_n and_o night_n learn_v out_o of_o that_o what_o be_v justice_n and_o judgement_n and_o equity_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v with_o you_o
