by_o reason_n of_o the_o antipathy_n between_o the_o sign_n rule_v england_n and_o that_o under_o which_o scotland_n be_v the_o english_a out_o of_o this_o consideration_n together_o with_o some_o

there_o be_v between_o fire_n and_o water_n so_o be_v it_o as_o much_o impossible_a to_o unite_v they_o and_o make_v they_o of_o one_o inclination_n and_o mind_n as_o to_o make_v the_o water_n and_o

will_v have_v it_o to_o depend_v on_o their_o own_o inclination_n any_o people_n will_v constitute_v law_n contrary_a to_o their_o own_o nature_n for_o we_o have_v law_n here_o against_o adultery_n
