to_o acknowledge_v any_o power_n over_o they_o but_o that_o of_o god_n as_o only_a king_n and_o ruler_n of_o his_o people_n so_o these_o filthy_a heretic_n pretend_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o

that_o teach_v it_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o caution_n they_o have_v give_v we_o in_o their_o epistle_n and_o the_o many_o hard_a thing_n they_o have_v write_v of_o they_o we_o know_v
