even_o so_o this_o kingdom_n the_o external_n government_n be_v as_o good_a as_o ever_o it_o be_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a as_o learned_a judge_n as_o ever_o it_o have_v and_o i_o hope_v as_o honest_a

as_o great_a plenty_n as_o ever_o so_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o every_o man_n may_v sit_v in_o safety_n under_o his_o own_o vine_n and_o figtree_n yet_o i_o be_o ashamed_a and_o it_o
