old_a testament_n the_o prince_n be_v otherwise_o than_o in_o the_o foresay_a respect_n inferior_a to_o the_o priest_n and_o people_n it_o remain_v say_v he_o that_o we_o prove_v the_o king_n of_o

on_o the_o more_o worthy_a beast_n as_o thus_o he_o that_o offer_v the_o more_o worthy_a beast_n be_v the_o more_o worthy_a in_o authority_n but_o the_o high_a priest_n and_o the_o people_n offer_v a_o more_o worth_a beast_n than_o do_v the_o prince_n ergo_fw-la the_o high_a priest_n and_o the_o people_n be_v more_o worthy_a in_o authority_n than_o the_o prince_n the_o mayor_n he_o take_v for_o
