must_v needs_o give_v place_n to_o the_o other_o which_o be_v of_o great_a obligation_n you_o common_o say_v that_o the_o precept_n of_o obedience_n to_o humane_a authority_n must_v give_v place_n to_o the_o precept_n of_o eschew_v scandal_n although_o it_o be_v causeless_o take_v and_o to_o confirm_v your_o assertion_n you_o say_v that_o the_o ordinance_n of_o a_o superior_a can_v not_o make_v
