to_o be_v give_v to_o lawful_a power_n pronounce_v god_n wrath_n and_o vengeance_n against_o such_o as_o shall_v resist_v the_o ordonaunce_n of_o god_n so_o do_v he_o assign_v to_o the_o power_n be_v

to_o wit_n that_o because_o they_o be_v god_n minister_n by_o he_o ordain_v for_o the_o profitt_a and_o utility_n of_o other_o most_o diligent_o oght_v they_o to_o intend_v upon_o the_o same_o for_o
