design_v kill_v by_o private_a person_n to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o murder_n unless_o what_o a_o man_n be_v put_v upon_o in_o his_o own_o necessary_a defence_n a_o brief_a censure_n of_o duel_n

but_o it_o be_v the_o kill_n of_o our_o neighbour_n because_o however_o the_o commandment_n express_v no_o more_o than_o thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v yet_o this_o and_o those_o that_o follow_v be_v

those_o we_o have_v before_o lay_v down_o for_o beside_o that_o the_o kill_n of_o the_o murderer_n be_v not_o only_o not_o injurious_a to_o humane_a society_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o great_a safeguard_v to_o it_o as_o by_o mean_n of_o which_o other_o man_n may_v be_v deter_v from_o offer_v the_o like_a injury_n to_o it_o beside_o that_o the_o slay_v of_o the_o murderer_n though_o it_o
