reason_n and_o conscience_n to_o pay_v his_o debt_n as_o a_o man_n of_o full_a age_n why_o then_o the_o law_n shall_v not_o tie_v he_o to_o it_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n i_o mean_v for_o debt_n contract_v after_o the_o age_n of_o discretion_n and_o if_o the_o law_n then_o judge_v he_o to_o be_v discreet_a why_o shall_v it_o not_o make_v he_o just_a and_o honest_a man_n of_o themselves_o natural_o be_v too_o prone_a to_o injustice_n and_o unrighteous_a deal_n one_o with_o another_o therefore_o very_o unfit_a that_o they_o shall_v receive_v the_o least_o encouragement_n to_o it_o how_o

and_o how_o a_o man_n shall_v know_v such_o a_o one_o to_o be_v a_o infant_n since_o many_o nay_o most_o man_n may_v and_o do_v deceive_v their_o judge_n by_o their_o look_n i_o can_v think_v or_o

to_o reason_n and_o justice_n or_o no_o clergy_n be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v convict_v of_o manslaughter_n or_o any_o other_o crime_n or_o offence_n for_o which_o he_o may_v have_v his_o book_n and_o

that_o he_o do_v he_o save_v his_o life_n by_o it_o and_o be_v only_o burn_v in_o the_o hand_n we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o original_a of_o this_o use_n of_o clergy_n be_v at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o world_n be_v in_o its_o minority_n i_o mean_v this_o little_a world_n and_o there_o be_v but_o few_o clerk_n or_o learned_a man_n and_o then_o in_o favour_n and_o for_o encouragement_n of_o

of_o such_o man_n life_n in_o some_o case_n for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o woman_n can_v not_o have_v their_o book_n because_o they_o can_v not_o be_v clerk_n now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o any_o one_o whether_o the_o cause_n or_o reason_n of_o the_o make_n of_o this_o law_n hold_v to_o this_o day_n or_o not_o if_o it_o do_v not_o what_o reason_n can_v

such_o clerk_n as_o they_o be_v that_o this_o law_n stand_v not_o with_o reason_n i_o shall_v offer_v these_o thing_n to_o consideration_n first_o the_o slightness_n and_o inconsiderableness_n especial_o as_o the_o case_n stand_v now_o of_o the_o thing_n itself_o that_o read_v of_o a_o line_n or_o two_o shall_v save_v a_o man_n life_n by_o which_o the_o crime_n be_v no_o way_n answer_v or_o

but_o for_o one_o to_o have_v power_n to_o save_v himself_o and_o not_o the_o other_o that_o i_o judge_v very_o hard_a and_o unreasonable_a last_o if_o there_o be_v reason_n in_o the_o thing_n itself_o the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o tongue_n and_o in_o many_o place_n the_o character_n be_v a_o old_a letter_n too_o and_o so_o hard_a to_o be_v read_v make_v it_o very_o unreasonable_a so_o that_o i_o may_v safe_o say_v be_v it_o not_o through_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o court_n not_o one_o of_o twenty_o can_v save_v their_o life_n by_o read_v since_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o this_o law_n as_o there_o be_v not_o for_o any_o that_o want_v reason_n for_o the_o support_n of_o it_o i_o think_v it_o be_v better_o in_o such_o case_n where_o clergy_n be_v allowable_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v only_o burn_v in_o the_o hand_n as_o woman_n be_v and_o so_o set_v at_o liberty_n which_o nevertheless_o i_o submit_v to_o grave_a judgement_n the_o next_o i_o shall_v write_v of_o be_v the_o distinction_n in_o law_n betwixt_o murder_n and_o manslaughter_n and_o therein_o put_v this_o short_a question_n whether_o the_o law_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o suffer_v death_n for_o manslaughter_n be_v not_o against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o distinction_n in_o law_n betwixt_o murder_n and_o manslaughter_n be_v thus_o murder_n be_v when_o one_o be_v slay_v with_o a_o man_n will_n and_o with_o malice_n prepense_a or_o forethought_a as_o where_o two_o fall_v out_o one_o day_n appoint_v the_o field_n the_o next_o

shall_v not_o have_v his_o clergy_n but_o shall_v suffer_v death_n homicide_n or_o manslaughter_n as_o it_o be_v legal_o take_v be_v when_o one_o be_v slay_v with_o a_o man_n will_n but_o not_o with_o malice_n prepense_a as_o where_o two_o be_v together_o fall_v out_o and_o both_o draw_v upon_o each_o other_o and_o one_o kill_v the_o other_o this_o be_v do_v upon_o hot_a blood_n be_v but_o manslaughter_n for_o which_o he_o shall_v have_v his_o clergy_n and_o save_v his_o life_n now_o how_o this_o distinction_n stand_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v by_o the_o judicial_a law_n exod._n 21._o 12._o he_o that_o smite_v a_o man_n and_o he_o die_v shall_v die_v the_o death_n and_o numb._n 35._o vers._n 16._o and_o if_o one_o smite_v another_o with_o a_o
