when_o it_o be_v so_o agreeable_a to_o human_a kind_n and_o how_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o law_n come_v to_o be_v cloud_v and_o even_o at_o this_o time_n when_o we_o be_v recover_v at_o least_o if_o

his_o person_n ought_v to_o be_v point_v at_o and_o name_v in_o justice_n to_o the_o innocent_a lest_o a_o person_n innocent_a shall_v be_v suspect_v or_o conclude_v to_o be_v the_o man_n who_o

no_o harm_n and_o the_o last_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v inflict_v on_o they_o but_o if_o they_o have_v act_v contrary_a to_o both_o i_o think_v they_o ought_v to_o be_v discover_v and_o expose_v nay_o i_o think_v a_o lawyer_n be_v not_o safe_a in_o conceal_v they_o if_o it_o be_v so_o fatal_a to_o the_o lord_n russel_n which_o as_o the_o author_n say_v be_v so_o much_o pity_v in_o his_o fall_n to_o
