to_o give_v a_o certain_a judgement_n for_o william_n pen_n say_v that_o to_o which_o a_o appeal_n be_v make_v must_v be_v capable_a of_o give_v a_o infallible_a judgement_n and_o so_o a_o true_a

if_o we_o have_v find_v he_o have_v not_o wrong_v they_o will_v also_o have_v justify_v we_o in_o the_o clear_n of_o tho._n hicks_n nevertheless_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o be_v single_a judge_n in_o this_o matter_n therefore_o think_v it_o convenient_a to_o make_v it_o so_o public_a as_o we_o do_v to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o themselves_o and_o all_o other_o that_o please_v may_v hear_v and_o
