i_o must_v by_o your_o leave_n stop_v a_o little_a upon_o it_o when_o we_o will_v present_v to_o you_o that_o monster_n slander_n and_o calumny_n though_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o bring_v it_o within_o

to_o take_v the_o largeness_n of_o the_o school_n and_o say_v that_o every_o calumny_n be_v either_o direct_a or_o indirect_a that_o will_v comprehend_v all_o and_o then_o a_o direct_a calumny_n will_v have_v three_o branch_n either_o to_o lay_v a_o false_a and_o unjust_a imputation_n or_o else_o to_o aggravate_v a_o just_a imputation_n with_o unnecessary_a but_o heavy_a circumstance_n or_o three_o to_o reveal_v a_o fault_n which_o in_o itself_o be_v secret_a and_o i_o by_o no_o duty_n bind_v to_o discover_v it_o and_o then_o the_o indirect_a calumny_n will_v have_v three_o branch_n too_o either_o to_o deny_v express_o some_o good_a that_o be_v in_o another_o or_o to_o smother_v it_o in_o silence_n when_o my_o testimony_n be_v due_a to_o he_o and_o may_v advantage_v he_o or_o
