which_o have_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o public_a debate_n touch_v this_o matter_n albeit_o the_o say_a declaration_n do_v express_o affirm_v the_o say_a suspension_n to_o be_v for_o publick-good_a answ_n the_o proceed_n of_o our_o reverend_a judge_n be_v always_o regulate_v by_o prudent_a but_o strict_a rule_n and_o those_o rule_n relate_v as_o well_o to_o matter_n of_o form_n as_o to_o matter_n of_o substance_n this_o our_o law_n require_v and_o by_o their_o oath_n they_o be_v bind_v up_o to_o proceed_v according_a to_o law_n which_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o many_o

in_o all_o case_n come_v before_o they_o it_o seem_v very_o harsh_a to_o such_o as_o do_v not_o thorough_o grasp_v the_o reason_n of_o thing_n to_o hear_v it_o say_v that_o a_o honest_a just_a cause_n be_v lose_v for_o matter_n of_o form_n or_o because_o of_o the_o error_n or_o ignorance_n of_o a_o clerk_n and_o that_o law_n in_o such_o a_o case_n be_v one_o way_n and_o conscience_n and_o equity_n another_o way_n and_o these_o thing_n seem_v often_o time_n in_o particular_a case_n to_o be_v very_o mischievous_a but_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v consider_v that_o this_o way_n of_o be_v tie_v

of_o equity_n no_o one_o can_v reasonable_o complain_v that_o they_o be_v hurt_v or_o injure_v now_o it_o be_v conceive_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o way_n of_o proceed_v in_o our_o judge_n in_o

of_o state_n require_v but_o they_o be_v tie_v up_o by_o their_o oath_n as_o be_v beforementioned_a and_o consequent_o be_v bind_v not_o only_o to_o consider_v the_o substantial_a part_n whether_o
