be_v expedient_a oâ_n not_o expedient_a for_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o come_v to_o consider_v and_o speak_v of_o conscience_n which_o be_v a_o word_n compound_v of_o

that_o place_n of_o scripture_n with_o other_o in_o which_o a_o oath_n be_v allow_v to_o be_v lawful_a and_o the_o reason_n why_o conscience_n may_v err_v in_o the_o aforesaid_a assumption_n and_o the_o like_a be_v because_o conscience_n be_v form_v from_o the_o assumption_n of_o some_o particular_a proposition_n or_o question_n under_o universal_a rule_n of_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v and_o as_o

of_o law_n which_o will_v in_o no_o case_n be_v defective_a therefore_o legislator_n attend_v to_o that_o which_o happen_v in_o many_o thing_n and_o not_o to_o particular_a case_n nor_o indeed_o can_v they_o since_o to_o observe_v the_o sentence_n of_o law_n in_o some_o case_n be_v both_o against_o the_o equality_n of_o justice_n and_o common_a good_a so_o that_o in_o some_o case_n it_o be_v good_a yea_o absolute_o necessary_a praetermit_v the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n to_o follow_v that_o which_o reason_n of_o justice_n require_v and_o to_o this_o end_n equity_n be_v ordain_v which_o be_v

to_o fetch_v they_o out_o and_o many_o other_o such_o like_a and_o thus_o it_o appear_v that_o equity_n rather_o attend_v the_o intention_n than_o the_o word_n of_o law_n and_o thus_o have_v brief_o
