but_o that_o they_o approve_v of_o his_o affection_n to_o trial_n per_fw-la jury_n but_o it_o may_v be_v he_o lay_v the_o most_o weight_n of_o his_o first_o objection_n upon_o the_o word_n understanding_n that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o competent_a number_n of_o understanding_n and_o fit_a man_n understanding_n indeed_o be_v very_o good_a but_o as_o i_o take_v it_o there_o be_v not_o so_o

as_o for_o understand_v sufficient_a to_o judge_v between_o right_n &_o wrong_n in_o any_o case_n where_o proof_n be_v to_o be_v make_v by_o witness_n open_o and_o free_o to_o be_v examine_v and_o
