that_o he_o be_v a_o profound_o learn_v and_o also_o a_o right_a wise_n man_n but_o yet_o i_o demand_v this_o question_n of_o you_o see_v we_o do_v quiet_o reason_v the_o matter_n with_o gentle_a word_n and_o not_o with_o sturdye_o buffette_n whether_o when_o we_o dispute_v of_o good_a thing_n we_o ought_v rather_o to_o seek_v y_z e_o mind_n and_o opynion_n of_o rude_a and_o ignorant_a tankard_n bearer_n &_o drudge_a labourer_n or_o else_o of_o the_o approve_a learned_a and_o famous_a philosopher_n especial_o since_o there_o be_v no_o sentence_n and_o opinion_n either_o true_a or_o more_o available_a to_o man_n life_n then_o this_o what_o power_n or_o force_n do_v more_o terrefye_v man_n from_o commit_v any_o kind_n of_o sinful_a act_n than_o when_o they_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n in_o offence_n and_o that_o they_o do_v offend_v asmuch_o and_o as_o heynous_o in_o lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o private_a person_n as_o they_o shall_v if_o they_o do_v the_o

common_a servant_n if_o you_o mean_v these_o twoe_o comparison_n bare_o and_o symplye_o not_o add_v the_o cause_n or_o the_o kyllers_n intent_n it_o be_v hard_o to_o be_v judge_v of_o what_o sort_n they_o be_v for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o horrible_a offence_n of_o itself_o &_o simple_o for_o one_o to_o kyl_v his_o father_n y_z t_z saguntine_n who_o have_v leifer_n that_o their_o parent_n shall_v dye_v be_v free_a and_o unuanquysh_v then_o to_o live_v in_o servitude_n &_o slaverye_n be_v parricide_n therefore_o in_o some_o case_n the_o son_n may_v berefe_n his_o father_n of_o his_o life_n
