the_o ruler_n be_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o neither_o the_o great_a nor_o the_o least_o be_v to_o be_v spare_v when_o criminal_n thou_o shall_v not_o as_o levit._n 19.15_o respect_v the_o person_n

to_o evil-doer_n it_o be_v so_o to_o strike_v awe_n into_o they_o that_o they_o may_v not_o dare_v to_o transgress_v by_o threaten_n pecuniary-mulct_n fine_n imprisonment_n and_o other_o way_n and_o

fear_n of_o the_o stroke_n of_o justice_n i_o shall_v have_v make_v this_o way_n to_o the_o word_n offer_v thence_o this_o proposition_n that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o that_o have_v authority_n to_o hinder_v man_n from_o and_o to_o punish_v they_o for_o evil_o do_v or_o evil-doer_n be_v to_o be_v restrain_v and_o terrify_v by_o magistrate_n though_o this_o be_v equal_o

shall_v 1._o evidence_n that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o magistrate_n to_o terrify_v and_o punish_v evil-doer_n 2._o i_o shall_v inquire_v what_o evil-doer_n in_o particular_a they_o be_v to_o
