every_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v attent_a &_o whersoever_o he_o find_v falsehood_n or_o deceit_n to_o be_v wilful_o and_o purposely_o intend_v and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v excuse_v by_o error_n or_o

as_o charge_v to_o my_o remembrance_n and_o much_o less_o convince_v of_o any_o one_o such_o wilful_a falsification_n as_o before_o i_o have_v allege_v and_o that_o both_o the_o knight_n and_o
