condemn_v i_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o die_v for_o any_o of_o they_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n because_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n may_v be_v a_o evil_a man_n and_o do_v many_o thing_n that_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o good_a man_n be_v worthy_a of_o death_n yet_o if_o our_o law_n make_v not_o those_o crime_n capital_a or_o if_o the_o law_n make_v they_o capital_a and_o not_o treason_n we_o ought_v not_o for_o treason_n to_o adjudge_v he_o unto_o death_n so_o in_o sum_n the_o result_n be_v this_o that_o he_o may_v just_o deserve_v death_n and_o yet_o be_v very_o unjust_o condemn_v to_o death_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o some_o of_o his_o friend_n that_o
