this_o appear_v by_o consideriug_n 1._o that_o many_o time_n those_o crime_n be_v equal_o punish_v here_o that_o be_v not_o of_o equal_a guilt_n because_o they_o proceed_v from_o different_a source_n that_o lie_v so_o low_a as_o the_o strict_a inquisition_n can_v discover_v and_o many_o specious_a action_n do_v for_o corrupt_a end_n and_o therefore_o without_o moral_a value_n be_v equal_o reward_v
