person_n suspect_v his_o education_n principle_n and_o manner_n of_o life_n which_o way_n of_o inspection_n as_o it_o go_v as_o far_o as_o man_n can_v reach_v so_o can_v it_o scarce_o fail_v for_o those_o person_n will_v not_o only_o discover_v their_o own_o hypocrisy_n if_o they_o conceal_v he_o but_o expose_v themselves_o and_o their_o friend_n to_o ruin_n so_o that_o to_o say_v true_a the_o government_n have_v the_o interest_n and_o security_n of_o a_o entire_a party_n for_o the_o discovery_n of_o every_o such_o suspect_a person_n but_o if_o this_o will_v not_o do_v than_o second_o be_v you_o please_v to_o refer_v the_o discrimination_n of_o suspect_a person_n to_o the_o good_a old_a way_n of_o the_o government_n that_o be_v the_o inquiry_n and_o judgement_n of_o twelve_o man_n of_o the_o neighbourhood_n to_o wit_n a_o jury_n provide_v always_o that_o they_o be_v such_o as_o have_v take_v or_o will_v themselves_o take_v the_o test_n else_o that_o they_o may_v be_v exceptable_a by_o the_o party_n suspect_v indeed_o a_o good_a expedient_a may_v be_v make_v out_o of_o both_o for_o the_o first_o may_v be_v the_o evidence_n to_o the_o last_o and_o i_o think_v you_o will_v
