notable_a cunning_a lawyer_n and_o if_o such_o a_o challenge_n be_v to_o have_v be_v allow_v no_o doubt_n he_o will_v have_v make_v use_n of_o it_o but_o the_o challenge_n be_v not_o take_v and_o if_o

myself_o and_o never_o hear_v it_o take_v therefore_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o before_o any_o statute_n be_v make_v in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v the_o custom_n in_o london_n to_o try_v without_o

only_o to_o be_v probos_fw-la &_o legales_fw-la homines_fw-la and_o no_o more_o till_o the_o statute_n make_v it_o so_o but_o there_o be_v a_o particular_a reservation_n for_o corporation_n and_o certain_o if_o this_o shall_v be_v admit_v to_o be_v a_o good_a challenge_n though_o it_o be_v between_o party_n and_o party_n there_o will_v be_v in_o some_o corporation_n a_o perfect_a failure_n of_o justice_n so_o that_o without_o doubt_n at_o common_a law_n there_o be_v no_o such_o challenge_n as_o for_o the_o statute_n of_o h._n 5._o it_o be_v go_v by_o that_o of_o queen_n mary_n if_o this_o be_v admit_v within_o london_n nothing_o will_v be_v more_o mischievous_a to_o this_o corporation_n methinks_v we_o have_v be_v very_o nice_a in_o this_o matter_n when_o the_o life_n of_o the_o

freehold_n be_v that_o no_o slight_a person_n shall_v be_v put_v upon_o a_o jury_n where_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n or_o his_o estate_n come_v in_o question_n but_o in_o the_o city_n the_o person_n
