for_o though_o murder_v he_o die_v a_o murderer_n at_o least_o of_o himself_o because_o he_o have_v no_o right_a to_o take_v the_o sword_n and_o according_a as_o beforesaid_a by_o his_o take_n it_o

be_v a_o murderer_n of_o the_o survivor_n that_o be_v double_o a_o murderer_n and_o in_o both_o case_n too_o common_o impenitent_a as_o die_v before_o he_o come_v to_o temper_v sedate_n enough_o for_o repentance_n so_o that_o i_o say_v for_o the_o most_o part_n such_o person_n die_v double_o murderer_n and_o impenitent_a and_o then_o good_a god_n what_o be_v their_o estate_n consider_v this_o in_o

for_o this_o be_v the_o general_a resolution_n in_o these_o case_n i_o can_v have_v no_o satisfaction_n by_o law_n therefore_o i_o will_v fight_v he_o now_o let_v we_o but_o attend_v how_o
