A27848 Advice to grand jurors in cases of blood asserting from law and reason that at the King's suit in all cases (where a person by law is to be indicted for killing of another person) that the indictment ought to be drawn for murther, and that the grand jury ought to find it murther, where their evidence is that the party intended to be indicted had his hands in blood, and did kill the other person / by Zachary Babington, Gent. Babington, Zachary. 1677 (1677) Wing B248; ESTC R17389 86,057 253

juratores_fw-la super_fw-la sacramentum_fw-la suum_fw-la praesentant_fw-la not_o dicunt_fw-la there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n between_o praesentant_fw-la and_o dicunt_fw-la as_o betwixt_o a_o
