self-interest_n we_o must_v allow_v they_o to_o be_v good_a witness_n of_o those_o matter_n of_o fact_n which_o happen_v in_o their_o time_n as_o that_o such_o doctrine_n be_v then_o general_o

the_o reason_n they_o allege_v and_o if_o we_o will_v act_v like_o man_n we_o ought_v so_o to_o do_v before_o we_o receive_v their_o opinion_n now_o by_o what_o i_o perceive_v in_o the_o late_a
