they_o can_v not_o be_v who_o for_o the_o prevail_a part_n of_o they_o be_v either_o actual_o in_o the_o conspiracy_n against_o he_o or_o join_v with_o the_o conspirator_n and_o refuse_v so_o much_o

they_o can_v not_o be_v sinal_a judge_n because_o be_v neither_o competent_a nor_o authentic_a judge_n they_o be_v no_o proper_a judge_n at_o all_o nor_o do_v it_o all_o help_v the_o matter_n that_o

to_o he_o nor_o be_v their_o convention_n any_o thing_n without_o he_o they_o can_v convene_v without_o his_o writ_n you_o may_v have_v remember_v that_o your_o oracle_n dr._n b_o tell_v you_o that_o

about_o if_o they_o be_v not_o sensible_a already_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o will_v in_o a_o little_a time_n and_o now_o sir_n if_o you_o will_v give_v i_o the_o same_o liberty_n to_o put_v

when_o you_o set_v pen_n to_o paper_n it_o be_v to_o this_o effect_n that_o when_o the_o violence_n be_v essential_o unjust_a unnatural_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o moral_a and_o eternal_a law_n of_o god_n and_o righteousness_n no_o human_a compact_n can_v ratify_v such_o wrong_n or_o justify_v and_o confirm_v what_o be_v essential_o injurious_a nor_o ought_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o

his_o father_n in_o prison_n this_o man_n immorality_n be_v damnable_a be_v it_o so_o i_o think_v this_o be_v a_o bone_n for_o some_o body_n to_o pick_v which_o may_v hold_v he_o tug_v though_o his_o
