though_o he_o shall_v escape_v this_o he_o can_v these_o and_o as_o to_o the_o probation_n of_o this_o crime_n i_o must_v first_o represent_v to_o you_o that_o in_o occult_a or_o atrocious_a crime_n the_o law_n have_v relax_v and_o remit_v much_o of_o its_o scrupulousness_n in_o probation_n because_o in_o these_o the_o ordinary_a probation_n can_v be_v have_v and_o to_o admit_v none_o but_o

murder_n commit_v but_o only_o such_o probation_n as_o can_v before_o god_n convince_v you_o that_o this_o murder_n be_v commit_v by_o that_o man_n no_o inquest_n ever_o fail_v to_o find_v the_o murder_n of_o child_n to_o be_v clear_o prove_v though_o there_o be_v no_o witness_n that_o see_v it_o commit_v and_o the_o murder_v parent_n be_v a_o more_o atrocious_a crime_n because_o we_o owe_v more_o duty_n to_o our_o parent_n than_o any_o parent_n do_v to_o a_o child_n and_o never_o son_n owe_v more_o than_o this_o do_v nor_o can_v be_v more_o believe_v to_o have_v kill_v a_o parent_n for_o clear_v whereof_o you_o be_v to_o consider_v first_o that_o he_o do_v not_o drown_v himself_o as_o be_v pretend_v but_o be_v murder_v by_o some_o person_n and_o as_o the_o law_n violent_o presume_v that_o no_o man_n will_v murder_v himself_o so_o without_o the_o help_n of_o this_o presumption_n it_o be_v prove_v most_o convince_o by_o ocular_a inspection_n that_o he_o be_v strangle_v the_o mark_n of_o strangle_v viz._n the_o congeal_a blood_n the_o dislocation_n of_o one_o of_o the_o vertebra_n in_o his_o neck_n etc._n etc._n be_v visible_a sign_n prove_v in_o the_o ordinary_a way_n and_o we_o have_v add_v to_o this_o the_o opinion_n both_o of_o the_o surgeon_n and_o phycisian_n who_o at_o once_o declare_v that_o he_o be_v not_o drown_v and_o that_o he_o be_v strangle_v the_o outward_a mark_n likewise_o of_o his_o not_o be_v drown_v appear_v as_o visible_o as_o that_o he_o be_v strangle_v so_o you_o must_v conclude_v that_o he_o be_v strangle_v except_o you_o can_v think_v that_o after_o he_o have_v strangle_v himself_o and_o break_v his_o own_o neck_n he_o drown_v himself_o in_o the_o next_o place_n who_o can_v have_v murder_v this_o innocent_a and_o oblige_a gentleman_n except_o some_o person_n who_o have_v access_n to_o his_o house_n wherein_o he_o be_v murder_v and_o have_v malice_n against_o himself_o and_o these_o two_o can_v meet_v in_o no_o person_n but_o this_o unnatural_a barbarous_a son_n for_o one_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o heighten_v his_o gild_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v abhor_v a_o father_n who_o engage_v mere_a stranger_n to_o love_v he_o as_o a_o friend_n and_o we_o have_v prove_v that_o he_o not_o only_o hate_v his_o father_n and_o that_o he_o have_v do_v so_o for_o many_o year_n but_o that_o he_o vow_v he_o will_v take_v away_o his_o life_n before_o christmas_n next_o and_o that_o in_o many_o various_a but_o clear_a expression_n and_o at_o many_o several_a time_n for_o sometime_o he_o swear_v if_o he_o make_v a_o disposition_n to_o his_o second_o son_n he_o shall_v take_v his_o life_n sometime_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v master_n of_o all_o before_o christmas_n and_o he_o shall_v use_v the_o servant_n as_o they_o use_v he_o that_o though_o his_o mother_n be_v like_a to_o die_v that_o his_o father_n shall_v die_v before_o she_o and_o he_o scarce_o ever_o speak_v of_o his_o father_n without_o swear_v he_o will_v strike_v a_o sword_n to_o his_o heart_n nor_o will_v his_o passion_n so_o much_o as_o suffer_v he_o to_o dissemble_v this_o even_a to_o his_o mother_n and_o he_o who_o dare_v own_o it_o to_o
