and_o it_o be_v for_o murder_n wherein_o our_o law_n take_v notice_n that_o murder_n be_v where_o a_o man_n unlawful_o kill_v another_o under_o the_o king_n peace_n with_o malice_n forethink_v now_o

the_o evidence_n fix_v it_o not_o upon_o one_o only_a but_o upon_o both_o it_o be_v at_o that_o time_n so_o dark_a they_o can_v not_o be_v distinguish_v but_o by_o the_o voice_n the_o centinel_n have_v give_v you_o a_o account_n how_o he_o perform_v his_o duty_n and_o in_o what_o straight_o he_o be_v he_o have_v much_o ado_n to_o save_v his_o own_o life_n or_o to_o prevent_v kill_v they_o but_o when_o they_o come_v upon_o the_o stair_n these_o two_o boy_n come_v there_o in_o order_n to_o desire_v the_o centinel_n to_o call_v one_o of_o they_o the_o next_o morning_n then_o one_o on_o the_o stair_n no_o man_n can_v tell_v who_o it_o be_v with_o horrid_a execration_n ask_v will_v you_o command_v the_o king_n soldier_n shoot_v he_o centinel_n we_o will_v bear_v you_o out_o but_o all_o this_o while_o it_o be_v dusk_n no_o distinction_n of_o person_n can_v be_v make_v whereupon_o it_o will_v fall_v out_o to_o come_v to_o this_o case_n if_o several_a person_n intend_v to_o

but_o when_o they_o be_v all_o together_o he_o not_o endeavour_v to_o stop_v his_o hand_n it_o be_v as_o much_o in_o law_n as_o if_o he_o have_v strike_v the_o stroke_n the_o other_o soldier_n give_v
