so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o bear_v false_a witness_n in_o this_o matter_n either_o for_o want_v of_o knowledge_n because_o they_o be_v many_o and_o learned_a &_o of_o different_a country_n and_o most_o diligent_a in_o search_v the_o matter_n and_o the_o matter_n itself_o most_o easy_a nor_o for_o want_v of_o good_a will_n towards_o the_o cause_n because_o they_o be_v all_o most_o earnest_a
