because_o this_o man_n be_v innocent_a in_o st._n martin_n lane_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o do_v this_o thing_n in_o bell_n yard_n there_o be_v another_o circumstance_n against_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n that_o he_o shall_v imagine_v notwithstanding_o all_o this_o that_o mr._n arnold_n have_v wound_v himself_o but_o when_o he_o find_v that_o that_o be_v not_o very_o probable_a that_o

some_o of_o his_o friend_n may_v indeed_o if_o he_o be_v guilty_a some_o of_o his_o relation_n may_v do_v it_o but_o certain_o he_o be_v no_o friend_n that_o do_v it_o it_o be_v against_o nature_n for_o any_o man_n to_o believe_v that_o any_o person_n shall_v put_v himself_o to_o so_o much_o trouble_v if_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o dispatch_v himself_o he_o may_v have_v do_v it_o with_o

the_o court_n to_o pronounce_v that_o judgement_n against_o you_o which_o they_o think_v may_v be_v reasonable_a to_o inflict_v upon_o such_o a_o offender_n for_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o be_v

mr._n arnold_n you_o have_v a_o charge_n of_o child_n therefore_o the_o court_n take_v some_o consideration_n not_o that_o they_o think_v to_o extend_v any_o mercy_n to_o you_o for_o your_o own_o

will_v have_v regard_n to_o your_o posterity_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o put_v so_o great_a a_o fine_a upon_o you_o as_o this_o fact_n do_v deserve_v but_o on_o the_o other_o
