and_o then_o the_o clerk_n read_v a_o long_a indictment_n full_a of_o falsehood_n and_o ask_v i_o if_o i_o be_v guilty_a and_o i_o tell_v he_o i_o deny_v all_o guilt_n and_o call_v for_o my_o

these_o false_a witness_n be_v hear_v to_o the_o full_a what_o they_o will_v say_v against_o i_o and_o thus_o the_o leader_n of_o the_o people_n cause_v they_o to_o err_v for_o if_o the_o teacher_n
