murder_n be_v a_o sin_n that_o seldom_o go_v unpunished_a in_o this_o world_n and_o never_o do_v any_o jesuit_n hold_v it_o meritorious_a to_o kill_v man_n for_o bring_v tyrant_n and_o murderer_n to_o justice_n or_o to_o do_v such_o horrid_a act_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o sun_n it_o be_v a_o noble_a say_n of_o the_o lord_n president_n that_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o nothing_o so_o much_o as_o

not_o to_o decline_v a_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o the_o people_n for_o fear_n of_o any_o loss_n or_o danger_n be_v above_o such_o thought_n by_o many_o story_n as_o action_n testify_v but_o allege_v

and_o in_o so_o do_v they_o have_v pronounce_v sentence_n not_o only_o against_o one_o tyrant_n but_o tyranny_n itself_o therefore_o if_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v turn_v tyrant_n or_o consent_n to_o
