in_o this_o case_n i_o hear_v several_a thing_n urge_v particular_o instance_v in_o modern_a practice_n if_o that_o gentleman_n will_v show_v that_o in_o any_o case_n the_o king_n and_o the_o court_n

that_o have_v be_v in_o this_o case_n which_o they_o clamour_n of_o i_o think_v they_o have_v little_a reason_n to_o speak_v so_o since_o that_o have_v be_v do_v in_o this_o case_n that_o never_o be_v

of_o a_o plea_n consider_v upon_o what_o ground_n they_o plead_v and_o do_v not_o that_o let_v they_o into_o the_o whole_a matter_n where_o the_o weak_a part_n of_o the_o plea_n be_v and_o what_o may_v be_v object_v against_o it_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o these_o gentleman_n be_v of_o that_o consideration_n that_o no_o man_n do_v believe_v they_o will_v put_v in_o this_o or_o any_o plea_n without_o have_v consider_v beforehand_o what_o to_o do_v and_o then_o when_o they_o have_v put_v in_o a_o plea_n upon_o great_a consideration_n no_o man_n be_v to_o think_v that_o they_o be_v unready_a to_o maintain_v it_o our_o exception_n be_v short_a and_o they_o do_v but_o talk_v in_o general_a term_n that_o they_o be_v unprepared_a and_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o expect_v this_o kindness_n from_o the_o court_n especial_o since_o they_o use_v mr._n attorney_n at_o this_o rate_n they_o give_v he_o not_o the_o plea_n but_o only_o a_o note_n to_o tell_v he_o they_o will_v do_v that_o which_o they_o say_v four_o day_n before_o and_o no_o more_o if_o they_o have_v do_v regular_o they_o shall_v have_v bring_v mr._n attorney_n the_o plea_n and_o leave_v a_o copy_n with_o

seem_v now_o to_o urge_v concern_v the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v concern_v in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v true_a the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n be_v concern_v which_o be_v a_o dear_a thing_n to_o the_o law_n but_o certain_o the_o life_n of_o the_o government_n be_v more_o dear_a to_o the_o government_n and_o all_o court_n of_o justice_n than_o the_o life_n of_o any_o one_o single_a person_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a this_o one_o person_n have_v do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o strike_v at_o the_o life_n of_o the_o government_n in_o case_n this_o be_v true_a that_o be_v lay_v to_o
