all_o along_o unrepealed_a in_o our_o case_n till_o henry_n the_o second_o do_v so_o repeal_n or_o attempt_v to_o repeal_v they_o so_o and_o that_o on_o the_o other_o side_n all_o right_a reason_n

whatsoever_o saint_n or_o not_o saint_n martyr_n or_o not_o martyr_n must_v be_v false_a in_o the_o case_n and_o this_o and_o this_o only_o be_v my_o reason_n for_o admit_v so_o that_o major_a but_o

the_o second_o must_v i_o admit_v this_o minor_a i_o say_v nothing_o less_o for_o i_o deny_v it_o plain_o and_o flat_o and_o that_o too_o without_o any_o kind_n of_o distinction_n and_o that_o i_o
