because_o they_o only_o can_v criminate_a or_o clear_a and_o where_o the_o power_n of_o determination_n be_v there_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o law_n but_o that_o be_v in_o the_o jury_n where_o

be_v the_o jury_n and_o one_o of_o law_n which_o be_v the_o justice_n but_o because_o the_o law_n know_v no_o such_o conceit_n and_o that_o the_o single_a verdict_n of_o twelve_o man_n be_v and_o must_v be_v legal_o bind_v therefore_o be_v they_o judge_n both_o of_o law_n and_o fact_n object_n their_o main_a objection_n be_v that_o if_o the_o justice_n be_v not_o judge_n of_o law_n how_o

lessen_v the_o force_n of_o our_o precede_a argument_n that_o from_o this_o objection_n we_o will_v fetch_v matter_n enough_o to_o make_v a_o subsequential_a one_o and_o that_o of_o no_o small_a
