they_o be_v due_a from_o transgressor_n as_o a_o imposition_n deserve_o upon_o they_o for_o their_o offence_n and_o not_o from_o the_o innocent_a who_o be_v wrongful_o imprison_v and_o of_o right_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v impose_v upon_o by_o any_o much_o less_o by_o the_o gaoler_n who_o be_v but_o inferior_a servant_n 3._o because_o there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o the_o land_n command_v and_o
