nor_o handle_v it_o in_o part_n divide_o but_o as_o one_o entire_a because_o i_o hold_v no_o other_o difference_n between_o imprisonment_n and_o confinement_n then_o only_o this_o that_o one_o have_v a_o less_o and_o straight_a the_o other_o a_o great_a and_o large_a prison_n and_o this_o word_n confinement_n not_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o one_o case_n of_o our_o law_n if_o therefore_o
