of_o 5_o s._n and_o 10_o s._n be_v to_o be_v levy_v upon_o the_o good_n of_o the_o husband_n and_o so_o the_o wife_n be_v present_a at_o a_o conventicle_n be_v within_o the_o letter_n and_o the_o

under_o colour_n or_o pretence_n of_o any_o exercise_n of_o religion_n etc._n etc._n the_o preamble_n of_o this_o statute_n say_v that_o seditious_a sectary_n and_o other_o disloyal_a person_n under_o

household_n but_o before_o they_o proceed_v to_o any_o pretend_a exercise_n of_o religion_n they_o be_v disturb_v and_o suppress_v the_o question_n be_v whether_o these_o or_o any_o of_o they_o may_v be_v convict_v for_o be_v present_a at_o a_o conventicle_n under_o colour_n or_o pretence_n of_o any_o exercise_n of_o religion_n see_v none_o be_v there_o exercise_v this_o be_v a_o question_n that_o may_v and_o i_o suppose_v do_v often_o happen_v and_o i_o take_v it_o somewhat_o clear_a that_o in_o such_o case_n they_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v convict_v for_o the_o chief_a end_n and_o design_n of_o that_o statute_n be_v to_o prevent_v sedition_n and_o insurrection_n and_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o obtain_v that_o end_n this_o law_n be_v make_v to_o suppress_v conventicy_n where_o as_o the_o statute_n take_v notice_n sedition_n and_o insurrection_n be_v contrive_v now_o if_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v convict_v though_o there_o be_v no_o actual_a exercise_n of_o religion_n than_o their_o plot_v sedition_n and_o contrive_v insurrection_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n shall_v escape_v correction_n whilst_o a_o pretend_a exercise_n of_o religion_n be_v the_o lesser_a evil_n as_o be_v
