by_o his_o example_n i_o can_v further_o allege_v sundry_a other_o example_n of_o like_a rigour_n and_o severity_n exercise_v by_o judge_n and_o that_o upon_o their_o near_a kinsman_n and_o not_o to_o

as_o well_o in_o this_o as_o in_o other_o thing_n we_o may_v well_o wonder_v thereat_o for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o fifty_o pardon_n be_v grant_v with_o less_o suit_n at_o this_o day_n than_o five_o can_v be_v obtain_v two_o hundred_o year_n ago_o and_o we_o have_v hear_v how_o a_o judge_n of_o paris_n who_o be_v live_v within_o these_o hundred_o year_n will_v use_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o the_o due_a execution_n of_o justice_n which_o man_n use_v now_o a_o day_n to_o hinder_v the_o same_o for_o whereas_o we_o say_v he_o be_v a_o young_a man_n and_o in_o the_o april_n of_o his_o
