torment_v he_o within_o he_o can_v not_o forbear_v i_o but_o call_v for_o the_o man_n of_o the_o house_n to_o command_v i_o out_o several_a time_n but_o he_o be_v not_o among_o they_o as_o they_o say_v so_o this_o ray_n be_v much_o vex_v and_o in_o much_o wrath_n and_o one_o of_o their_o elder_n name_v john_n tabram_n of_o wickin_n stand_v up_o and_o push_v i_o with_o his_o hand_n upon_o my_o

the_o officer_n now_o let_v all_o people_n see_v what_o weapon_n they_o make_v use_v of_o when_o one_o come_v sober_o and_o civil_o without_o any_o violence_n among_o they_o and_o present_o to_o be_v

may_v see_v what_o these_o people_n will_v do_v if_o they_o have_v a_o law_n to_o guard_v they_o as_o the_o priest_n have_v then_o there_o be_v one_o man_n that_o have_v be_v hear_v of_o they_o and_o he_o speak_v and_o say_v to_o this_o ray_n you_o say_v they_o be_v deceiver_n and_o they_o say_v you_o be_v deceiver_n now_o i_o will_v have_v you_o dispute_v it_o that_o those_o that_o be_v
