the_o thing_n do_v be_v real_o a_o offence_n against_o the_o law_n and_o so_o a_o fact_n punishable_a by_o the_o law_n for_o there_o may_v be_v some_o act_n that_o will_v not_o unite_v with_o the_o

interpretation_n as_o for_o instance_n there_o be_v a_o act_n to_o prevent_v and_o suppress_v seditious_a conventicle_n now_o according_a to_o these_o express_a word_n this_o act_n will_v unite_v with_o the_o body_n of_o the_o law_n and_o in_o that_o sense_n may_v proper_o be_v call_v law_n because_o it_o be_v to_o prevent_v and_o suppress_v such_o action_n and_o practice_n as_o tend_v to_o discord_n strife_n and_o ill_a thing_n and_o thereby_o tend_v to_o the_o preservation_n of_o peaceable_a people_n now_o mark_v if_o any_o be_v try_v by_o this_o act_n because_o they_o only_o meet_v together_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o his_o fear_n and_o the_o evidence_n can_v prove_v nothing_o far_a than_o only_o a_o meeting_n and_o the_o judge_n tell_v you_o that_o such_o proof_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v such_o guilty_a of_o a_o offence_n that_o be_v take_v at_o a_o meeting_n though_o it_o be_v not_o apparent_o seditious_a such_o a_o interpretation_n make_v the_o law_n to_o be_v no_o law_n because_o it_o will_v not_o unite_v with_o the_o body_n of_o the_o law_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o judge_n interpretation_n for_o the_o interpretation_n quite_o alter_v the_o matter_n and_o so_o make_v such_o to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o their_o interpretation_n that_o be_v not_o proper_a object_n of_o the_o law_n and_o whosoever_o be_v find_v guilty_a as_o

word_n if_o their_o mind_n and_o word_n will_v unite_v with_o the_o body_n of_o the_o law_n than_o no_o interpretation_n be_v to_o wrest_v their_o mind_n and_o word_n from_o their_o proper_a sense_n and_o signification_n for_o so_o the_o judge_n may_v interpret_v the_o law_n to_o answer_v the_o witness_n and_o thereby_o make_v a_o innocent_a man_n to_o appear_v guilty_a of_o a_o offence_n when_o the_o witness_n be_v to_o answer_v the_o law_n by_o prove_v the_o fact_n to_o be_v a_o offence_n against_o the_o law_n itself_o or_o otherwise_o the_o law_n in_o itself_o do_v not_o operate_v upon_o any_o man_n to_o condemnation_n weigh_v and_o balance_v these_o thing_n in_o the_o just_a principle_n of_o god_n in_o which_o be_v the_o pure_a wisdom_n that_o give_v to_o discern_v the_o precious_a from_o the_o vile_a and_o so_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o those_o that_o serve_v god_n and_o those_o that_o serve_v he_o not_o and_o let_v each_o condition_n be_v answer_v with_o a_o just_a
