to_o be_v saint_n in_o another_o world_n because_o they_o may_v commit_v murder_n in_o this_o so_o this_o aught_o too_o as_o much_o to_o be_v condemn_v by_o all_o protestant_n as_o the_o other_o that_o man_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o rebel_v and_o be_v factious_a in_o this_o world_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v reckon_v good_a subject_n the_o one_o be_v as_o far_o from_o be_v good_a saint_n as_o the_o other_o from_o be_v good_a subject_n i_o take_v this_o occasion_n to_o speak_v all_o this_o before_o your_o lordship_n and_o this_o court_n because_o i_o hope_v the_o city_n of_o london_n will_v never_o be_v corrupt_v by_o the_o base_a insinuate_a of_o some_o idle_a busybody_n in_o it_o man_n who_o can_v or_o will_v not_o be_v please_v because_o forsooth_o every_o thing_n do_v not_o

every_o one_o shall_v pay_v he_o that_o tribute_n as_o infallible_o as_o if_o he_o be_v the_o only_a fit_a person_n to_o give_v measure_n to_o government_n and_o governor_n when_o we_o come_v to_o have_v extraordinary_a case_n and_o person_n extraordinary_a occasion_n ought_v to_o be_v take_v to_o inflict_v due_a and_o just_a punishment_n upon_o they_o and_o when_o they_o shall_v dare_v to_o

shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a to_o do_v his_o duty_n but_o such_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o this_o city_n in_o this_o jury_n that_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o receive_v so_o much_o the_o great_a

that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o find_v he_o guilty_a of_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o information_n they_o will_v acquit_v he_o so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n they_o will_v not_o think_v themselves_o to_o
