pardonable_a if_o not_o meritorious_a when_o it_o be_v to_o preserve_v the_o chastity_n and_o freedom_n of_o our_o common_a parent_n the_o subject_a of_o the_o book_n be_v of_o the_o disposal_n of_o

to_o the_o determination_n of_o our_o lawmaker_n who_o be_v the_o judge_n ordain_v by_o god_n recourse_n ought_v to_o be_v have_v to_o man_n who_o profession_n it_o be_v to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o

best_o know_v what_o belong_v to_o that_o dignity_n his_o word_n therefore_o be_v on_o all_o account_n a_o sufficient_a proof_n he_o be_v indeed_o there_o speak_v of_o the_o exaltation_n to_o power_n
