notable_a cunning_a lawyer_n and_o if_o such_o a_o challenge_n be_v to_o have_v be_v allow_v no_o doubt_n he_o will_v have_v make_v use_n of_o it_o but_o the_o challenge_n be_v not_o take_v and_o if_o

myself_o and_o never_o hear_v it_o take_v therefore_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o before_o any_o statute_n be_v make_v in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v the_o custom_n in_o london_n to_o try_v without_o

of_o justice_n so_o that_o without_o doubt_n at_o common_a law_n there_o be_v no_o such_o challenge_n as_o for_o the_o statute_n of_o h._n 5._o it_o be_v go_v by_o that_o of_o queen_n mary_n if_o this_o be_v admit_v within_o london_n nothing_o will_v be_v more_o mischievous_a to_o this_o corporation_n methinks_v we_o have_v be_v very_o nice_a in_o this_o matter_n when_o the_o life_n of_o the_o
