sophistry_n of_o word_n to_o prove_v i_o guilty_a when_o his_o evidence_n in_o matter_n of_o fact_n do_v utter_o fail_v he_o even_o as_o a_o man_n will_v go_v before_o a_o assize_n to_o prove_v one_o guilty_a of_o theft_n or_o felony_n by_o false_a syllogism_n when_o his_o evidence_n be_v short_a in_o matter_n of_o fact_n thus_o argue_v against_o a_o innocent_a person_n some_o man_n be_v a_o
