and_o whereas_o oath_n by_o god_n institution_n be_v chief_o allow_v to_o be_v take_v before_o lawful_a magistrate_n for_o end_v of_o controversy_n yet_o common_a experience_n do_v teach_v in_o this_o

say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o judge_n of_o rule_n of_o policy_n but_o of_o law_n and_o that_o they_o know_v no_o certain_a rule_n of_o law_n concerning_o reducement_n of_o fine_n the_o same_o be_v
