A41882	The Great case of the justices stated and determined touching their duty of putting the laws in execution, whether dissenters were indulg'd or not, or, A discourse concerning the oath of the justice of peace, explaining the extent of its obligation : being a case universally seasonable, in regard to righteousness, peace, and the prosperity of this nation.		1688 (1688)	Wing G1672; ESTC R43213	15,063	84

this_o i_o take_v to_o have_v be_v his_o native_a judgement_n and_o whatsoever_o his_o adventitious_a practice_n may_v be_v upon_o the_o scene-altering_a there_o be_v none_o but_o must_v confess_v

according_a to_o a_o man_n conscience_n not_o err_v intolerable_o be_v instead_o of_o vice_n and_o ill-doing_a i_o do_v ask_v how_o can_v the_o justice_n be_v bind_v by_o his_o office_n to_o do_v that_o which_o do_v prevent_v the_o institution_n itself_o but_o let_v we_o suppose_v a_o justice_n of_o peace_n who_o be_v of_o the_o mind_n that_o the_o dissenter_n be_v ill_a man_n and_o their_o
