at_o any_o rate_n do_v in_o law_n cause_n a_o forfeiture_n of_o his_o right_n and_o then_o whether_o a_o presumtive_a crime_n be_v it_o what_o it_o will_v can_v by_o law_n take_v away_o the_o right_n of_o any_o subject_n estate_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o hard_a measure_n for_o a_o prince_n to_o be_v deny_v the_o common_a right_n of_o every_o subject_a when_o implead_v as_o a_o criminal_a
