to_o death_n but_o here_o the_o hebrew_n doctor_n as_o mr._n selden_n observe_v distinguish_v the_o kill_n of_o a_o man_n into_o three_o kind_n the_o first_o be_v when_o though_o it_o be_v from_o pure_a ignorance_n and_o error_n yet_o there_o be_v some_o negligence_n in_o it_o which_o a_o prudent_a man_n may_v have_v avoid_v the_o second_o when_o a_o man_n kill_v another_o ignorant_o and_o can_v be_v blame_v for_o any_o negligence_n because_o such_o a_o thing_n seldom_o happen_v a_o example_n of_o the_o first_o they_o make_v to_o be_v when_o a_o man_n come_v down_o a_o ladder_n fall_v
