and_o that_o must_v be_v according_a to_o law_n i_o hope_v my_o lord_n that_o where_o a_o double_a construction_n may_v be_v make_v of_o the_o word_n the_o most_o favourable_a may_v be_v interpret_v for_o i_o especial_o since_o where_o there_o be_v a_o desire_n of_o do_v justice_n there_o can_v be_v no_o intention_n of_o injustice_n for_o my_o lord_n if_o justice_n be_v demand_v and_o injustice_n do_v thereupon_o i_o can_v not_o any_o way_n help_v it_o i_o say_v my_o lord_n there_o be_v a_o double_a construction_n of_o the_o word_n demand_v justice_n or_o judgement_n a_o judgement_n of_o
