thou_o lie_v this_o manner_n of_o lie_n not_o be_v give_v upon_o any_o matter_n certain_a or_o word_n special_o repeat_v be_v to_o none_o effect_v and_o therefore_o if_o he_o who_o give_v such_o a_o

wherewith_o he_o be_v charge_v then_o must_v he_o either_o maintain_v his_o speech_n or_o confess_v the_o fault_n here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o in_o such_o quarrel_n wherein_o manifest_a

such_o injury_n as_o be_v offer_v and_o desire_v to_o show_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o offence_n either_o by_o word_n or_o writing_n they_o must_v so_o plain_o and_o sincere_o set_v down_o the_o

the_o lie_n be_v give_v do_v thereby_o lose_v the_o election_n of_o the_o weapon_n therefore_o ignorantlie_o and_o foolish_o they_o give_v the_o lie_n before_o they_o either_o know_v or_o ask_v the_o

lie_v this_o silly_a sort_n of_o quarrel_v may_v likewise_o be_v call_v a_o lie_n foolish_a and_o vain_a for_o he_o who_o shall_v use_v such_o word_n do_v thereby_o take_v upon_o he_o both_o to_o
