not_o establish_v new_a as_o certain_a but_o leave_v conscience_n in_o a_o worse_a danger_n than_o they_o find_v they_o in_o i_o believe_v that_o law_n of_o moses_n have_v in_o it_o some_o mystery_n and_o appliablenesse_n for_o by_o that_o law_n man_n be_v only_o then_o bind_v to_o that_o indemnity_n and_o compensation_n if_o a_o ox_n or_o a_o ass_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v of_o a_o strong_a
