ever_o make_v it_o my_o study_n to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n towards_o god_n and_o towards_o man_n and_o therefore_o i_o little_o expect_v to_o be_v bring_v as_o a_o

his_o body_n or_o his_o soul_n may_v take_v away_o the_o life_n and_o fame_n of_o any_o one_o at_o pleasure_n it_o be_v to_o man_n of_o such_o principle_n i_o owe_v my_o present_a trouble_n i_o do_v
