this_o will_v put_v a_o stop_n to_o the_o course_n of_o justice_n but_o i_o mean_v that_o when_o one_o be_v gross_o ignorant_a or_o suspect_v of_o be_v incline_v to_o perjury_n something_o shall_v be_v enact_v to_o prevent_v it_o and_o the_o court_n be_v more_o cautious_a how_o such_o a_o one_o be_v admit_v to_o swear_v so_o hereupon_o those_o who_o make_v use_v of_o they_o ought_v in_o
