religious_a be_v both_o those_o that_o profess_v to_o meet_v for_o religion_n and_o those_o that_o profess_v it_o not_o but_o somewhat_o else_o equal_o guilty_a such_o a_o witness_n must_v be_v of_o

the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o then_o eris_fw-la mihi_fw-la magnus_fw-la apollo_n but_o you_o will_v say_v perhaps_o that_o it_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n already_o what_o only_a exercise_n of_o religion_n be_v allow_v and_o by_o consequence_n all_o other_o be_v disallow_v so_o that_o the_o witness_n needs_o only_o to_o tell_v in_o what_o manner_n they_o

between_o the_o witness_n and_o the_o judge_n to_o the_o jury-man_n conscience_n that_o the_o prisoner_n be_v guilty_a according_a to_o the_o indictment_n but_o will_v this_o satisfy_v you_o sir_n
