of_o course_n have_v his_o zeal_n be_v half_o so_o much_o for_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v for_o falsehood_n it_o have_v be_v a_o commendable_a zeal_n but_o when_o man_n be_v so_o zealous_a and_o fierce_a for_o such_o vile_a thing_n as_o these_o be_v it_o be_v time_n of_o my_o word_n for_o the_o government_n to_o interpose_v mr._n att._n gen._n it_o be_v not_o to_o satisfy_v the_o court_n nor_o the_o
