that_o have_v deserve_v far_o otherwise_o how_o strict_o soever_o they_o be_v call_v to_o account_v and_o we_o may_v be_v certain_a of_o this_o that_o very_o few_o of_o they_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o

with_o corporal_a impunity_n be_v advantage_n enough_o nay_o too_o great_a for_o such_o unacceptable_a service_n as_o they_o have_v do_v the_o nation_n therefore_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v the_o

but_o if_o they_o say_v they_o desire_v justice_n according_a to_o the_o law_n than_o all_o english_a man_n have_v their_o privilege_n and_o one_o plea_n will_v serve_v we_o all_o but_o by_o their_o
