With exceptions taken to the said sentence, to unfold the iniquity thereof. With a short narrative of divers other passages and oppressions, wherewith he hath been also grieved in other times of his life, both before and since.

alexander_n stand_v the_o more_o clear_a in_o his_o oath_n be_v make_v with_o this_o caution_n and_o he_o who_o do_v a_o thing_n by_o another_o seem_v to_o do_v it_o by_o himself_o and_o in_o common_a

be_v to_o say_v if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o when_o master_n alexander_n first_o receive_v it_o then_o how_o can_v nevil_n blot_v out_o those_o word_n afterward_o especial_o if_o master_n alexander_n
