because_o sir_n geo._n jefferies_n insinuate_v to_o the_o jury_n as_o if_o i_o have_v make_v a_o story_n about_o go_v thither_o but_o i_o never_o say_v that_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n and_o i_o

i_o suppose_v it_o look_v more_o like_a innocence_n than_o gild_n i_o be_v also_o advise_v not_o to_o confess_v matter_n of_o fact_n plain_o since_o that_o must_v certain_o have_v bring_v i_o within_o

of_o the_o jury_n than_o to_o make_v the_o last_o and_o solemne_v part_n of_o my_o life_n so_o different_a from_o the_o course_n of_o it_o as_o the_o use_v little_a trick_n and_o evasion_n must_v
