man_n of_o understanding_n at_o all_o mr._n johnson_n my_o lord_n it_o be_v our_o unhappiness_n to_o come_v before_o you_o under_o these_o circumstance_n we_o have_v understand_v there_o be_v a_o

my_o sense_n and_o if_o the_o other_o gentleman_n think_v otherwise_o they_o will_v speak_v it_o i_o think_v the_o office_n of_o a_o juror_n be_v such_o that_o it_o be_v within_o his_o power_n to_o

it_o never_o be_v pretend_v by_o any_o man_n nor_o will_v it_o be_v assert_v by_o an●_n man_n that_o understand_v himself_o or_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n of_o this_o kingdom_n
