Some of the praise that wreath of which pursues his conduct whatsoever
course it takes, and from which, were it even his wish it
would not be n sca scarce be in his power to escape, the
reverend Judge has but to the ground in which it shall
meet his brow descend upon. Whither at the moment Justice or
King be the power to which chosen to reason the tribute of his homage,
a passage if [+] Lord Hale, equally adaptable capable as usual [+] Judge Blackstone with a jewel of Lord Chief Justice Hale's enclosed in it - a warrantan instrument

"Kind we may later intent - 1. that man of the stat

"in favour of life, great strictness has at all times been Comm IV. 369,
"observed in every point of an indictment+. Sir Matthew + not so much as in when life is not at stake
