mean that of rendering a false account of
the [sometimes by appearance but more commonly
by device] of intentions motive & inducements
Now these body as much matter of fact as
any other, with this difference that they are
transacted in the mind of the party where they can
immediately be contemplated by him alone, instead⊞ ⊞ of being transacted in any place
which are no more inapt in their own nature to their
being made regarded as foundations of Perjury, than any
other
