Of Perjury

[(C) Belief] See Tit. [Simp. Falshoods] verbo [believe]

[(D) Declares] Perjury may be by writing, finger language, &c. It matters not by what signs the declaration is
made. See Tit. [Simp. Falshood] verbo [cause]. If a man
being dumb were to write down his evidence, or being unable

[(E) Falshood] See Tit. Which may be either positive or negative
— See Tit. [Simp. Falshoods]

Punishment

See Tit. [Falshoods in general]
