To state and discuss the several cases in which explanation and distinctions by the help of which young men and old, profance and sacred are by this Right Reverend person instructed and empowered to committ perjury, /In talking becakwrads and forards but upon the whole/ In certifying to them that it is not perjury would be an endless business.
