george_n cole_n and_o william_n baron_n churchwarden_n of_o the_o parish_n of_o st._n bartholomew_n exchange_n each_o do_v declare_v as_o follow_v whereas_o we_o can_v of_o our_o own_o knowledge_n prove_v who_o of_o the_o parishioner_n have_v and_o who_o have_v not_o be_v at_o church_n and_o for_o that_o mr._n robert_n key_n the_o late_a churchwarden_n do_v promise_v to_o give_v in_o and_o make_v up_o his_o account_n we_o give_v in_o our_o presentment_n as_o we_o do_v for_o the_o person_n follow_v we_o do_v not_o remember_v to_o have_v see_v they_o at_o church_n in_o some_o time_n past_a or_o to_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n for_o three_o month_n past_a mr._n robert_n key_n mr._n peter_n kid._n mr._n michael_n bayly_n mr._n job_n sergeant_n mr._n …_o jones_n mr._n …_o walker_n mr._n francis_n miller_n mr._n john_n millward_n mr._n thomas_n netherway_n mr._n george_n sterman_n mr._n …_o jacksen_n and_o as_o touch_v the_o aforesaid_a presentment_n the_o say_a jones_n do_v very_o believe_v that_o the_o churchwarden_n do_v not_o do_v it_o as_o a_o act_n of_o envy_n or_o ill_a will_n to_o their_o neighbour_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o name_n of_o the_o before_o mention_v parishioner_n be_v carry_v to_o doctors-common_n by_o some_o body_n else_o and_o then_o the_o churchwarden_n be_v send_v for_o to_o doctors-common_n and_o require_v to_o put_v they_o into_o a_o presentment_n and_o the_o say_a churchwarden_n do_v then_o forbear_v to_o do_v so_o but_o about_o a_o week_n after_o they_o do_v it_o at_o the_o importunity_n of_o some_o person_n at_o doctors-common_n however_o the_o say_v jones_n can_v but_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o churchwarden_n be_v very_o spare_v of_o their_o word_n in_o the_o presentment_n there_o be_v no_o harsh_a expression_n against_o any_o of_o their_o neighbour_n neither_o have_v they_o make_v it_o a_o positive_a charge_n thereby_o demonstrate_v they_o be_v man_n cautious_a of_o what_o they_o do_v in_o matter_n of_o accusation_n but_o it_o seem_v any_o small_a hint_n at_o thing_n of_o a_o accuse_v nature_n may_v serve_v as_o a_o foundation_n of_o the_o proceed_n of_o that_o court._n and_o the_o say_v jones_n further_a say_v that_o if_o the_o aforesaid_a churchwarden_n have_v not_o consent_v to_o make_v this_o presentment_n they_o can_v not_o have_v be_v punish_v by_o that_o court_n and_o see_v the_o name_n be_v carry_v into_o court_n by_o some_o other_o person_n they_o may_v have_v leave_v he_o to_o be_v prosecutor_n who_o be_v so_o forward_o to_o turn_v informer_n but_o this_o matter_n be_v do_v it_o can_v be_v now_o undo_v and_o poor_a jones_n do_v yet_o hope_v he_o shall_v not_o be_v quite_o undo_v by_o it_o and_o for_o the_o benefit_n and_o help_n of_o churchwarden_n who_o be_v require_v by_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n to_o take_v a_o oath_n to_o make_v presentment_n of_o crime_n and_o ofence_n let_v the_o statute_n of_o anno_fw-la decimo_fw-la sexto_fw-la
