Before Mr. Papilion VVho did you make it to Mr. Dennis I made my information to the Secretary of State Mr. Papilion VVhich of them Mr. Dennis Secretary Jenkins Mr. Papil VVhy did you conceal it so long Mr. Den. Because I was in the City so long Mr. Papil Did you ever go about to muster your 400. men you had in Ireland I ask you whether you did or no Mr. Den. Upon my word I did advise some of them to be ready Mr. Papil And did you provide them with Arms Mr. Den. Not I Sir I was not able to do it Mr. Papil VVhat Religion are you of Mr. Den. I am a Protestant Mr. Papil How long have you been a Protestant Mr. Den. I have been a Protestant since Febr. last And this I must confess that when I was in Spain and France my resolution was to be a Protestant Mr. Godfrey Mr. Dennis pray who was in the Room when you were there Mr. Den. The Earl of Shaftsbury Sir Mr. Godfrey VVho else Mr. Den. Mr. Sheppard Mr. Godfrey VVho else Mr. Den. I cannot name them L. C. J. Mr. Godfrey when another man asks a question you should consider what is said and not ask the same question over and over again Mr. Papil In what place in his house Mr. Den. In his own Chamber in the great Chamber I do not know whether you call it the Hall or the Parlour Mr. Papil VVas it above stairs Mr. Den. Yes it was above stairs my Lord does not use to speak with any below stairs Mr. Papil Is this all that you know have you heard my Lord say any treasonable words in any other place or at any other time Mr. Den. In the long Gallery in his own house at another time Mr. Papil VVhy did not you say so before Mr. Den. I did say so before in the long Gallery he told me he would have a Common-wealth in England and extirpate the Crown of England and the King of England Mr. Papil Is that all speak all your knowledge Mr. Den. He said we should all Irish-men conform our selves to a Common-wealth and by that we should get our Estates again Mr. Papil I ask you if this is all you have to say L. C. J. Do you remember any more Mr. Papil More than you said in the Morning Mr. Den. He said he would extirpate the King and make England a Common-wealth and that we were fools and silly folks that did not comply our selves to their factious party and that we should get our Estates and that he would get me a black Gown and a Benefice in the mean time and when all things were done he would prefer me to a better and not only my self but all that were of my name and would stick to me Mr. Papil Is this all Mr. Den. This is all Mr. Papil Then you have nothing more Mr. Den. I never spake to him but in his own house Mr. Papil All your Kindred are Papists are not they Mr. Den. No Sir I cannot say so but most of them are L. C. J. North VVho can say that that question no body can answer L. C. J. Look ye Gentlemen now you have asked these questions you had best go and consider what evidence is delivered and weigh well all those things that have been said to you and you must consider your duty you are to enquire here whether it be fitting for the King to call my Lord Shaftsbury to question upon this account of treasonable words Mr. Papil My Lord we desire before we go that either the Law may be read or we may have the statute-Statute-book up with us L. C. J. The statute-Statute-book was never denyed but you shall have the Law read here First the Statute of the 25th of Edward the Third and then this last Statute L. C. J. North I would say one thing because I observe that some of you asked the question whether the Parliament did not debate about an Association whether it related to that Paper or no I am not certain I hope you will consider that Paper well for my part I must needs say for my self I heard of it but I never heard it read before and never heard the contents of it but it seems to me to show what those Officers were to do for the ends of this Association and one of those ends as I remember Gentlemen I refer you to the Paper and hope you will consider it you are men of understanding I thought that one of those ends was to destroy the mercenary forces in and about the Cities of London and Westminster and that the Government was to be by the major part of the Members of Parliament in the sitting of Parliament not with the King but the major part of the Members of Parliament Gentlemen I may mistake for I profess I speak only out of memory but it seems to me to be of great consequence and there is great matter to be presumed upon it it being found under Lock and Key in his Study but I suppose my Lord Shaftsbury may give an account of it but there is great presumption upon it it doth not import to be an Association by Act of Parliament Mr. At. Gen. VVhen the Parliament was prorogued or dissolved then the major part of the Members in each County engage themselves to follow their Command and obey their Order L. C. J. North Gentlemen I hope you will consider your Oaths and give all things their due weight L. C. J. VVill you have the Statute read Jury VVe will read it above The Jury withdrew to Consider the Evidence and returned the Bill Ignoramus upon which the People fell a hollowing and shouting Mr. At. Gen. My Lord let it be Recorded this hollowing and hooping in a Court of Justice THE END
