now_o upon_o this_o charge_n lay_v by_o he_o upon_o i_o and_o other_o of_o more_o value_n in_o the_o world_n by_o much_o than_o my_o poor_a self_n to_o profess_v himself_o again_o to_o be_v a_o protestant_n i_o also_o find_v that_o upon_o compare_v the_o several_a evidence_n which_o he_o have_v give_v against_o other_o he_o have_v apparent_o contradict_v himself_o and_o affirm_v several_a thing_n which_o can_v not_o subsist_v to_o be_v all_o true_a because_o they_o be_v contradictory_n one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o as_o to_o mr._n bedloe_n i_o find_v by_o the_o narrative_a of_o mr._n reading_n trial_n that_o he_o swear_v himself_o at_o that_o trial_n to_o be_v slat_o perjure_a when_o he_o give_v evidence_n against_o mr._n whitebread_n and_o mr._n fenwyck_n at_o mr._n ireland_n trial_n for_o be_v then_o swear_v to_o speak_v the_o truth_n the_o whole_a truth_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n against_o the_o say_a mr._n whitebread_n and_o fenwyck_n and_o have_v then_o affirm_v upon_o his_o say_a oath_n that_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o they_o and_o know_v nothing_o to_o give_v in_o evidence_n against_o they_o he_o do_v at_o the_o say_a trial_n of_o mr._n reading_n swear_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o stranger_n to_o mr._n whitebread_n and_o mr._n fenwyck_n as_o he_o affirm_v himself_o to_o be_v at_o their_o trial_n when_o he_o be_v swear_v to_o give_v evidence_n against_o they_o i_o be_v also_o inform_v and_o there_o be_v a_o witness_n to_o prove_v the_o same_o that_o when_o at_o one_o of_o the_o former_a trial_n witness_n be_v tender_v to_o prove_v that_o mr._n bedloe_n be_v a_o very_a ill_a man_n and_o that_o for_o that_o reason_n no_o credit_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o he_o he_o answer_v in_o the_o court_n public_o that_o they_o may_v save_v their_o labour_n to_o prove_v how_o ill_o he_o have_v be_v for_o he_o ready_o own_v the_o worst_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v say_v of_o he_o but_o that_o have_v the_o king_n pardon_n he_o be_v safe_a and_o as_o to_o both_o mr._n oates_n and_o mr._n bedloe_n i_o be_v inform_v from_o good_a hand_n 1._o that_o they_o have_v own_v themselves_o with_o what_o truth_n i_o will_v not_o undertake_v to_o say_v guilty_a of_o the_o same_o treason_n that_o they_o now_o charge_v upon_o i_o and_o other_o and_o this_o be_v evident_a from_o what_o they_o swear_v at_o every_o trial_n 2._o that_o they_o have_v receive_v their_o pardon_n more_o than_o once_o each_o of_o they_o 3._o that_o they_o have_v receive_v great_a reward_n for_o the_o evidence_n by_o they_o give_v against_o other_o in_o the_o same_o case_n 4._o that_o they_o expect_v great_a and_o far_a reward_n for_o the_o evidence_n to_o be_v give_v against_o i_o and_o other_o all_o which_o i_o conceive_v will_v render_v their_o evidence_n unfit_a to_o be_v credit_v by_o any_o jury_n if_o not_o whole_o invalid_a in_o law_n have_v gain_v these_o light_n after_o my_o long_a imprisonment_n i_o do_v with_o very_o great_a longing_n expect_v my_o trial_n and_o with_o great_a joy_n go_v to_o it_o when_o the_o day_n come_v which_o be_v saturday_n in_o whitsun-week_n be_v the_o 14_o of_o june_n now_o past_a though_o in_o my_o passage_n from_o the_o gaol_n to_o the_o court_n i_o find_v myself_o condemn_v by_o the_o multitude_n before_o my_o trial_n which_o i_o thank_v my_o god_n put_v i_o in_o remembrance_n of_o what_o my_o bless_a jesus_n suffer_v from_o the_o like_a vote_n of_o the_o people_n i_o shall_v forbear_v to_o repeat_v the_o particular_n of_o my_o trial_n because_o i_o will_v give_v no_o occasion_n to_o think_v that_o i_o have_v any_o intention_n to_o arraign_v the_o justice_n of_o my_o king_n or_o of_o the_o government_n or_o of_o my_o judge_n or_o jury_n only_o i_o shall_v crave_v leave_n to_o observe_v these_o follow_a particular_n viz._n i._o that_o the_o two_o first_o witness_n which_o be_v swear_v for_o the_o king_n depose_v nothing_o against_o i_o those_o be_v mr._n dugdale_n and_o mr._n prance_v ii_o that_o mr._n oat_n who_o be_v the_o three_o witness_v swear_v for_o the_o king_n and_o the_o first_o who_o evidence_n charge_v i_o depose_v that_o he_o have_v two_o several_a communication_n with_o i_o since_o the_o month_n of_o april_n 1678._o namely_o in_o july_n and_o august_n 1678._o whereas_o at_o the_o try●●_n of_o mr._n coleman_n he_o have_v express_o swear_v that_o after_o the_o month_n of_o april_n 1678_o he_o have_v never_o see_v i_o to_o his_o knowledge_n or_o remembrance_n iii_o that_o mr._n bedloe_n depose_v that_o as_o he_o and_o mr._n coleman_n be_v together_o walk_v in_o my_o chamber_n in_o the_o temple_n he_o see_v i_o enter_v several_a treasonable_a letter_n into_o a_o loo●_n in_o my_o study_n and_o that_o the_o say_a book_n be_v a_o great_a book_n lie_v upon_o the_o desk_n in_o my_o study_n whereas_o every_o person_n who_o know_v my_o say_a chamber_n and_o the_o situation_n of_o my_o study_n can_v but_o know_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o look_v out_o of_o my_o chamber_n into_o my_o study_n so_o as_o to_o see_v any_o one_o write_v there_o and_o that_o i_o never_o have_v at_o any_o time_n any_o desk_n in_o my_o study_n what_o pass_v far_o at_o my_o trial_n i_o forbear_v to_o mention_v for_o the_o reason_n before_o give_v but_o refer_v to_o such_o narrative_a of_o my_o trial_n as_o i_o hear_v be_v publish_v in_o print_n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_o make_v i_o thank_v the_o reporter_n for_o his_o justice_n if_o untrue_o i_o then_o beg_v of_o god_n to_o pardon_v the_o reporter_n injustice_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o do_v here_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o great_a god_n who_o be_v the_o god_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o searcher_n of_o all_o heart_n declare_v and_o protest_v 1._o that_o as_o to_o mr._n bedloe_n i_o do_v not_o know_v remember_v or_o believe_v that_o i_o ever_o see_v he_o or_o hear_v he_o speak_v before_o that_o time_n that_o he_o appear_v in_o the_o say_a court_n to_o give_v evidence_n against_o i_o at_o my_o say_a trial_n 2._o that_o i_o do_v never_o see_v or_o speak_v with_o mr._n oat_n at_o any_o time_n since_o the_o month_n of_o november_n 1677._o so_o that_o i_o can_v with_o great_a truth_n affirm_v and_o do_v affirm_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o all-knowing_a god_n that_o whatever_o be_v give_v in_o evidence_n against_o i_o by_o the_o say_v bedloe_n be_v utter_o false_a and_o untrue_a as_o likewise_o whatever_o be_v give_v against_o i_o in_o evidence_n by_o the_o say_a oat_n as_o speak_v by_o himself_o or_o by_o i_o in_o the_o month_n of_o april_n july_n and_o august_n 1678._o o●_n at_o any_o other_o time_n after_o the_o month_n of_o november_n 1677._o as_o also_o what_o be_v swear_v in_o evidence_n against_o i_o by_o the_o say_a oat_n at_o his_o first_o come_v to_o i_o in_o the_o month_n of_o november_n 1677._o which_o relate_v to_o my_o prejudice_n and_o which_o i_o can_v have_v prove_v to_o be_v false_a by_o a_o very_a good_a witness_n in_o case_n i_o can_v have_v foresee_v that_o mr._n oates_n will_v have_v have_v the_o confidence_n to_o have_v give_v any_o thing_n in_o evidence_n against_o i_o as_o pretend_v to_o have_v be_v speak_v by_o i_o at_o that_o time_n but_o mr._n oates_n at_o the_o trial_n of_o mr._n coleman_n give_v a_o clear_a evidence_n of_o his_o skill_n in_o this_o kind_n of_o fence_v and_o of_o his_o great_a care_n and_o cunning_a to_o prevent_v that_o no_o person_n who_o life_n he_o design_n to_o take_v away_o by_o his_o evidence_n shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o know_v what_o he_o intend_v to_o swear_v or_o consequent_o to_o produce_v any_o witness_n to_o discover_v or_o disprove_v his_o perjury_n for_o be_v then_o upon_o his_o oath_n and_o be_v interrogated_a what_o he_o have_v inform_v against_o mr_n coleman_n before_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o council_n at_o mr._n coleman_n examination_n there_o before_o he_o be_v commit_v to_o newgate_n mr._n oates_n
