be_v rank_a treason_n as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v to_o affirm_v the_o king_n have_v no_o more_o right_o to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n than_o i_o have_v which_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o jesuit_n of_o his_o majesty_n if_o once_o excommunicate_v by_o the_o pope_n be_v detestable_a treason_n and_o two_o man_n at_o some_o distance_n not_o well_o hear_v or_o remember_v or_o malicious_o design_v against_o his_o life_n shall_v swear_v that_o he_o say_v the_o king_n have_v no_o more_o right_o to_o the_o crown_n than_o he_o have_v now_o that_o the_o man_n do_v utter_v these_o very_a word_n be_v true_a but_o if_o you_o ask_v the_o evidence_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o coloquium_fw-la they_o shall_v tell_v you_o there_o be_v much_o more_o discourse_n but_o they_o can_v remember_v it_o what_o satisfaction_n be_v this_o to_o a_o jury_n or_o will_v it_o not_o be_v hard_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v put_v to_o hold_v up_o his_o hand_n at_o the_o bar_n under_o the_o frightful_a charge_n of_o treason_n in_o this_o case_n or_o if_o a_o minister_n in_o his_o sermon_n shall_v recite_v that_o of_o the_o psalm_n the_o fool_n have_v say_v in_o his_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o god_n jesuited_a evidence_n now_o may_v come_v and_o charge_v he_o with_o blasphemy_n and_o swear_v that_o he_o say_v there_o be_v no_o god_n and_o ask_v they_o what_o expression_n beside_o he_o use_v may_v excuse_v themselves_o and_o say_v it_o be_v a_o great_a while_n a_o go_v we_o can_v remember_v a_o whole_a sermon_n but_o this_o we_o all_o positive_o swear-he_a say_v there_o be_v not_o god_n the_o inquiry_n of_o a_o grand-jury_n shall_v be_v suitable_a to_o their_o title_n a_o grand_a inquiry_n else_o instead_o of_o serve_v their_o country_n and_o present_v real_a crime_n they_o may_v oppress_v the_o innocent_a as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o samuel_n wright_n and_o john_n good_a the_o very_a last_o session_n good_a indict_v wright_n for_o treasonable_a word_n and_o swear_v the_o word_n positive_o but_o after_o a_o grand_a inquiry_n the_o grand-jury_n find_v that_o wright_n only_o speak_v the_o word_n as_o of_o other_o thus_o they_o say_v so_o and_o so_o and_o conclude_v with_o this_o they_o be_v rogue_n for_o say_v it_o and_o also_o good_a at_o last_o confess_v that_o wright_n be_v his_o master_n and_o correct_v he_o for_o misdemeanour_n and_o then_o to_o be_v revenge_v he_o come_v and_o swear_v against_o he_o which_o he_o confess_v he_o be_v instigate_v to_o by_o one_o powel_n so_o the_o grand-jury_n find_v it_o to_o be_v but_o malice_n return_v the_o bill_n ignoramus_n whereas_o if_o they_o have_v not_o examine_v he_o strict_o they_o have_v never_o discover_v the_o intrigue_n and_o the_o master_n have_v causeless_o be_v bring_v to_o great_a charge_n ignominy_n and_o hazard_n prej._n well_o still_o i_o say_v juries_n ought_v to_o go_v according_a to_o evidence_n ind._n what_o be_v or_o be_v not_o sufficient_a evidence_n to_o sway_v with_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o jury_n they_o themselves_o be_v the_o only_a judge_n prej._n you_o mighty_o magnify_v juries_n i_o will_v warrant_v you_o will_v have_v they_o sit_v with_o their_o hat_n on_o indiff_n true_o since_o they_o be_v a_o necessary_a part_n of_o every_o court_n and_o have_v a_o power_n vest_v in_o they_o by_o law_n of_o determine_v the_o life_n and_o estate_n of_o their_o fellow_n subject_n i_o know_v not_o why_o they_o shall_v sit_v creep_v with_o cap_n in_o hand_n nay_o i_o conceive_v when_o grand-juries_n be_v force_v as_o of_o late_a for_o i_o know_v no_o ancient_a precedent_n for_o it_o to_o hear_v and_o examine_v evidence_n in_o court_n if_o they_o shall_v put_v on_o their_o hat_n the_o court_n can_v by_o law_n fine_a they_o for_o by_o immemorial_n custom_n they_o have_v take_v such_o examination_n sit_v with_o their_o hat_n on_o which_o conciliate_v a_o respect_n to_o they_o from_o the_o witness_n whereas_o if_o they_o sit_v in_o a_o crowd_n truckle_v like_o schoolboy_n the_o witness_n will_v not_o regard_v to_o answer_v their_o question_n or_o discover_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o reason_n as_o i_o conceive_v why_o the_o law_n provide_v that_o grand-juries_n shall_v take_v examination_n in_o private_a be_v on_o purpose_n that_o man_n or_o their_o crime_n may_v not_o be_v expose_v before_o it_o appear_v to_o a_o grand_a jury_n that_o the_o matter_n ought_v to_o be_v public_o try_v whereas_o when_o they_o be_v compel_v to_o take_v it_o in_o public_a it_o be_v a_o kind_a of_o arraign_v a_o man_n before_o the_o bill_n be_v find_v against_o he_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o for_o the_o court_n to_o hear_v the_o evidence_n give_v to_o the_o grand-jury_n the_o jury_n be_v upon_o their_o oath_n and_o aught_o to_o follow_v the_o dictate_v of_o their_o own_o belief_n and_o understanding_n the_o court_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v to_o meddle_v or_o interrupt_v for_o they_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o verdict_n not_o by_o the_o evidence_n prej._n well_o but_o if_o the_o jury_n go_v contrary_a to_o evidence_n can_v the_o court_n punish_v they_o indiff_n not_o at_o all_o the_o law_n have_v provide_v no_o punishment_n and_o very_o reasonable_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a the_o court_n can_v know_v that_o a_o jury_n go_v contrary_a to_o evidence_n but_o to_o satisfy_v you_o full_o as_o to_o the_o law_n in_o this_o matter_n i_o shall_v here_o recite_v a_o adjudge_v case_n that_o of_o bushel_n in_o the_o two_o and_o twenty_o year_n of_o his_o majesty_n report_v by_o the_o learned_a sir_n john_n vaughan_n who_o book_n be_v

he_o use_v these_o that_o follow_v which_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o in_o his_o own_o word_n fol._n 140._o one_o fault_n in_o the_o retorn_a be_v that_o the_o juror_n be_v not_o say_v to_o have_v

how_o manifest_a soever_o the_o evidence_n be_v if_o it_o be_v not_o manifest_v to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o believe_v it_o such_o it_o be_v not_o a_o fineable_a fault_n nor_o deserve_a imprisonment_n upon_o which_o difference_n the_o law_n of_o punish_v juror_n for_o false_a verdict_n principal_o depend_v and_o fol._n 141._o i_o will_v know_v whether_o any_o thing_n be_v more_o
