the_o jury_n come_v to_o i_o as_o i_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o room_n and_o ask_v i_o if_o i_o be_v that_o praed_n that_o print_v the_o variety_n of_o villainy_n against_o mr._n william_n war_n i_o

in_o question_n and_o now_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o i_o have_v be_v no_o more_o a_o malicious_a or_o self-intressed_a evidence_n against_o mr._n anselm_n in_o this_o case_n than_o mr._n anselm_n be_v against_o himself_o when_o he_o be_v a_o evidence_n both_o for_o i_o and_o against_o i_o in_o my_o case_n contra_n war_n and_o gate_n for_o when_o he_o be_v examine_v upon_o oath_n and_o

above_o 1500_o l._n against_o his_o interest_n for_o i_o have_v draw_v from_o zant_n for_o account_n of_o the_o say_a war_n and_o gate_n 6000_o dollar_n by_o a_o letter_n of_o exchange_n on_o mr._n

i_o be_v worth_a in_o the_o world_n he_o nor_o his_o partner_n never_o send_v i_o the_o say_a sum_n nor_o any_o part_n thereof_o so_o that_o mr._n anselm_n as_o well_o as_o mr._n williams_n by_o the_o

the_o truth_n at_o such_o a_o time_n especial_o any_o thing_n like_o treason_n but_o defamation_n be_v incident_a to_o all_o instance_n of_o duty_n and_o i_o think_v it_o a_o very_a seasonable_a opportunity_n to_o lay_v out_o my_o reputation_n whatever_o come_v in_o thereby_o yet_o mr._n anselm_n be_v so_o kind_a in_o his_o letter_n without_o date_n to_o captain_n wall_n as_o to_z commend_v he_o for_o give_v information_n to_o the_o admiral_n for_o it_o be_v what_o a_o honest_a man_n ought_v to_o do_v and_o true_o such_o a_o honest_a act_n if_o i_o may_v judge_v by_o the_o rough_a
