this_o case_n if_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o he_o be_v try_v upon_o a_o panel_n that_o be_v undue_o make_v and_o return_v that_o will_v be_v of_o evil_a consequence_n one_o way_n or_o other_o and_o

he_o not_o see_v he_o because_o he_o be_v not_o there_o all_o the_o time_n he_o say_v sir_n john_n friend_n use_v to_o dine_v at_o his_o house_n and_o come_v to_o his_o house_n once_o a_o week_n and_o he_o have_v see_v some_o of_o the_o rest_n but_o they_o do_v not_o frequent_v his_o house_n as_o sir_n john_n friend_n do_v he_o say_v the_o company_n dine_v about_o 2_o a-clock_o and_o the_o last_o of_o they_o stay_v till_o about_o 8_o or_o 9_o and_o that_o the_o door_n be_v shut_v as_o be_v usual_a when_o company_n be_v in_o a_o room_n but_o no_o body_n be_v forbid_v to_o come_v there_o but_o to_o establish_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o evidence_n on_o the_o king_n part_n they_o do_v produce_v mr._n goodman_n and_o mr._n porter_n again_o mr._n goodman_n do_v acknowledge_v so_o far_o to_o be_v true_a that_o my_o lord_n of_o aylesbury_n go_v away_o first_o but_o say_v that_o himself_o be_v not_o whole_o a_o stranger_n to_o this_o house_n for_o he_o have_v dine_v there_o four_o or_o five_o time_n with_o sir_n john_n friend_n and_o particular_o one_o time_n he_o be_v sick_a and_o ask_v for_o some_o brandy_n the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n say_v he_o will_v help_v he_o to_o some_o of_o the_o best_a in_o england_n and_o mr._n goodman_n will_v have_v buy_v some_o of_o he_o but_o the_o master_n seem_v not_o to_o own_o that_o and_o say_v he_o do_v not_o remember_v any_o

my_o lord_n of_o aylesbury_n when_o he_o go_v away_o and_o go_v part_n of_o the_o way_n towards_o the_o stair_n with_o he_o and_o he_o do_v well_o remember_v it_o by_o this_o token_n that_o when_o mr._n porter_n be_v tell_v mr._n goodman_n be_v below_o he_o mention_v he_o in_o the_o company_n as_o a_o trusty_a man_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o conversation_n and_o then_o mr._n porter_n go_v and_o fetch_v it_o he_o up_o and_o mr._n goodman_n be_v there_o near_o two_o hour_n and_o they_o discourse_v all_o this_o matter_n in_o that_o time_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o prisoner_n and_o the_o rest_n and_o he_o say_v it_o be_v about_o six_o a-clock_o before_o my_o lord_n of_o aylesbury_n and_o my_o lord_n montgomery_n go_v away_o and_o then_o there_o be_v opportunity_n enough_o for_o this_o discourse_n and_o consult_v that_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o prisoner_n have_v offer_v another_o sort_n of_o evidence_n first_o the_o confidence_n of_o his_o own_o innocence_n that_o he_o be_v abroad_o three_o week_n after_o this_o conspiracy_n be_v discover_v and_o they_o have_v produce_v mr._n treganna_fw-la mr._n peachy_n and_o mr._n nichols_n who_o prove_v that_o he_o never_o abscond_v but_o be_v abroad_o and_o appear_v open_o for_o three_o week_n after_o till_o such_o time_n as_o he_o be_v take_v this_o the_o king_n counsel_n say_v be_v no_o proof_n that_o he_o be_v not_o guilty_a and_o their_o evidence_n untrue_a they_o say_v he_o may_v have_v a_o confidence_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o he_o be_v not_o charge_v with_o the_o assassination_n for_o at_o that_o time_n these_o witness_n speak_v of_o nothing_o be_v discover_v and_o public_a but_o the_o assassination_n for_o it_o be_v before_o sir_n john_n friend_n trial_n and_o then_o be_v the_o great_a discovery_n of_o the_o secret_a of_o the_o invasion_n then_o he_o show_v further_a as_o to_o his_o conversation_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o very_a sober_a life_n never_o be_v know_v to_o swear_v that_o he_o drink_v but_o little_a and_o be_v a_o godly_a man_n and_o often_o say_v his_o prayer_n as_o to_o that_o the_o king_n counsel_n on_o the_o other_o side_n tell_v you_o that_o have_v be_v pretend_v to_o by_o other_o people_n too_o and_o the_o question_n be_v not_o about_o religion_n but_o this_o fact_n that_o you_o be_v now_o to_o try_v whether_o he_o be_v so_o religious_a or_o no_o as_o he_o pretend_v or_o whether_o he_o be_v sincere_a in_o his_o devotion_n that_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o matter_n now_o but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o he_o have_v offend_v in_o this_o kind_a as_o he_o stand_v accuse_v they_o produce_v a_o gentleman_n one_o mr._n hammond_n and_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o very_a conscientious_a man_n and_o particular_o be_v a_o great_a lover_n of_o his_o country_n and_o he_o have_v often_o hear_v he_o declare_v a_o detestation_n of_o a_o invasion_n by_o a_o french_a force_n and_o wish_v success_n to_o the_o fleet_n but_o that_o which_o he_o remember_v chief_o be_v about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o discovery_n of_o this_o plot._n the_o king_n counsel_n answer_v to_o this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v use_v such_o kind_n of_o expression_n perhaps_o to_o cover_v his_o gild_n and_o in_o the_o reply_n to_o sir_n barth_n shower_n observation_n it_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o by_o mr._n solicitor_n what_o we_o all_o can_v but_o remember_v that_o the_o like_a evidence_n be_v give_v as_o to_o sir_n john_n friend_n that_o he_o do_v detest_v a_o invasion_n and_o be_v present_a at_o the_o common_a prayer_n when_o king_n william_n be_v pray_v for_o and_o declare_v against_o plot_n and_o that_o if_o they_o catch_v he_o in_o the_o corn_n they_o may_v put_v he_o in_o the_o pound_n these_o thing_n a_o man_n may_v say_v and_o it_o be_v the_o light_a evidence_n that_o can_v be_v give_v be_v discourse_n out_o of_o man_n own_o mouth_n who_o will_v never_o proclaim_v their_o own_o gild_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o weak_a defence_n that_o can_v be_v offer_v but_o gentleman_n you_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o other_o evidence_n that_o have_v be_v produce_v by_o the_o prisoner_n give_v by_o several_a witness_n and_o who_o be_v upon_o their_o oath_n now_o as_o well_o as_o the_o king_n witness_n and_o his_o counsel_n say_v their_o witness_n but_o particular_o the_o three_o upon_o who_o they_o chief_o rely_v have_v no_o objection_n make_v out_o against_o they_o and_o no_o man_n testimony_n ought_v to_o be_v presume_v to_o be_v false_a and_o it_o must_v be_v take_v notice_n of_o that_o they_o can_v speak_v only_o according_a to_o their_o belief_n ground_v on_o their_o observation_n and_o memory_n that_o they_o do_v not_o so_o far_o as_o they_o observe_v or_o remember_v see_v mr._n goodman_n there_o as_o it_o be_v most_o probable_a they_o shall_v if_o he_o have_v be_v but_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v overlook_v or_o forget_v the_o rather_o for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o of_o the_o company_n but_o in_o and_o out_o up_o and_o down_o and_o mr._n goodman_n be_v not_o there_o at_o dinner_n when_o their_o attendance_n be_v fix_v and_o constant_a it_o ought_v to_o be_v consider_v also_o that_o here_o be_v several_a circumstance_n some_o of_o which_o seem_v very_o pregnant_a it_o be_v agree_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o the_o prisoner_n dine_v there_o with_o those_o other_o seven_o person_n concern_v four_o of_o who_o we_o must_v conclude_v nothing_o but_o concern_v three_o of_o they_o we_o in_o this_o court_n may_v take_v notice_n they_o be_v attaint_v of_o high_a treason_n and_o so_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o prisoner_n be_v for_o a_o long_a time_n a_o companion_n of_o three_o traitor_n and_o have_v a_o conversation_n with_o they_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o have_v any_o occasion_n to_o be_v there_o nor_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o company_n concern_v my_o lord_n of_o aylesbury_n indeed_o it_o be_v say_v he_o propose_v to_o treat_v about_o a_o hogshead_n of_o white_a wine_n but_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v casual_a and_o not_o the_o end_n of_o his_o come_n and_o dine_a with_o this_o company_n there_o but_o be_v that_o how_o it_o will_v that_o relate_v to_o his_o lordship_n alone_o but_o for_o the_o other_o i_o do_v not_o find_v they_o do_v pretend_v any_o occasion_n of_o meet_v there_o and_o therefore_o it_o leave_v it_o the_o more_o suspicious_a and_o it_o be_v the_o more_o so_o because_o it_o be_v manage_v so_o private_o and_o cautelous_o they_o be_v not_o attend_v according_a to_o their_o quality_n the_o lord_n go_v away_o together_o in_o a_o
