charity_n in_o say_v of_o a_o woman_n who_o i_o have_v for_o many_o year_n often_o converse_v with_o and_o take_v to_o be_v a_o stay_v christian_a woman_n that_o i_o be_v bind_v and_o bind_v in_o

that_o william_n pinchin_n have_v that_o power_n over_o his_o mother_n that_o she_o dare_v not_o but_o to_o say_v and_o to_o do_v as_o her_o son_n will_v have_v she_o i_o believe_v so_o well_o know_v that_o the_o doctor_n himself_o can_v not_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a of_o it_o answ_n to_o believe_v that_o i_o will_v say_v that_o i_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o believe_v a_o woman_n of_o who_o i_o know_v that_o her_o son_n have_v power_n over_o she_o to_o make_v she_o say_v or_o do_v what_o he_o please_v i_o take_v it_o do_v savour_n of_o little_a charity_n in_o mr._n bushnel_n i_o hope_v i_o dare_v not_o whatever_o mr._n bushnel_n believe_v of_o i_o upon_o any_o term_n have_v say_v that_o i_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o believe_v goodwife_n pinchin_n if_o i_o have_v know_v or_o in_o the_o least_o suspect_v she_o to_o have_v be_v so_o little_a a_o christian_a as_o to_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o her_o son_n to_o make_v she_o say_v and_o do_v what_o he_o please_v i_o do_v full_o believe_v it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o she_o when_o i_o show_v my_o belief_n of_o what_o she_o speak_v 91._o and_o why_o may_v not_o the_o dr._n be_v mistake_v in_o she_o viz._n goodwife_n pinchin_n as_o well_o as_o he_o have_v be_v in_o many_o other_o woman_n i_o mean_v for_o there_o his_o acquaintance_n do_v especial_o lie_v and_o these_o many_o of_o they_o such_o who_o have_v the_o hand_n over_o their_o husband_n who_o have_v follow_v he_o as_o far_o and_o as_o oft_o as_o joan_n pinchin_n and_o yet_o be_v now_o fall_v off_o both_o from_o his_o doctrine_n and_o

man_n in_o his_o bosom_n no_o doubt_v therefore_o i_o may_v be_v deceive_v in_o goodwife_n pinchin_n but_o i_o be_v so_o far_o persuade_v of_o her_o christianity_n at_o that_o time_n when_o i_o speak_v that_o i_o have_v good_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o she_o will_v not_o wilful_o speak_v and_o swear_v against_o she_o own_o knowledge_n and_o i_o be_o still_o bind_v to_o believe_v as_o much_o of_o she_o until_o i_o see_v the_o contrary_n prove_v upon_o she_o by_o some_o who_o afford_v her_o liberty_n to_o answer_v for_o herself_o that_o my_o acquaintance_n do_v especial_o lie_v

of_o so_o much_o reve●ence_n and_o learning_n in_o other_o character_n fear_v belike_o that_o his_o reader_n will_v be_v so_o thick-sent_v as_o not_o to_o smell_v the_o sweetness_n of_o his_o tart_a

deal_v suitable_a to_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n let_v other_o judge_v but_o as_o for_o what_o he_o publish_v as_o a_o evidence_n of_o want_n of_o chari●y_n in_o i_o towards_o jane_n hendy_n i_o be_o confident_a all_o the_o logic_n in_o aristotle_n organon_n will_v never_o join_v his_o premise_n and_o conclusion_n together_o for_o what_o jane_n hendy_n swear_v and_o goodwife_n pinchin_n say_v and_o confirm_v by_o oath_n may_v be_v all_o true_a and_o no_o contradiction_n be_v find_v between_o their_o two_o oath_n for_o jane_n hendy_n swear_v cautelous_o that_o she_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o she_o ever_o speak_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n to_o joan_n pinchin_n which_o joan_n pinchin_n swear_v she_o do_v speak_v to_o she_o and_o both_o oath_n may_v be_v true_a for_o it_o may_v possible_o be_v true_a that_o jane_n hendy_n do_v speak_v something_o to_o joan_n pinchin_n which_o she_o do_v not_o at_o that_o present_a remember_v so_o that_o i_o may_v say_v that_o i_o be_v in_o conscience_n bind_v to_o believe_v goodwife_n pinchin_n and_o yet_o not_o say_v upon_o the_o matter_n that_o jane_n hendy_n have_v twice_o for_o swear_v herself_o and_o therefore_o what_o i_o say_v do_v not_o at_o all_o amount_v to_o what_o mr._n bushnel_n collect_v from_o my_o word_n and_o make_v a_o horrible_a outcry_n upon_o pag._n 95._o that_o i_o do_v pronounce_v one_o of_o they_o infallible_a and_o the_o other_o perjure_a they_o do_v both_o swear_v according_a to_o truth_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v i_o be_o sure_a they_o may_v do_v so_o and_o my_o charity_n incline_v i_o to_o think_v that_o they_o do_v so_o for_o i_o know_v no_o sufficient_a ground_n why_o mr._n bushnel_n shall_v peremptory_o affirm_v that_o the_o testimony_n of_o these_o two_o woman_n be_v contradictory_a and_o that_o one_o or_o other_o of_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v for_o swear_v 96._o and_o now_o i_o shall_v add_v further_o that_o i_o believe_v that_o this_o and_o many_o other_o false_a oath_n have_v never_o be_v take_v have_v not_o the_o doctor_n by_o those_o word_n i_o be_o bind_v in_o conscience_n hint_v unto_o they_o a_o kind_n of_o faculty_n or_o dispensation_n of_o swear_v and_o that_o now_o they_o may_v be_v bold_a answ_n i_o refer_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o rational_a christian_n to_o determine_v whether_o my_o say_n of_o goodwife_n pinchin_n that_o i_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o believe_v what_o she_o say_v upon_o upon_o that_o persuasion_n which_o i_o have_v of_o she_o that_o she_o be_v a_o conscientious_a christian_n do_v hint_n a_o dispensation_n to_o she_o and_o much_o more_o to_o any_o other_o who_o i_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o to_o swear_v false_o i_o be_o confident_a mr._n bushnel_n will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o show_v any_o rational_a ground_n of_o his_o belief_n that_o my_o say_n that_o i_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v goodwife_n pinchin_n do_v contain_v in_o it_o a_o encouragement_n or_o dispensation_n for_o she_o or_o any_o other_o to_o swear_v false_o 96._o and_o one_o thing_n further_o this_o oath_n be_v false_a as_o i_o be_o confident_a it_o be_v and_o as_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a this_o oath_n be_v cause_v by_o such_o a_o invitation_n i_o be_o bind_v in_o conscience_n if_o a_o encourager_n or_o a_o abetter_v or_o a_o persuader_n be_v a_o accessary_a i_o can_v acquit_v some_o body_n the_o dr._n may_v guess_v who_o i_o mean_v from_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o and_o many_o follow_a perjury_n answ_n here_o mr._n bushnel_n be_v peremptory_o confident_a that_o goodwife_n pinchins_n oath_n be_v false_a and_o that_o the_o perjury_n lie_v with_o she_o as_o before_o he_o express_v himself_o have_v i_o say_v so_o much_o of_o jane_n hendy_n i_o shall_v have_v hear_v of_o want_n of_o charity_n on_o both_o ear_n but_o i_o shall_v leave_v mr._n bushnel_n to_o consider_v whether_o there_o be_v not_o some_o want_n of_o charity_n in_o this_o his_o confidence_n but_o that_o my_o say_n i_o
