be_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o believe_v what_o goodwife_n pinchin_n say_v be_v speak_v in_o relation_n to_o what_o she_o have_v say_v and_o testify_v under_o her_o hand_n shall_v be_v in_o any_o

she_o have_v full_o declare_v what_o she_o can_v and_o will_v swear_v the_o relation_n of_o what_o she_o will_v swear_v give_v under_o her_o hand_n cause_v i_o to_o say_v as_o himself_o relate_v it_o pag._n 89._o that_o i_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o believe_v what_o she_o testify_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o only_o improbable_a but_o utter_o impossible_a that_o my_o word_n shall_v be_v a_o foregoing_a cause_n and_o invitation_n to_o her_o oath_n but_o that_o my_o say_n of_o one_o who_o i_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o christian_a woman_n of_o great-fidelity_n that_o if_o she_o will_v swear_v i_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o believe_v she_o shall_v make_v i_o a_o encourager_n a_o abetter_n and_o accessary_a to_o her_o false_a oath_n in_o case_n she_o shall_v swear_v false_o and_o much_o more_o to_o the_o perjury_n of_o other_o as_o mr._n bushnel_n do_v here_o in_o a_o calumniate_a injurious_a way_n charge_v i_o to_o be_v i_o be_o confident_a will_v seem_v rational_a to_o no_o intelligent_a person_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o this_o high_a and_o groundless_a calumny_n be_v build_v upon_o such_o a_o false_a and_o sandy_a foundation_n i_o do_v not_o fear_v but_o it_o will_v fall_v of_o itself_o without_o any_o derogation_n from_o my_o good_a name_n 97._o now_o i_o must_v tell_v the_o reader_n that_o not_o long_o before_o this_o she_o viz._n goodwife_n pinchin_n have_v some_o discourse_n with_o several_a person_n ever_o acquit_v i_o say_v that_o she_o believe_v that_o i_o be_v wrong_v or_o to_o that_o purpose_n but_o now_o she_o change_v her_o note_n and_o say_v she_o can_v judge_v doubtless_o her_o own_o son_n william_n or_o the_o doctor_n for_o i_o have_v hear_v that_o he_o be_v at_o her_o house_n betwixt_o april_n 28._o and_o june_n 4._o have_v

relate_v of_o goodwife_n pinchin●_n former_a word_n it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v some_o report_n then_o go_v of_o what_o goodwife_n pinchin_n testify_v that_o jane_n hendy_n speak_v about_o mr._n bushnel_n carriage_n towards_o she_o but_o than_o goodwife_n pinchin_n as_o he_o relate_v it_o believe_v he_o be_v wrong_v in_o those_o report_n i_o leave_v this_o whole_o as_o not_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o whereas_o mr._n bushnel_n lay_v it_o down_o as_o a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o either_o william_n pinchin_n or_o i_o and_o leave_v it_o doubtful_a whether_o he_o or_o i_o instruct_v goodwife_n pinchin_n and_o teach_v she_o upon_o her_o oath_n to_o fall_v short_a of_o what_o she_o know_v and_o have_v former_o speak_v i_o deny_v and_o defy_v this_o charge_n as_o most_o untrue_a and_o injurious_a if_o mr._n bushnel_n can_v make_v the_o least_o proof_n or_o shadow_n of_o proof_n of_o it_o i_o require_v he_o to_o do_v it_o as_o he_o tender_v the_o be_v free_a from_o the_o

speak_v with_o she_o as_o a_o ancient_a christian_a friend_n but_o that_o i_o instruct_v she_o or_o teach_v she_o to_o swear_v against_o her_o knowledge_n be_v a_o spiteful_a and_o most_o untrue_a insinuation_n which_o must_v be_v answer_v for_o at_o the_o appearance_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n 106._o mr._n bushnel_n write_v that_o it_o be_v testify_v against_o one_o william_n cottle_n who_o be_v a_o witness_n against_o he_o among_o other_o thing_n that_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o your_o parson_n be_v greedy_a and_o that_o he_o will_v trust_v none_o of_o they_o all_o no_o not_o mr._n chamber_n who_o have_v leave_v claverton_n and_o be_v go_v to_o pewsey_n and_o when_o cottle_n be_v still_o upon_o his_o oath_n deny_v these_o word_n to_o be_v speak_v by_o he_o after_o they_o be_v testify_v and_o swear_v to_o his_o face_n he_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v speak_v they_o add_v further_o why_o what_o if_o i_o do_v say_v so_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v bare_o consider_v in_o and_o of_o itself_o it_o matter_v not_o if_o he_o have_v say_v so_o for_o it_o be_v true_a as_o he_o say_v mr._n chamber_n have_v leave_v claverton_n nor_o be_v this_o the_o first_o time_n he_o have_v leave_v it_o and_o be_v go_v to_o pewsey_n and_o this_o to_o his_o great_a advantage_n too_o for_o the_o report_n go_v that_o he_o be_v three_o hundred_o pound_n a_o year_n gainer_n by_o this_o remove_n answ_n that_o i_o leave_v claverton_n before_o i_o come_v to_o pewsey_n and_o afterwards_o come_v to_o pewsey_n with_o a_o considerable_a advantage_n as_o to_o outward_a state_n i_o do_v free_o acknowledge_v nor_o be_v i_o ever_o offend_v with_o any_o who_o before_o they_o have_v hear_v what_o account_n i_o can_v give_v of_o my_o removal_n have_v speak_v of_o it_o as_o import_v some_o earthly-mindedness_n in_o i_o but_o not_o to_o trouble_v the_o world_n with_o tedious_a relation_n about_o personal_a business_n if_o mr._n bushnel_n be_v please_v to_o afford_v i_o a_o private_a occasion_n as_o divers_a christian_a friend_n have_v do_v to_o discover_v to_o he_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o my_o removal_n from_o claverton_n and_o come_v to_o pewsey_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o i_o shall_v so_o far_o satisfy_v he_o as_o to_o cause_v he_o to_o desist_v from_o make_v this_o a_o matter_n of_o public_a reproach_n and_o defamation_n against_o i_o 109._o it_o be_v not_o amiss_o to_o tell_v thou_o that_o john_n trever_v sit_v by_o during_o this_o debate_n and_o hear_v and_o note_v all_o the_o passage_n observe_v it_o and_o so_o do_v other_o beside_o and_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v have_v report_v it_o elsewhere_o with_o some_o complacency_n that_o mr._n chamber_n do_v hang_v down_o his_o head_n the_o while_n now_o we_o know_v that_o hang_v down_o of_o the_o head_n do_v usual_o signify_v that_o there_o be_v shame_n and_o sorrow_n in_o the_o heart_n pudet_fw-la haec_fw-la opprobria_fw-la nobis_fw-la et_fw-la dici_fw-la potuisse_fw-la et_fw-la

expose_v conceive_v against_o he_o who_o he_o look_v on_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o exposal_n i_o have_v some_o conjecture_n that_o this_o wrought_v after_o the_o latter_a and_o worse_a way_n with_o dr._n chamber_n and_o that_o he_o do_v for_o this_o store_n up_o a_o good_a turn_n for_o i_o against_o he_o have_v a_o opportunity_n of_o which_o the_o reader_n shall_v have_v some_o account_n in_o due_a time_n and_o place_n answ_n it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o mr._n bushnel_n be_v present_a all_o the_o time_n of_o this_o debate_n and_o be_v a_o diligent_a observer_n of_o all_o my_o word_n and_o carriage_n as_o appear_v throughout_o his_o narrative_a do_v not_o himself_o take_v notice_n of_o my_o hang_n down_o my_o head_n if_o it_o be_v so_o considerable_a as_o he_o will_v have_v the_o world_n believe_v it_o be_v from_o the_o testimony_n of_o trever_v and_o other_o unn_n med_o witness_n but_o to_o speak_v this_o once_o for_o all_o to_o cottle_n word_n concerning_o i_o though_o mr._n bushnel_n make_v often_o use_v of_o they_o for_o his_o purpose_n i_o bless_v the_o lord_n i_o have_v so_o much_o quiet_a in_o my_o own_o heart_n as_o concerning_o my_o removal_n from_o

my_o head_n when_o cottle_n word_n be_v prove_v upon_o he_o by_o oath_n i_o know_v not_o this_o i_o be_o most_o assure_v of_o that_o it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o any_o shame_n which_o surprise_v i_o upon_o the_o hear_n of_o cottle_n word_n in_o relation_n to_o myself_o i_o be_v so_o little_o affect_v with_o the_o word_n that_o though_o upon_o mr._n bushnel_n relation_n i_o do_v believe_v that_o
