the_o court_n have_v say_v thus_o much_o against_o this_o person_n mr._n francis_n smith_n i_o must_v say_v that_o if_o the_o way_n of_o common_a report_n be_v evidence_n enough_o to_o convict_v a_o man_n he_o will_v be_v convict_v without_o any_o more_o ado_n but_o such_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o our_o law_n that_o they_o expect_v testimony_n beside_o common_a fame_n i_o will_v rather_o a_o great_a deal_n it_o may_v be_v a_o caution_n to_o mr._n smith_n if_o there_o have_v not_o be_v many_o before_o and_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v convict_v and_o the_o evidence_n not_o plain_a in_o proof_n against_o he_o well_o he_o print_v this_o book_n in_o the_o name_n of_o another_o person_n one_o mrs._n brewster_n he_o sell_v several_a of_o they_o in_o quire_n to_o several_a people_n and_o mrs._n brewster_n question_v wherefore_o he_o shall_v put_v her_o name_n to_o this_o book_n true_o he_o say_v he_o intend_v no_o harm_n to_o she_o for_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o save_v her_o harmless_a and_o this_o we_o will_v prove_v to_o you_o and_o likewise_o that_o several_a book_n have_v be_v take_v in_o his_o shop_n and_o he_o justify_v himself_o in_o what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o his_o further_a resolution_n to_o expose_v they_o still_o to_o sale_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v prove_v this_o to_o you_o there_o will_v be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o justice_n if_o in_o case_n that_o you_o who_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n of_o bring_v man_n to_o justice_n will_v not_o contribute_v to_o have_v justice_n execute_v where_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v none_o can_v be_v legal_o punish_v unless_o they_o be_v legal_o convict_v and_o i_o doubt_v not_o your_o honesty_n and_o loyalty_n but_o that_o you_o will_v do_v your_o part_n by_o conviction_n and_o by_o justice_n too_o against_o all_o libeler_n i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v law_n enough_o and_o every_o honest_a man_n will_v endeavour_v to_o have_v it_o put_v in_o execution_n against_o they_o as_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o lie_v in_o his_o way_n i_o hope_v the_o generality_n of_o those_o that_o be_v here_o do_v come_v to_o show_v a_o abhorrency_n against_o this_o person_n inform_v against_o and_o not_o to_o give_v any_o countenance_n to_o such_o base_a action_n mr._n williams_n council_n for_o the_o defendant_n my_o lord_n the_o libel_n be_v sufficient_o infamous_a we_o must_v needs_o own_o and_o i_o do_v not_o come_v to_o justify_v the_o thing_n neither_o mr._n smith_n my_o client_n nor_o any_o body_n else_o that_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o it_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o

we_o say_v be_v this_o that_o he_o do_v not_o order_v this_o to_o be_v print_v as_o it_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o information_n but_o i_o think_v we_o may_v admit_v mr._n fettiplace_v say_v who_o be_v
