prison_n captain_n blair_n have_v upon_o his_o oath_n declare_v that_o he_o do_v not_o go_v so_o far_o as_o to_o say_v he_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o his_o conscience_n but_o only_o courtney_n bid_v he_o take_v care_n what_o he_o swear_v and_o press_v he_o no_o further_o he_o pretend_v he_o come_v casual_o into_o blair_n chamber_n but_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o intrude_v into_o his_o room_n for_o it_o be_v swear_v by_o the_o jailor_n and_o blair_n himself_o that_o he_o have_v give_v direction_n none_o shall_v come_v into_o his_o room_n but_o his_o wife_n so_o that_o do_v not_o discountenance_v the_o evidence_n of_o blair_n at_o all_o and_o if_o you_o do_v believe_v what_o our_o witness_n have_v say_v captain_n porter_n and_o captain_n blair_n than_o sir_n john_n friend_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o the_o crime_n that_o be_v charge_v upon_o he_o in_o this_o indictment_n and_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v be_v so_o just_a to_o your_o prince_n to_o your_o country_n and_o to_o yourselves_o as_o to_o find_v he_o guilty_a according_o mr._n cowper_n if_o your_o lordship_n please_v to_o spare_v i_o a_o word_n on_o the_o same_o side_n my_o lord_n i_o do_v not_o trouble_v your_o lordship_n out_o of_o a_o apprehension_n that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n necessary_a to_o be_v say_v to_o the_o court_n in_o this_o matter_n or_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o jury_n but_o if_o possible_a that_o we_o may_v convince_v the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n that_o he_o have_v have_v no_o hard_a measure_n in_o this_o prosecution_n meet_v to_o he_o but_o that_o he_o be_v prove_v guilty_a of_o the_o crime_n of_o which_o he_o stand_v accuse_v and_o that_o real_o there_o be_v no_o weight_n at_o all_o in_o the_o defence_n which_o he_o have_v make_v the_o first_o part_n of_o it_o go_v to_o discredit_v one_o of_o our_o evidence_n captain_n blair_n from_o some_o discourse_n that_o he_o will_v object_v to_o have_v pass_v between_o he_o and_o the_o person_n here_o produce_v in_o the_o prison_n of_o the_o gatehouse_n and_o the_o first_o part_n of_o that_o discourse_n be_v upon_o blair_n first_o come_n into_o the_o prison_n and_o as_o to_o that_o time_n the_o objection_n amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o captain_n blair_n will_v not_o confess_v when_o he_o be_v pump_v by_o a_o fellow_n prisoner_n that_o he_o be_v engage_v in_o so_o horrid_a a_o design_n what_o weight_n there_o be_v in_o such_o a_o objection_n true_o i_o can_v see_v but_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o any_o man_n judgement_n to_o consider_v that_o a_o man_n when_o he_o be_v fresh_o take_v upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n do_v not_o immediate_o confess_v his_o guilt_n to_o every_o body_n that_o meet_v he_o nay_o to_o person_n that_o will_v not_o have_v like_v he_o for_o make_v such_o a_o confession_n but_o perhaps_o will_v have_v destroy_v he_o in_o prison_n for_o so_o do_v the_o other_o discourse_n be_v upon_o friday_n the_o next_o day_n i_o think_v before_o captain_n blair_n go_v to_o hick_n shall_n to_o his_o examination_n and_o then_o he_o intrude_v himself_o into_o blair_n chamber_n when_o he_o lie_v very_o ill_o upon_o the_o bed_n and_o accost_v he_o with_o a_o cup_n of_o brandy_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o with_o good_a advice_n at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o he_o shall_v take_v great_a care_n in_o what_o he_o shall_v say_v at_o hick's-hall_n and_o the_o like_a and_o then_o captain_n blair_n it_o seem_v do_v express_v some_o reluctancy_n in_o the_o thing_n he_o be_v go_v about_o as_o if_o it_o be_v against_o his_o mind_n and_o inclination_n if_o that_o be_v true_a though_o captain_n blair_n deny_v it_o positive_o upon_o his_o oath_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o observe_v for_o the_o prisoner_n captain_n blair_n do_v express_v here_o when_o he_o first_o come_v into_o court_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v natural_a since_o the_o prisoner_n have_v be_v his_o friend_n and_o intimate_v and_o he_o be_v go_v to_o depose_v that_o against_o he_o which_o be_v likely_a to_o prove_v fatal_a to_o he_o my_o lord_n as_o to_o another_o part_n of_o his_o defence_n it_o consist_v chief_o in_o this_o the_o evidence_n bring_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o king_n witness_n be_v repute_v roman_n catholic_n and_o that_o the_o prisoner_n be_v a_o repute_a protestant_a of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n if_o that_o be_v true_a too_o all_o that_o can_v be_v rational_o and_o fair_o collect_v from_o thence_o be_v this_o that_o they_o the_o witness_n i_o mean_v when_o they_o engage_v in_o such_o a_o black_a and_o execrable_a design_n may_v be_v very_o good_a papist_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o will_v be_v agree_v that_o the_o prisoner_n in_o so_o do_v be_v a_o very_a bad_a protestant_n my_o lord_n he_o object_n to_o their_o evidence_n this_o likewise_o that_o if_o they_o be_v papist_n they_o may_v be_v absolve_v by_o the_o pope_n or_o their_o priest_n though_o they_o shall_v swear_v false_o possible_o that_o may_v be_v so_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v i_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o very_o well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o principle_n of_o that_o religion_n but_o this_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o every_o one_o who_o have_v hear_v what_o have_v be_v swear_v by_o they_o will_v think_v it_o so_o great_a a_o disservice_n to_o the_o popish_a cause_n and_o interest_n that_o it_o will_v be_v one_o of_o the_o last_o thing_n their_o priest_n will_v ever_o absolve_v they_o of_o my_o lord_n there_o be_v another_o matter_n the_o prisoner_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o insist_v upon_o he_o have_v bring_v two_o or_o three_o clergyman_n to_o depose_v that_o whenever_o he_o discourse_v with_o they_o it_o seem_v at_o all_o time_n he_o be_v talk_v about_o be_v in_o a_o plot_n and_o very_o ready_o tell_v his_o resolution_n not_o to_o be_v in_o any_o it_o seem_v it_o still_o swim_v uppermost_o his_o profession_n be_v make_v very_o causeless_o for_o they_o all_o say_v nothing_o introduce_v they_o but_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a motion_n he_o be_v always_o declare_v he_o be_v not_o then_o in_o a_o plot_n nor_o ever_o will_v be_v i_o have_v hear_v that_o one_o way_n weak_a man_n and_o child_n often_o discover_v their_o knowledge_n of_o a_o secret_a entrust_v to_o they_o be_v by_o a_o repeat_v and_o unnecessary_a declare_v that_o they_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o matter_n my_o lord_n in_o the_o next_o place_n for_o his_o defence_n he_o just_o offer_v a_o point_n of_o law_n but_o the_o court_n so_o well_o satisfy_v he_o in_o that_o that_o i_o think_v he_o wave_v it_o he_o allege_v that_o a_o bare_a conspiracy_n to_o levy_v war_n be_v not_o treason_n and_o the_o court_n do_v he_o right_o in_o declare_v as_o god_n forbid_v but_o they_o shall_v that_o it_o be_v not_o treason_n but_o i_o desire_v the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o jury_n will_v consider_v that_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n be_v not_o accuse_v bare_o of_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o levy_v war_n but_o you_o be_v tell_v to_o what_o end_n that_o war_n be_v to_o be_v levy_v to_o join_v the_o late_a king_n upon_o his_o descent_n into_o this_o kingdom_n with_o a_o french_a power_n in_o order_n to_o drive_v his_o majesty_n out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o depose_v he_o from_o the_o crown_n which_o be_v a_o kill_v he_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o be_v high_a treason_n by_o whatever_o mean_n they_o intend_v to_o effect_v it_o whether_o by_o war_n or_o a_o stab_n or_o any_o other_o manner_n it_o be_v indifferent_a in_o the_o next_o place_n my_o lord_n i_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o another_o part_n of_o this_o defence_n which_o have_v be_v better_o let_v alone_o wherein_o he_o admit_v that_o he_o be_v present_a at_o the_o 2_o meeting_n he_o be_v accuse_v to_o have_v be_v at_o by_o porter_n but_o he_o only_o differ_v in_o one_o point_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o talk_v then_o but_o general_n and_o indifferent_a discourse_n the_o witness_n have_v swear_v what_o the_o discourse_n be_v and_o you_o will_v weigh_v the_o one_o against_o the_o other_o his_o affirmation_n of_o a_o thing_n unlikely_a in_o defence_n of_o himself_o and_o what_o be_v depose_v upon_o oath_n by_o the_o king_n witness_n to_o the_o contrary_n my_o lord_n there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o i_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o and_o that_o be_v the_o evidence_n of_o bertram_n which_o we_o do_v not_o produce_v as_o a_o direct_a evidence_n against_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n but_o as_o a_o confirmation_n of_o what_o be_v swear_v by_o blair_n and_o it_o do_v show_v that_o the_o matter_n swear_v by_o blair_n be_v not_o of_o late_o devise_v out_o of_o malice_n or_o otherwise_o to_o destroy_v the_o prisoner_n for_o that_o blair_n acquaint_v bertram_n with_o and_o
