the_o vindication_n of_o the_o dead_a or_o six_o hour_n reflection_n upon_o the_o six_o week_n labour_v in_o answer_v mr._n ashton_n speech_n publish_v by_o authority_n §_o 1._o the_o case_n of_o mr._n ashton_n be_v indeed_o so_o hard_o and_o his_o speech_n so_o handsome_a that_o i_o do_v wonder_v to_o see_v a_o secretary_n command_n for_o print_v a_o evasive_a trifle_a and_o malicious_a paper_n that_o endeavour_n to_o load_v his_o person_n and_o blast_v his_o write_n but_o the_o subject_n will_v bear_v no_o more_o and_o the_o government_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o defence_n however_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v the_o late_a answerer_n shall_v expect_v to_o persuade_v the_o world_n it_o be_v not_o his_o because_o he_o who_o profess_v himself_o a_o illiterate_a man_n and_o unskilled_a in_o the_o law_n use_v the_o term_n of_o impend_a prevaricate_a premise_n and_o consequence_n two_o of_o which_o be_v not_o term_n of_o art_n none_o of_o the_o law_n and_o those_o other_o two_o that_o be_v logical_a make_v familiar_a to_o all_o those_o that_o have_v ever_o have_v any_o sort_n of_o breed_n or_o conversation_n for_o all_o that_o be_v say_v of_o this_o nature_n both_o at_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_n of_o the_o answer_n will_v appear_v very_o impertinent_a to_o any_o one_o that_o read_v his_o trial_n even_o as_o it_o be_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v publish_v wherein_o some_o thing_n have_v be_v omit_v as_o well_o as_o other_o amend_v to_o make_v it_o fit_a for_o perusal_n for_o in_o that_o he_o defend_v himself_o so_o sensible_o that_o it_o provoke_v the_o l._n ch._n just_a pol_n to_o rage_n and_o sufficient_o prove_v himself_o capable_a to_o write_v such_o a_o paper_n who_o natural_a part_n be_v so_o very_o strong_a and_o so_o well_o improve_v and_o if_o he_o be_v so_o well_o satisfy_v that_o those_o that_o comply_v with_o as_o well_o as_o those_o that_o support_v the_o present_a establishment_n be_v guilty_a of_o perjury_n and_o partake_v with_o rebel_n it_o very_o well_o become_v the_o charity_n of_o a_o die_a man_n to_o warn_v those_o he_o leave_v behind_o he_o to_o repent_v and_o if_o the_o word_n of_o die_a man_n have_v general_o more_o weight_n and_o make_v deep_a impression_n he_o do_v but_o his_o duty_n to_o recommend_v to_o those_o who_o survive_v he_o amendment_n and_o restitution_n §_o 2._o as_o for_o those_o matter_n of_o law_n which_o he_o think_v hard_o in_o his_o trial_n i_o believe_v he_o neither_o complain_v of_o nor_o desire_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n pollexfen_n sir_n francis_n child_n mr._n herbert_n and_o almost_o every_o man_n upon_o his_o jury_n as_o well_o as_o tremain_n and_o all_o the_o other_o council_n will_v have_v censure_v or_o think_v fit_a to_o be_v grant_v in_o any_o other_o reign_n but_o by_o this_o we_o see_v they_o have_v learn_v to_o practice_v those_o method_n of_o trial_n which_o themselves_o former_o complain_v of_o as_o arbitrary_a and_o illegal_a and_o have_v borrow_a law_n from_o the_o tory_n while_o to_o make_v they_o amends_o they_o have_v teach_v they_o their_o gospel_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o know_v nothing_o can_v have_v seem_v to_o warrant_v the_o late_a extraordinary_a proceed_n so_o well_o as_o a_o reformation_n of_o our_o former_a ill_a measure_n and_o prove_v that_o that_o and_o not_o private_a advantage_n be_v the_o true_a motive_n of_o the_o undertake_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o we_o be_v poor_a of_o late_a than_o former_o and_o if_o the_o evil_a in●●●●ments_n in_o the_o late_a reign_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v our_o minister_n under_o this_o and_o what_o be_v maladministration_n than_o commence_v just_a and_o necessary_a politic_n now_o we_o shall_v too_o certain_o and_o too_o soon_o be_v miserable_a if_o they_o do_v change_v thing_n you_o be_v little_a the_o better_a for_o change_v the_o man_n the_o hardship_n and_o inequality_n of_o trial_n and_o innovation_n upon_o the_o right_n of_o subject_n in_o that_o particular_a make_v a_o very_a specious_a head_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n be_v declaration_n and_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o article_n of_o our_o new_a original_a contract_n that_o the_o subject_n shall_v be_v free_a from_o such_o burden_n but_o yet_o our_o judge_n be_v in_o the_o beat_a road_n of_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o can_v do_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o those_o bless_a precedent_n and_o though_o it_o be_v great_a and_o the_o self-denial_n of_o a_o die_a christian_a in_o mr._n ashton_n not_o to_o name_v the_o l._n ch._n just_a p._n and_o mr._n h._n for_o fear_n of_o transgress_v that_o law_n of_o christ_n of_o forgive_a enemy_n yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v that_o some_o parliament_n will_v mark_v they_o down_o to_o posterity_n for_o example_n sake_n i_o be_o sure_a i_o wish_v they_o no_o punishment_n but_o what_o may_v be_v necessary_a to_o keep_v a_o judge_n who_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o prisoner_n council_n from_o be_v a_o advocate_n against_o he_o and_o a_o juryman_n from_o party_n and_o faction_n where_o life_n and_o death_n be_v concern_v §_o 3._o what_o mr._n h._n do_v be_v think_v so_o much_o the_o more_o strange_a because_o it_o be_v confident_o report_v that_o upon_o hear_v the_o paper_n so_o charge_v upon_o my_o lord_n preston_n at_o his_o trial_n he_o say_v that_o night_n public_o at_o the_o grecian_a coffee-house_n in_o devereux-court_n near_o the_o middle_a temple_n that_o if_o he_o be_v not_o except_v against_o upon_o monday_n he_o can_v not_o bring_v in_o either_o of_o the_o other_o guilty_a in_o relation_n to_o the_o paper_n yet_o he_o it_o be_v that_o will_v have_v help_v they_o to_o evidence_n and_o improve_v one_o insinuation_n against_o mr._n ashton_n which_o the_o answerer_n i_o suppose_v have_v from_o the_o same_o mint_n viz._n that_o one_o of_o the_o paper_n be_v write_v in_o mr._n ashton_n hand_n though_o as_o the_o answerer_n observe_v it_o have_v be_v very_o material_a to_o have_v make_v proof_n of_o that_o upon_o his_o trial_n which_o they_o may_v easy_o have_v do_v have_v it_o be_v true_a no_o man_n hand_n be_v better_o know_v and_o they_o have_v in_o their_o hand_n volume_n of_o his_o write_n when_o he_o be_v in_o place_n at_o court_n though_o it_o have_v be_v after_o all_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o deliverer_n to_o have_v explode_a similitude_n of_o hand_n from_o be_v evidence_n in_o case_n of_o high_a treason_n and_o unless_o the_o answerer_n prove_v the_o delivery_n of_o it_o to_o a_o three_o person_n he_o will_v be_v think_v as_o much_o the_o virulent_a and_o unjust_a murderer_n of_o his_o reputation_n as_o the_o other_o be_v of_o his_o body_n for_o want_v of_o due_a proof_n that_o he_o know_v the_o content_n i_o think_v a_o man_n be_v innocent_a of_o what_o he_o die_v for_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o law_n if_o the_o evidence_n do_v not_o amount_v to_o legal_a proof_n of_o the_o indictment_n and_o that_o aught_o in_o common_a justice_n as_o well_o as_o charity_n to_o be_v think_v the_o meaning_n of_o his_o asserted_a innocency_n for_o he_o do_v not_o pretend_v he_o have_v not_o endeavour_v to_o restore_v the_o uncle_n and_o the_o father_n of_o he_o and_o her_o that_o possess_v the_o throne_n §_o 4_o i_o do_v see_v in_o mr._n ashton_n paper_n so_o much_o art_n as_o honesty_n according_a to_o his_o principle_n but_o i_o find_v in_o the_o answerer_n all_o the_o advantage_n take_v that_o his_o own_o six_o week_n labour_n and_o a_o club_n can_v furnish_v from_o hence_o a_o compliment_n mr._n ashton_n make_v the_o court_n fol._n 112_o and_o 115._o be_v with_o he_o a_o proof_n that_o mr._n ashton_n have_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o indictment_n panel_n of_o the_o jury_n sufficient_a notice_n etc._n etc._n which_o i_o believe_v and_o always_o do_v to_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v a_o trial_n just_a and_o equitable_a according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o england_n at_o least_o the_o stress_n this_o answerer_n lay_v upon_o that_o compliment_n prove_v that_o he_o esteem_v all_o the_o management_n of_o that_o trial_n to_o have_v be_v very_o fair_a and_o that_o so_o pol_n be_v brat_n in_o the_o charge_n be_v a_o language_n well_o become_v a_o judge_n and_o that_o herbert_n ensnare_a question_n be_v no_o less_o become_v a_o impartial_a juryman_n i_o omit_v to_o mention_v any_o other_o hardship_n both_o in_o mr._n ashton_n and_o in_o my_o lord_n preston_n trial_n but_o particular_o the_o king_n council_n except_v against_o so_o many_o juryman_n without_o show_v cause_n which_o be_v so_o notorious_a a_o prejudice_n to_o a_o prisoner_n that_o unless_o they_o can_v show_v very_o authentic_a precedent_n of_o the_o like_a practice_n in_o criminal_a case_n they_o must_v give_v i_o and_o other_o leave_v to_o think_v it_o one_o of_o the_o bold_a encroachment_n upon_o the_o people_n
