have_v scarce_o trouble_v myself_o to_o give_v your_o lordship_n and_o the_o jury_n this_o trouble_n but_o i_o must_v say_v and_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n whatsoever_o that_o stand_v to_o have_v vice_n of_o this_o nature_n convict_v and_o punish_v but_o desire_v the_o protestant_a religion_n may_v be_v support_v to_o the_o utmost_a and_o that_o popery_n may_v be_v

be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o hum_n conscience_n indeed_o sir_n f._n w._n i_o shall_v hint_n one_o thing_n to_o your_o lordship_n in_o this_o case_n that_o it_o be_v a_o unlikely_a thing_n that_o a_o papist_n shall_v set_v out_o this_o packet_n at_o this_o time_n for_o than_o my_o lord_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o mr._n carr_n have_v none_o come_v out_o that_o week_n for_o his_o be_v a_o weekly_a intelligence_n if_o mr._n carr'_v have_v come_v out_o and_o this_o likewise_o there_o have_v be_v some_o pretence_n for_o this_o but_o since_o there_o come_v out_o but_o one_o that_o the_o papist_n set_v out_o this_o be_v unlikely_a they_o have_v not_o pretend_v to_o bring_v in_o any_o body_n else_o as_o the_o author_n but_o there_o own_o witness_n say_v and_o they_o themselves_o say_v he_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o author_n those_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v against_o the_o government_n be_v never_o do_v in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o government_n l._n c._n j._n real_o gentleman_n i_o think_v not_o that_o this_o have_v be_v a_o cause_n of_o that_o moment_n that_o now_o i_o find_v it_o for_o their_o very_a disturbance_n have_v alter_v it_o from_o mr._n carr'_v to_o a_o public_a concern_v the_o noise_n which_o they_o make_v this_o way_n that_o these_o people_n use_n that_o with_o their_o shout_n and_o noise_n attend_v the_o cause_n have_v quite_o spoil_v it_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o harris_n but_o those_o people_n that_o do_v then_o attend_v he_o leave_z following_z he_o in_o a_o goal_n for_o five_o hundred_o pound_n which_o may_v be_v five_o shilling_n a_o piece_n have_v discharge_v he_o of_o if_o they_o have_v be_v as_o free_v of_o their_o purse_n as_o they_o be_v of_o their_o noise_n and_o acclamation_n so_o that_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v only_o violent_a against_o the_o government_n while_o they_o can_v make_v shout_n and_o noise_n but_o if_o it_o come_v once_o to_o deliver_v a_o man_n from_o a_o penal_a sum_n they_o will_v let_v he_o rot_v in_o goal_n for_o so_o harris_n send_v to_o i_o that_o his_o party_n have_v all_o forsake_v he_o and_o no_o man_n will_v give_v he_o any_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v for_o those_o hummer_n those_o brave_a fellow_n that_o seem_v to_o espouse_v a_o cause_n and_o yet_o leave_v their_o party_n in_o distress_n but_o let_v they_o go_v away_o with_o this_o that_o they_o prove_v themselves_o hereby_o enemy_n to_o the_o government_n and_o false_a to_o that_o interest_n and_o man_n that_o they_o seem_v to_o espouse_v that_o come_v only_o here_o to_o affront_v a_o court_n of_o justice_n with_o their_o shout_n and_o noise_n and_o will_v not_o relieve_v their_o party_n for_o this_o be_v the_o complaint_n of_o harris_n and_o the_o disparagement_n of_o all_o man_n that_o come_v to_o espouse_v it_o this_o cause_n the_o truth_n on_o it_o be_v i_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o to_o be_v of_o this_o nature_n and_o moment_n when_o it_o be_v open_v for_o though_o there_o be_v in_o this_o very_a paper_n upon_o which_o the_o information_n be_v ground_v word_n malicious_a and_o reflective_a enough_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o apparent_o appropriate_v that_o a_o man_n may_v observe_v a_o extraordinary_a design_n in_o they_o this_o i_o think_v but_o real_o the_o case_n be_v alter_v even_o by_o those_o men._n for_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o harris_n be_v poor_a and_o his_o keep_n in_o prison_n be_v principa_o occasion_v from_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o reception_n of_o his_o punishment_n which_o he_o call_v his_o pardon_n and_o therefore_o these_o fellow_n these_o hummer_n let_v they_o all_o know_v when_o ever_o they_o come_v to_o espouse_v a_o cause_n of_o public_a concern_v against_o the_o government_n they_o spoil_v it_o and_o when_o they_o be_v take_v than_o they_o ruin_v one_o another_o and_o this_o be_v like_a to_o be_v so_o for_o none_o will_v help_v they_o with_o a_o groat_n and_o this_o be_v the_o misfortune_n of_o that_o unfortunate_a man_n harris_n that_o he_o have_v no_o place_n of_o mercy_n leave_v he_o from_o the_o king_n because_o he_o be_v attend_v with_o such_o a_o rabble_n as_o these_o people_n be_v that_o have_v make_v a_o noise_n here_o and_o ye●_n will_v give_v he_o no_o help_n nor_o assistance_n when_o he_o want_v it_o and_o let_v they_o know_v it_o have_v turn_v this_o man_n cause_n into_o a_o public_a cause_n because_o here_o be_v people_n that_o do_v espouse_v it_o and_o the_o government_n be_v hereby_o concern_v much_o more_o than_o by_o any_o one_o action_n that_o this_o carr_n can_v have_v do_v i_o have_v say_v so_o much_o the_o more_o of_o this_o that_o i_o may_v show_v you_o to_o what_o a_o sad_a cause_n this_o be_v bring_v from_o what_o at_o first_o it_o be_v for_o if_o it_o have_v pass_v without_o such_o a_o noise_n as_o you_o see_v how_o they_o express_v themselves_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v think_v much_o matter_n in_o it_o and_o though_o you_o have_v convict_v he_o i_o shall_v have_v think_v a_o better_a sentence_n may_v have_v serve_v the_o turn_n but_o they_o have_v undo_v carr_n if_o you_o find_v he_o guilty_a and_o so_o it_o be_v like_a to_o prove_v when_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o popular_a attendence_n upon_o public_a cause_n that_o concern_v the_o government_n the_o present_a case_n it_o stand_v thus_o mr._n carr_n here_o be_v a_o information_n bring_v against_o he_o for_o publish_v a_o print_a

as_o the_o author_n but_o then_o be_v he_o the_o author_n and_o publisher_n of_o this_o particular_a book_n i_o have_v rather_o mr._n carr_n with_o all_o his_o fault_n about_o he_o and_o his_o hummer_n shall_v go_v away_o with_o applause_n and_o have_v he_o find_v not_o guilty_a than_o do_v he_o wrong_v in_o one_o circumstance_n for_o i_o come_v to_o try_v cause_n according_a to_o the_o

remain_v for_o you_o to_o consider_v what_o proof_n you_o have_v as_o to_o this_o particular_a book_n against_o which_o the_o information_n lie_v and_o that_o be_v the_o printer_n himself_o who_o be_v one_o of_o the_o best_a sort_n of_o evidence_n that_o can_v be_v have_v for_o you_o very_o well_o know_v that_o evidence_n of_o fact_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v forgery_n be_v not_o to_o be_v prove_v so_o plain_o as_o to_o expect_v witness_n as_o you_o do_v at_o the_o seal_n of_o a_o bond_n for_o man_n do_v not_o call_v witness_n when_o they_o forge_v a_o thing_n therefore_o in_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n we_o be_v fain_o to_o retreat_v to_o such_o probable_a and_o conjectural_a evidence_n as_o the_o matter_n will_v bear_v i_o believe_v some_o of_o you_o have_v be_v of_o jury_n at_o the_o old-bailey_n and_o that_o even_o for_o man_n life_n you_o have_v very_o often_o not_o a_o direct_a proof_n of_o the_o fact_n of_o the_o act_n or_o of_o the_o actual_a kill_v but_o yet_o you_o have_v such_o evidence_n by_o presumption_n as_o seem_v reasonable_a to_o conscience_n if_o there_o be_v a_o know_a case_n in_o man_n life_n certain_o that_o shall_v govern_v in_o offence_n and_o especial_o when_o offence_n be_v of_o a_o nature_n that_o reflect_v upon_o the_o government_n as_o for_o those_o word_n illicite_fw-la

for_o that_o we_o have_v this_o evidence_n the_o printer_n tell_v you_o he_o be_v the_o person_n that_o they_o look_v upon_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o book_n that_o he_o send_v this_o
