shall_v upon_o pretence_n of_o his_o private_a conference_n with_o a_o papist_n attaint_v of_o treason_n publish_v in_o print_n to_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o truth_n that_o two_o justice_n of_o

to_o perjure_v himself_o by_o form_v a_o plausible_a story_n to_o confirm_v the_o popish_a plot._n we_o say_v again_o that_o a_o dr._n of_o our_o church_n shall_v cause_v to_o be_v send_v into_o all_o

infamous_a and_o odious_a than_o word_n can_v express_v at_o this_o we_o be_v strike_v with_o horror_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o doctor_n be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o these_o pretend_a word_n or_o confession_n of_o fitz-harris_n be_v contrary_a to_o his_o most_o solemn_a oath_n swear_v before_o the_o king_n minister_n as_o well_o as_o before_o those_o

discredit_v and_o prevent_v the_o prosecution_n of_o the_o popish_a plot._n the_o doctor_n also_o may_v with_o very_o little_a pain_n have_v satisfy_v himself_o by_o undoubted_a evidence_n of_o the_o falsehood_n of_o several_a of_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n in_o the_o confession_n and_o sure_o his_o function_n as_o a_o divine_a his_o duty_n as_o a_o neighbour_n and_o much_o more_o as_o a_o

be_v take_v and_o form_v as_o we_o can_v prove_v a_o week_n at_o least_o before_o fitz-harris's_a death_n and_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v that_o the_o miserable_a delude_a man_n understand_v many_o thing_n in_o it_o as_o they_o be_v model_v as_o little_a as_o he_o do_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o four_o general_a council_n which_o he_o own_v for_o his_o faith_n whosoever_o put_v it_o upon_o he_o but_o the_o doctor_n take_v care_n that_o none_o of_o the_o party_n accuse_v may_v see_v the_o arrow_n intend_v to_o wound_v they_o till_o their_o good_a name_n shall_v feel_v they_o and_o therefore_o keep_v his_o confession_n in_o secret_a until_o the_o poor_a wretch_n be_v dead_a and_o cold_a that_o will_v perhaps_o have_v show_v the_o fraud_n with_o his_o last_o breath_n if_o he_o have_v be_v absolute_o certain_a that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v his_o last_o but_o that_o the_o doctor_n assure_v he_o of_o the_o contrary_a even_o very_a near_o his_o last_o hour_n in_o due_a time_n will_v be_v prove_v the_o sheriff_n at_o the_o gallow_n remember_v fitz-harris_n of_o his_o promise_n make_v to_o each_o of_o they_o in_o newgate_n that_o if_o they_o do_v put_v he_o to_o death_n

in_o writing_n he_o answer_v they_o that_o he_o have_v leave_v it_o with_o dr._n hawkins_n the_o sheriff_n demand_v of_o the_o doctor_n that_o it_o may_v be_v read_v to_o the_o people_n whilst_o the_o
