the Dye-house perswaded the young man of the House to go to bed by eight of the Clock and then having all things in readiness about ten a Clock he kindled the Fires c. As herein after in her Narrative given under her hand after her Condemnation is more particularly and fully set forth In fine after a large and diligent Examination upon her Confession against her self and charge upon Oath against Mr. Satterwait they were both Committed to the Marshalsea with strict charge that they should be kept apart As Mr. Satterwait was carrying to Prison there being a vast Tumult or Crowd of people the Justices gave a particular charge that no Violence should be offered or hurt done to his Person yet the Multitude being fill'd with Indignation against that insufferable and destructive Crime whereof they then imagined him to be guilty could not forbear expressing their detestation against such practices Crying out hang him knock him on the head stoning is too good for him c. At which Mr. Satterwait seemed much concern'd and apprehensive that they would have done him some present harm though indeed none did meddle with him further than in words and in this Consternation and affirightment he was often heard by those that conducted him to cry out by way of Prayer or sudden Ejaculation Sancta Maria Jesu Maria and sometimes Jesu Maria repeating those words very frequently and with much earnestness and then reflecting upon the Crowd and the harsh Sentences they were pleased to bestow upon him he would say Sancta Maria are these Christians Sancta Maria are these Christians and Protestants Pagans Pagans c. His using these words confirmed many in their Opinion that he was a Papist but he denies it and sure a man may be allowed to know or chuse his own Religion insomuch that for satisfaction in the point a Reverend Divine going to visit him in Prison amongst other Discourses happening to ask him how he came so vehemently to call upon the Virgin Mary adding further that he believed that blessed Saint did not hear him Mr. Satterwait to this only answered he remembred not that he used such words but if he did he did not know the meaning of them To which the Divine replyed That that was something unlikely considering his Parents had given him such liberal Education As to the Deportment of Margaret Clark it is well known to all that visited her and all the Officers and Keepers belonging to the Goal That she carryed her self all along during the whole time of her Confinement which was seven weeks very civilly and penitently every day weeping abundantly often sending for Ministers to come to her to whom she would most freely and affectionately express her self much bewailing her sins especially her great wickedness in complying with such temptations and consenting to the wicked act for which she was committed On the 13th of March 1679 80 both the said Margaret Clark and Mr. Satterwait were brought to their Trial at Kingston upon Thames where the Assizes for the County of Surrey were then held They were both Arraigned upon one and the same Indictment for the wicked and fellonious entring into and setting on fire the House and Dye-house of the said Mr. Peter Delanoy Against the Maid there were Witnesses that proved the Fire and her own Confession that she was privy and consenting to it which though she pleaded Not Guilty for Form's sake yet she did not deny at Bar but only alledged that she was so put upon it by her Fellow Prisoner but being charged in the same Indictment all she said was insignificant and not to be regarded in Law as any Evidence against him And for other proof the same was likewise altogether insufficient One Woman swore she had often seen him in Southwark and particularly on Thursday before the Fire broke out but could not say she either saw him in Delanoy's House or in Company with his Maid The other deposed that she saw a man in a Red Coat go into Mr. Delanoy's House on the Sunday but would not swear that the Prisoner was the person On the other side Mr. Satterwait had several Witnesses as his Mother and Uncle to prove he was educated in the Protestant Religion a Certificate that he had received the Sacrament and taken the Oaths of Allegiance Supremacy and Test Four or five of the Guard to prove that he was at whitehall on Thursday Jan. 29. and at 3 a Clock went with them to the One Tun Tavern in St. Martins Lane where he staid till three of the Clock on Fryday morning January the 30th And from thence never out of their Company till two of the Clock in the Afternoon At which time he came to a House in Vine-Street where he slept 'till Eight a Clock and then came to his Mother's and went to Bed not rising 'till Nine of the Clock on Saturday Morning Jan. 31. and then went to the Guard till Three a Clock in the Afternoon then was at the Cock and Bottle in Covent-Garden till Nine at night lay at the Swan Inn in 〈◊〉 street Saturday night and rose not out of 〈◊〉 till Sunday Afternoon nor stirred out all day till Ten at night Then his Mother and her Lodger 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he came to her House about half an hour past Ten on Sunday Night and lay there till Nine Monday morning There Mrs. Hu●●●erston to prove that she sent a Maid to let him know she was going into Southwark and received Answer from him that he would presently meet her at the Both at the Bridge Foot c. In fine upon the whole 〈◊〉 the Jury brought in the said Margaret Clark Guilty 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and Mr. Satterwait Not Guilty These par ticulars attested by the said Mr. Satterwait's Friends on his behalf we have taken out of a printed Sheet said 〈◊〉 Title 〈◊〉 written with his own hand wherein the 〈◊〉 is very ●●●●●●ly set forth as 't is like it was drawn up that he might the better call them in order In which Sheet there yet seems to be at least one very great and unhappy mistake for p. 2. Mr. Satterwait says positively of himself That he was CONVICTED And many people do also think that another mistake p. 3. where he says that the Maid at her Tryal denyed impudently what she had before confessed as to her self but stood firmly to her first principles as to his particular For besides that they could not observe any such Denial unless it be meant in the formality of pleading not guilty they cannot comprehend how she would stand to her first Principles of charging him but at the same time she must needs own her self concern'd in it And indeed she seemed so far from any Impudence that there appeared a very great awe and Reverence upon her Spirit not willingly to Commit any Sin whereof she gave a very Signal Example of which several of us were Eye and Ear-witnesses viz. After Mr. Satterwait was acquitted
