If his Majesty bring me upon my Tryal He may try me where He pleases but if I bring my self to it it must be at the Kings-Bench Bar. Sir Will. You are deceived you cannot Cel. But I can and will to Sir Will. I 'll tell his Majesty what you say Cel. Pray do for I desire it Sir Will. Well I see you are an obstinate woman and do not understand your own good I 'll come no more to you Cel.

No Sir Will. I am not such a Distressed Damosel to use your Service For as the Devil can do harm but not good so though you have put me in yet it is not in your power to fetch me out of this inchanted Castle but I shall come out e'er long to a Glorious Death or an Honourable Life both which are indifferent to me blessed be God After this I was no more troubled with him That night the Duke of Monmouth came to Town from Holland I was fetched before the Council in great haste having now learn'd to turn up my Hoods without bidding L. Chan. Come Mrs. Cellier we hear of your zeal Cel. It is a Virtue to be zealous My Lord. L. Chan. The Truth comes out by little and little we shall know all Cel. My Lord I wish all the truth were known and then I should go home to my own House L. Chan. When were you in Flanders Cel. Never L. Chan. You were Cel. I never was out of England L. Chan. Do you know one Mr. Adams Cel. What Mr. Adams does your Lordship mean L. Chan. Mr. Adams a Commissioner of the Statute of Bankrupt Cel. Yes I know him well he sent John-a-Nokes to Prison and thereupon was put out of Commission L. Chan. Has he done you any personal injury Cel. Only helpt to cheat me of five Hundred Pounds L. Chan. Nothing else Cel. No my Lord but I 'll assure you he did that L. Chan. You were at the Devil-Tavern with him and Dangerfield the 24 th of September and said there was no Plot but a Presbyterian Plot and that it would appear so in a Month you tim'd it well for just then your Intrigue was found out Cel. My Lord I was at the Devil-Tavern but not within three weeks of the time you mention L. Chan. You were there at that time and said you were just come from Flanders and drank the Duke of York's Health in a Beer-glass of Claret and would not let Mr. Adams drink unless he nam'd the Health Cel. Indeed my Lord that was ill done for there was not a drop of Claret L. C. But you drank the Duke 's Health Cel. Pray my Lord what crime is it L. C. It is none Cel. Then I hope there 's no Punishment L. C. Here is nothing to be done with her call Mr. Adams He was called in and his Wise Depositions read Cel. My Lord of all this fine Story there is nothing true but that I was at the Tavern but it was three weeks before the time he mentioned and I did Pledge the D 's Health and say I believed there was a Plot among the Presbyterians to play their old Game over again but I hoped God would bless the King and his Royal Brother and that their Affairs would go well and God would destroy their Enemies and send quiet Times Adams She did say she had been beyond Sea and Mr. Petly will swear she said she had been in Flanders Cel. If I did say so I lyed L. Presid If you Lyed then how shall we know you tell Truth now Cel. My Lord there is a great deal of difference between what I say at a Tavern to a Man of his Understanding and what I say here where every Word ought to be equal to an Oath Adams Your bawdy Story I left out of the Depositions I was asham'd to speak it King What can she speak Bawdy too Adams Yes indeed she did L. C. I she 's fit for any thing Cel. My Lord I never spoke an immodest word in my Life Mr. Adams though you strive to take away my Life do not take away my Honour What did I say King What did she say come tell us the Story Adams She said She said that She said That if she did not lose her Hands she could get Mony as long as King As long as what out with it Adams made as if he were asham'd and could not speak such a word Cel. I said if I did not lose my Hands I should get Mony as long as Men kissed their Wives Adams By the Oath I have taken she said their Mistresses too Cel. Did I so pray what else do they keep them for L. Chan. That was but witty King 'T was but natural to her Practice Cel. Mr. Adams I am sorry for your Ignorance I beseech your Majesty let me be inlarged L. Chan. You are an obstinate Woman and will tell us nothing we ask you Cel. My Lord I tell Truth to all you ask L.
