A96856	The triall, of Lieut. Collonell John Lilburne, by an extraordinary or special commission, of oyear and terminer at the Guild-Hall of London, the 24, 25, 26. of Octob. 1649. Being as exactly pen'd and taken in short hand, as it was possible to be done in such a croud and noise, and transcribed with an indifferent and even hand, both in reference to the court, and the prisoner; that so matter of fact, as it was there declared, might truly come to publick view. In which is contained all the judges names, and the names of the grand inquest, and the names of the honest jury of life and death. Vnto which is annexed a necessary and essential appendix, very well worth the readers, carefull perusal; if he desire rightly to understand the whole body of the discourse, and know the worth of that ner'e enough to be prised, bulwork of English freedom, viz. to be tried by a jury of legal and good men of the neighbour-hood. / Published by Theodorus Verax.

of_o treason_n commit_v in_o three_o several_a county_n and_o that_o be_v matter_n of_o law_n i_o desire_v counsel_n to_o argue_v that_o point_n in_o the_o first_o place_n there_o be_v also_o a_o

therefore_o i_o crave_v leave_n according_a to_o my_o undoubted_a right_n to_o have_v counsel_n assign_v to_o plead_v in_o matter_n of_o law_n to_o the_o insufficiency_n of_o the_o indictment_n and_o

of_o all_o the_o book_n fix_v upon_o i_o but_o the_o outcry_n that_o have_v two_o plain_a witness_n to_o it_o &_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o swear_v that_o i_o be_o the_o author_n of_o it_o the_o state_n
