this_o witness_n for_o i_o be_v and_o why_o i_o have_v he_o not_o ready_a i_o answer_v he_o be_v hard_o by_o in_o the_o prison_n for_o debt_n if_o he_o please_v to_o send_v for_o he_o but_o the_o

be_v true_a that_o i_o have_v such_o a_o sufficient_a witness_n for_o i_o against_o rogers_n but_o the_o judge_n neither_o will_v let_v i_o nor_o any_o else_o read_v it_o open_o but_o however_o i_o make_v bold_a to_o tell_v public_o all_o the_o content_n of_o the_o paper_n which_o be_v word_n for_o word_n as_o the_o witness_n write_v it_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o name_n at_o the_o

and_o in_o my_o conscience_n know_v he_o not_o in_o witness_n to_o this_o i_o will_v lay_v down_o my_o oath_n henry_n holland_n by_o this_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o if_o the_o judge_n will_v let_v my_o witness_n appear_v to_o have_v swear_v i_o may_v have_v cast_v rogers_n the_o chief_a witness_n against_o i_o and_o why_o it_o be_v not_o grant_v let_v all_o that_o hear_v it_o judge_v however_o i_o still_o continue_v to_o plead_v that_o all_o proof_n allege_v against_o i_o be_v insufficient_a which_o i_o can_v make_v appear_v even_o in_o the_o judge_n own_o opinion_n though_o i_o do_v not_o tell_v he_o so_o for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o before_o in_o his_o circuit_n though_o witness_n swear_v against_o a_o gentleman_n who_o they_o will_v have_v prove_v a_o priest_n that_o they_o see_v he_o marry_v people_n and_o baptise_v which_o be_v the_o action_n of_o a_o priest_n yet_o the_o judge_n declare_v that_o because_o these_o action_n may_v be_v do_v by_o such_o as_o be_v no_o priest_n as_o well_o as_o by_o priest_n as_o it_o appear_v because_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n marry_v people_n in_o cromwel_n time_n and_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n may_v at_o some_o time_n christian_a child_n therefore_o such_o common_a action_n as_o he_o declare_v can_v not_o prove_v the_o accuse_a gentleman_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n for_o do_v they_o and_o thereupon_o the_o judge_n free_v he_o whereupon_o i_o infer_v that_o all_o the_o action_n the_o witness_n swear_v they_o see_v i_o do_v as_o wearing_z a_o surplice_n give_v the_o wafer_n exhort_v to_o prayer_n show_v point_n out_o of_o

by_o priest_n according_a to_o the_o judge_n own_o opinion_n these_o action_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v be_v judge_v sufficient_a proof_n against_o i_o no_o more_o than_o such_o action_n be_v judge_v sufficient_a against_o other_o gentleman_n although_o i_o do_v not_o allege_v this_o to_o the_o judge_n yet_o it_o be_v sufficient_a he_o know_v it_o and_o might_n if_o he_o have_v please_v do_v with_o i_o according_o though_o he_o do_v not_o but_o send_v the_o jury_n out_o send_v i_o from_o the_o bar._n i_o be_v afterward_o call_v again_o to_o the_o bar_n and_o it_o be_v declare_v unto_o i_o that_o the_o jury_n have_v find_v i_o guilty_a the_o bill_n be_v read_v against_o i_o and_o then_o i_o be_v ask_v what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v for_o myself_o why_o i_o shall_v not_o die_v that_o i_o may_v speak_v before_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n pass_v against_o i_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v i_o only_o desire_v to_o know_v for_o what_o i_o be_v to_o die_v for_o i_o have_v show_v that_o all_o thing_n allege_v against_o i_o heretofore_o be_v insufficient_a to_o prove_v i_o a_o priest_n or_o take_v away_o my_o life_n the_o judge_n answer_v that_o the_o jury_n have_v find_v i_o guilty_a and_o that_o now_o there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v say_v concern_v the_o proof_n but_o that_o i_o be_v to_o be_v condemn_v as_o a_o priest_n to_o which_o i_o reply_v that_o though_o the_o jury_n have_v find_v i_o guilty_a yet_o i_o be_v still_o innocent_a from_o any_o guilt_n of_o death_n and_o with_o his_o lordship_n permission_n i_o will_v prove_v it_o he_o ask_v i_o how_o i_o answer_v thus_o i_o have_v not_o be_v out_o of_o england_n to_o take_v any_o order_n from_o foreign_a power_n since_o the_o king_n restauration_n to_o his_o crown_n neither_o have_v i_o any_o opportunity_n to_o take_v any_o order_n in_o england_n therefore_o if_o i_o be_v a_o priest_n i_o be_v so_o before_o his_o majesty_n come_v into_o england_n but_o whatever_o i_o have_v do_v before_o the_o king_n come_v into_o england_n can_v make_v i_o now_o guilty_a suppose_v i_o have_v transgress_v the_o law_n before_o because_o his_o majesty_n before_o his_o return_n put_v out_o several_a proclamation_n that_o none_o shall_v ever_o be_v trouble_v for_o their_o religion_n or_o conscience-sake_n and_o since_o his_o come_n into_o england_n he_o have_v do_v the_o same_o by_o several_a proclamation_n and_o what_o be_v yet_o more_o not_o long_o since_o have_v set_v forth_o his_o declaration_n that_o every_o one_o shall_v free_o practice_v his_o own_o religion_n of_o what_o sect_n or_o persuasion_n soever_o which_o declaration_n if_o i_o be_v a_o priest_n i_o may_v safe_o rely_v on_o as_o well_o as_o all_o other_o to_o which_o the_o judge_n reply_v where_o have_v i_o the_o seal_n to_o that_o declaration_n i_o answer_v i_o never_o question_v but_o that_o a_o subject_a may_v take_v his_o king_n word_n declare_v in_o his_o public_a proclamation_n without_o his_o seal_n the_o judge_n answer_v however_o if_o i_o be_v a_o priest_n now_o in_o england_n i_o be_v guilty_a i_o reply_v that_o suppose_v i_o have_v former_o take_v order_n before_o the_o king_n come_v to_o england_n i_o can_v not_o altogether_o degrade_v myself_o or_o be_v otherwise_o now_o than_o what_o i_o be_v ordain_v then_o therefore_o if_o i_o be_v a_o priest_n i_o can_v now_o be_v guilty_a for_o it_o because_o all_o that_o ever_o be_v do_v before_o the_o king_n restauration_n in_o what_o respect_n soever_o be_v all_o forgive_v and_o blot_v out_o by_o the_o king_n be_v general_a pardon_n to_o all_o subject_n even_o to_o those_o who_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o death_n of_o his_o royal_a father_n and_o so_o the_o catholic_n for_o their_o religion_n be_v not_o exclude_v out_o of_o the_o general_n pardon_v wherefore_o i_o tell_v his_o lordship_n i_o be_v not_o guilty_a whereupon_o he_o tell_v i_o i_o be_v guilty_a and_o presume_v far_o to_o plead_v so_o resolute_o and_o with_o such_o confidence_n before_o he_o and_o all_o the_o bench._n i_o crave_v his_o pardon_n for_o my_o fault_n but_o desire_v his_o lordship_n to_o consider_v that_o i_o be_v bid_v speak_v if_o i_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o say_v for_o myself_o before_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n pass_v against_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o plead_v home_o since_o this_o be_v the_o last_o time_n i_o be_v like_a to_o speak_v for_o my_o life_n in_o this_o world_n which_o i_o hope_v his_o lordship_n and_o the_o bench_n will_v consider_v but_o if_o notwithstanding_o so_o many_o proclamation_n grant_n for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o his_o majesty_n general_n pardon_v to_o all_o who_o have_v rely_v on_o they_o if_o all_o this_o will_v not_o secure_v i_o but_o my_o believe_v those_o thing_n have_v cause_v i_o to_o err_v and_o my_o error_n must_v cause_v i_o to_o lose_v my_o life_n i_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v so_o the_o judge_n sit_v down_o and_o pronounce_v against_o i_o the_o sentence_n of_o

you_o shall_v die_v at_o least_o not_o for_o the_o present_a until_o i_o know_v the_o king_n be_v further_a pleasure_n i_o be_v not_o i_o thank_v god_n for_o it_o trouble_v with_o any_o disturb_a

therefore_o shall_v i_o fear_v to_o lose_v my_o temporal_a life_n for_o this_o faith_n whereon_o my_o eternal_a life_n depend_v i_o be_v worse_o than_o a_o infidel_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v prefer_v the_o life_n of_o their_o body_n before_o their_o faith_n their_o religion_n or_o conscience_n they_o be_v worse_o than_o heathen_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o tell_v they_o i_o be_v as_o ready_a by_o

so_o we_o sit_v talk_v half_o a_o hour_n and_o i_o return_v to_o the_o prison_n there_o to_o remain_v as_o long_o as_o it_o please_v god_n and_o the_o king_n who_o god_n long_o preserve_v in_o all_o

because_o in_o cromwel_n time_n in_o the_o great_a trouble_n our_o family_n suffer_v much_o my_o father_n be_v imprison_v and_o a_o fellow-prisoner_n with_o sir_n thomas_n ashton_n both_o confine_v

then_o come_v into_o england_n again_o before_o the_o king_n restauration_n i_o be_v glad_a to_o conceal_v myself_o and_o go_v by_o several_a name_n as_o many_o other_o of_o the_o king_n be_v loyal_a subject_n do_v the_o better_a to_o be_v able_a to_o do_v his_o majesty_n the_o best_a service_n i_o can_v which_o according_a to_o my_o small_a ability_n i_o do_v endeavour_n both_o before_o and_o since_o the_o king_n come_v into_o england_n like_o a_o dutiful_a subject_n and_o like_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o family_n who_o all_o endeavour_v to_o serve_v his_o majesty_n for_o i_o have_v two_o

do_v can_v not_o be_v impute_v as_o a_o guilt_n upon_o i_o nor_o speak_v i_o other_o than_o a_o dutiful_a subject_n which_o i_o can_v have_v make_v further_o appear_v before_o the_o bench_n but_o i_o do_v not_o judge_v it_o convenient_a to_o say_v any_o more_o to_o the_o judge_n there_o in_o public_a but_o before_o his_o lordship_n go_v out_o of_o worcester_n i_o present_v he_o with_o a_o
