bring_v a_o purpose_n to_o this_o place_n to_o help_v i_o therein_o see_v myself_o thus_o total_o deprive_v and_o cut_v off_o from_o all_o help_n and_o hope_n of_o make_v my_o defence_n i_o can_v not_o tell_v whither_o to_o go_v or_o send_v but_o to_o your_o lordship_n who_o i_o think_v upon_o my_o humble_a petition_n may_v have_v grant_v both_o a_o copy_n of_o my_o charge_n and_o the_o

with_o all_o humility_n address_v myself_o to_o your_o lordship_n and_o this_o honourable_a court_n and_o do_v most_o earnest_o desire_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o charge_n also_o the_o deposition_n of_o

away_o the_o book_n from_o my_o notary_n after_o he_o have_v write_v the_o charge_n therefore_o my_o lord_n without_o a_o copy_n of_o the_o charge_n and_o the_o deposition_n of_o the_o witness_n it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o i_o to_o trouble_v this_o honourable_a court_n when_o i_o never_o have_v fight_v of_o the_o charge_n nor_o deposition_n of_o the_o witness_n the_o want_n of_o which_o

grant_v will_v do_v you_o no_o good_a therefore_o i_o advise_v you_o no_o long_o to_o stand_v out_o but_o make_v your_o defence_n gib_n my_o lord_n if_o i_o shall_v begin_v to_o proceed_v and_o make_v my_o defence_n be_v as_o i_o say_v already_o total_o ignorant_a in_o all_o the_o law_n and_o utter_o unable_a both_o in_o memory_n and_o part_n to_o take_v all_o just_a and_o clear_a objection_n against_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o charge_n and_o evidence_n if_o i_o shall_v make_v my_o defence_n when_o all_o mean_n be_v thus_o take_v away_o i_o shall_v certain_o throw_v away_o my_o own_o life_n and_o become_v guilty_a of_o shed_v my_o own_o blood_n therefore_o i_o have_v rather_o a_o 100_o time_n leave_v myself_o to_o the_o mercy_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o court_n who_o i_o hope_v be_v very_o sensible_a how_o much_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n be_v worth_a and_o withal_o consider_v the_o hard_a measure_n i_o have_v in_o take_v away_o the_o book_n of_o those_o that_o write_v for_o i_o that_o so_o i_o can_v never_o have_v sight_n of_o the_o charge_n nor_o deposition_n of_o the_o witness_n which_o all_o other_o have_v have_v nor_o no_o counsel_n to_o advise_v i_o thus_o be_v leave_v naked_a and_o destitute_a of_o all_o help_n i_o have_v rather_o submit_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o court_n than_o ever_o plead_v to_o save_v my_o life_n my_o lord_n i_o be_o persuade_v i_o stand_v to_o be_v judge_v by_o a_o court_n where_o i_o see_v the_o face_n of_o those_o that_o true_o fear_v god_n and_o that_o they_o will_v serious_o weigh_v and_o consider_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o any_o for_o who_o christ_n have_v die_v be_v exceed_o precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n who_o will_v not_o take_v any_o advantage_n against_o any_o for_o their_o ignorance_n and_o that_o you_o also_o do_v remember_v that_o all_o your_o judgement_n will_v be_v judge_v over_o again_o at_o the_o tribunal_n of_o christ_n who_o will_v both_o be_v a_o council_n and_o advocate_n for_o i_o a_o prisoner_n now_o stand_v at_o the_o bar_n thus_o hope_v that_o you_o will_v reckon_v the_o life_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o mean_a person_n for_o who_o christ_n have_v die_v as_o much_o worth_n as_o the_o life_n of_o the_o great_a i_o will_v rather_o submit_v to_o your_o mercy_n then_o plead_v if_o i_o can_v have_v what_o i_o do_v desire_v but_o be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o have_v any_o hand_n to_o destroy_v myself_o and_o so_o become_v guilty_a of_o my_o own_o death_n therefore_o though_o for_o want_v of_o help_n i_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v my_o defence_n yet_o i_o shall_v make_v a_o appeal_n to_o the_o court_n which_o be_v all_o i_o can_v do_v and_o therefore_o desire_v you_o serious_o to_o weigh_v and_o consider_v how_o far_o short_a the_o evidence_n come_v and_o how_o full_a of_o contrariety_n and_o contradiction_n by_o the_o law_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v two_o lawful_a and_o sufficient_a witness_n to_o make_v a_o man_n guilty_a of_o treason_n these_o witness_n must_v agree_v punctual_o in_o their_o testimony_n and_o the_o treason_n they_o prove_v must_v be_v against_o the_o express_a word_n of_o the_o act_n also_o the_o law_n will_v not_o suffer_v those_o that_o be_v guilty_a and_o convict_v of_o the_o same_o crime_n by_o their_o own_o confession_n whereof_o they_o accuse_v i_o to_o give_v evidence_n against_o i_o these_o witness_n therefore_o can_v be_v lawful_a and_o sufficient_a against_o i_o they_o have_v confess_v thus_o much_o against_o themselves_o and_o so_o do_v either_o witness_n against_o i_o out_o of_o fear_n of_o death_n or_o promise_n of_o reward_n this_o i_o be_o certain_o inform_v will_v be_v prove_v against_o major_a adam_n and_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o court_n at_o m._n love_n trial_n concerning_o the_o testimony_n of_o major_n adam_n which_o be_v the_o most_o material_a witness_n against_o i_o i_o hope_v your_o lordship_n and_o the_o court_n will_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o not_o only_o he_o have_v be_v offer_v receive_v and_o take_v money_n to_o discover_v the_o design_n and_o witness_v against_o i_o but_o also_o in_o regard_n to_o whatsoever_o he_o swear_v as_o that_o i_o shall_v
