when_o they_o be_v die_v assert_v their_o innocency_n with_o the_o high_a asseveration_n but_o they_o will_v find_v very_o great_a reason_n to_o alter_v their_o opinion_n if_o they_o take_v but_o

their_o main_a artifice_n be_v that_o which_o they_o call_v mental_a equivocation_n because_o of_o a_o double_a sense_n in_o some_o proposition_n partly_o express_v and_o partly_o reserve_v in_o their_o mind_n so_o that_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v true_a in_o their_o own_o sense_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o mental_a reservation_n but_o false_a in_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o that_o hear_v it_o the_o use_n of_o this_o be_v allow_v by_o all_o sort_n of_o papist_n and_o particular_o the_o jesuit_n it_o be_v a_o art_n more_o dear_a to_o they_o and_o often_o use_v by_o they_o then_o any_o other_o fraudulent_a art_n whatever_o because_o this_o fraud_n be_v more_o easy_a less_o discernible_a and_o the_o advantage_n of_o it_o admirable_a and_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n that_o they_o do_v not_o decline_v it_o at_o trial_n in_o court_n of_o judicature_n no_o nor_o when_o they_o be_v die_v and_o approach_v the_o tribunial_n of_o the_o great_a judge_n though_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n

plotter_n say_v that_o garnet_n be_v privy_a to_o the_o treason_n but_o afterward_o just_a before_o his_o death_n take_v it_o upon_o his_o salvation_n that_o he_o have_v accuse_v garnet_n wrongful_o and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o see_v he_o of_o sixteen_o year_n before_o and_o so_o die_v but_o this_o his_o protestation_n and_o oath_n be_v soon_o after_o prove_v notorious_o false_a yea_o garnet_n himself_o confess_v that_o within_o sixteen_o year_n he_o have_v see_v he_o many_o time_n whereupon_o be_v ask_v what_o be_v think_v of_o treshams_n die_a oath_n and_o protestation_n he_o answer_v possible_o tresham_n mean_v to_o equivocate_v and_o this_o very_a doctrine_n of_o equivocation_n be_v justify_v by_o garnet_n in_o a_o manuscript_n leave_v by_o he_o which_o be_v communicate_v by_o

therefore_o we_o need_v not_o be_v surprise_v to_o find_v any_o papist_n use_v this_o art_n in_o his_o last_o speech_n but_o their_o principle_n be_v further_a considerable_a of_o which_o take_v
