make_v a_o assault_n upon_o he_o and_o will_v have_v kill_v he_o for_o be_v ready_a to_o appear_v against_o my_o lord_n aston_n at_o his_o intend_a trial_n so_o that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n that_o

for_o this_o plot_n not_o only_o for_o his_o own_o curiosity_n but_o for_o the_o service_n of_o his_o lord_n who_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o accusation_n that_o this_o man_n shall_v be_v a_o fellow_n of_o king_n college_n seem_v strange_a and_o till_o it_o be_v better_o prove_v will_v hardly_o be_v believe_v nor_o will_v he_o deserve_v any_o credit_n it_o be_v true_a he_o do_v acknowledge_v himself_o a_o protestant_n and_o to_o be_v of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o educate_v as_o he_o say_v a_o presbyterian_a but_o when_o he_o be_v ask_v when_o he_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n

because_o neither_o philip_n nor_o sambidge_n remember_v it_o now_o whether_o dugdale_n swear_v true_a in_o that_o or_o no_o do_v not_o depend_v upon_o dugdale_n own_o credit_n alone_o but_o you_o have_v hear_v other_o witness_n have_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o do_v swear_v true_a so_o that_o we_o need_v not_o say_v any_o thing_n more_o to_o this_o witness_n nor_o to_o gifford_n who_o

will_v please_v likewise_o to_o observe_v that_o this_o be_v not_o real_o a_o expression_n that_o be_v clear_a one_o way_n or_o the_o other_a but_o capable_a of_o two_o sense_n that_o be_v to_o say_v either_o it_o may_v import_v hobson_n tell_v he_o there_o be_v a_o design_n ever_o since_o the_o almoner_n howard_n go_v away_o or_o it_o may_v import_v hobson_n tell_v he_o present_o after_o the_o

dugdale_n can_v not_o intend_v that_o hobson_n tell_v he_o so_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o almoner_n go_v away_o because_o hobson_n go_v away_o with_o the_o almoner_n and_o it_o be_v better_a to_o his_o

with_o the_o priest_n or_o jesuit_n but_o be_v a_o mean_a contemptible_a person_n and_o that_o all_o he_o say_v be_v improbable_a but_o now_o your_o lordship_n have_v hear_v that_o dr._n oat_n even_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o dennis_n a_o popish_a priest_n that_o be_v so_o to_o this_o day_n be_v in_o spain_n be_v according_a to_o what_o he_o say_v bring_v up_o in_o the_o college_n of_o the_o

concern_v this_o particular_a lord_n but_o of_o his_o testimony_n touch_v the_o general_a plot._n there_o be_v another_o thing_n wherein_o dr._n oat_n be_v support_v by_o another_o witness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o esteem_n and_o intimacy_n he_o have_v with_o the_o jesuit_n for_o mr._n jenison_n swear_v that_o dr._n oat_n be_v a_o man_n in_o esteem_n among_o they_o that_o he_o be_v at_o

to_o dr._n
to_o give_v some_o reason_n to_o your_o lordship_n why_o those_o law_n that_o be_v against_o they_o shall_v be_v repeal_v as_o well_o protestant_n dissenter_n as_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o
