abundance_n of_o a_o bleeding-soul_n you_o have_v hear_v that_o i_o be_v one_o of_o the_o jury_n upon_o january_n last_o past_a when_o there_o be_v some_o person_n call_v quaker_n to_o be_v try_v for_o the_o breach_n of_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n entitle_v a_o act_n to_o prevent_v and_o suppress_v seditious_a conventicle_n and_o upon_o their_o trial_n bring_v in_o guilty_a now_o as_o to_o the_o breach_n of_o which_o act_n you_o may_v judge_v that_o they_o be_v not_o guilty_a according_a to_o the_o literal_a meaning_n of_o it_o and_o your_o trouble_n as_o i_o understand_v do_v arise_v from_o this_o that_o i_o shall_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o such_o a_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v to_o the_o ruine_n of_o many_o poor_a soul_n that_o be_v as_o i_o judge_v altogether_o innocent_a now_o for_o your_o satisfaction_n in_o this_o case_n i_o judge_v it_o no_o less_o than_o my_o duty_n to_o declare_v to_o you_o and_o the_o whole_a world_n the_o whole_a state_n of_o the_o case_n which_o be_v as_o follow_v i_o be_v summon_v to_o appear_v at_o justice-hall_n in_o the_o old_a bailie_n upon_o the_o jury_n on_o the_o 13_o of_o january_n i_o do_v not_o use_v that_o mean_v to_o get_v off_o as_o otherwise_o i_o may_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o much_o about_o this_o time_n twelvemonth_n i_o be_v summon_v in_o the_o like_a nature_n but_o not_o impanel_v and_o so_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v not_o now_o at_o this_o time_n but_o herein_o my_o expectation_n fail_v i_o and_o be_v mistake_v upon_o that_o account_n i_o be_v impanel_v and_o do_v attend_v upon_o the_o business_n of_o the_o time_n for_o two_o day_n but_o before_o i_o be_v on_o the_o jury_n i_o do_v inquire_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o person_n to_o be_v try_v as_o be_v call_v quaker_n and_o i_o be_v then_o inform_v that_o there_o be_v none_o and_o then_o i_o be_v the_o more_o indifferent_a in_o the_o business_n but_o upon_o the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n i_o do_v hear_v there_o be_v some_o such_o person_n as_o be_v beforementioned_a to_o be_v try_v at_o the_o hear_n of_o which_o i_o be_v much_o trouble_v and_o do_v not_o know_v what_o to_o do_v and_o have_v many_o reason_n in_o myself_o i_o come_v to_o this_o conclusion_n that_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a for_o i_o to_o use_v mean_n to_o get_v off_o and_o that_o first_o because_o i_o be_v call_v thereunto_o also_o suppose_v i_o may_v be_v a_o instrument_n of_o good_a withal_o think_v that_o they_o be_v not_o breaker_n of_o that_o act_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o can_v be_v make_v of_o it_o but_o for_o i_o to_o relate_v all_o those_o thing_n that_o pass_v there_o be_v not_o the_o business_n that_o be_v necessary_a in_o this_o work_n but_o only_o this_o that_o when_o they_o be_v call_v to_o the_o bar_n and_o the_o indictment_n be_v read_v which_o be_v for_o be_v at_o a_o unlawful_a meeting_n or_o conventicle_n contrary_a to_o the_o lyturgie_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o be_v ask_v whether_o they_o be_v guilty_a or_o not_o guilty_a the_o answer_v that_o many_o of_o they_o make_v be_v this_o not_o guilty_a of_o break_v of_o any_o righteous_a law_n of_o god_n other_o that_o they_o be_v innocent_a and_o the_o like_a answer_n be_v give_v by_o they_o the_o witness_n be_v call_v they_o be_v ask_v whether_o such_o and_o such_o name_v of_o their_o name_n be_v at_o the_o bull_n and_o mouth_n the_o witness_n find_v of_o their_o name_n in_o a_o paper_n which_o they_o have_v in_o their_o hand_n reply_v yes_o my_o lord_n they_o be_v there_o such_o evidence_n as_o this_o i_o think_v will_v be_v strange_a and_o very_a slender_a to_o bring_v person_n in_o guilty_a of_o the_o breach_n of_o that_o late_a act_n of_o parliament_n for_o the_o most_o that_o any_o of_o they_o do_v say_v as_o to_o what_o they_o do_v there_o one_o of_o the_o witness_n say_v that_o they_o be_v there_o a_o prate_n when_o the_o witness_n have_v do_v and_o the_o prisoner_n have_v leave_v to_o speak_v for_o themselves_o the_o judge_n ask_v they_o whether_o they_o be_v at_o the_o bull_n and_o mouth_n some_o of_o they_o answer_v they_o be_v there_o and_o be_v ask_v what_o they_o do_v there_o some_o answer_v they_o be_v there_o to_o worship_n god_n then_o say_v the_o judge_n it_o be_v enough_o and_o other_o say_v that_o they_o be_v there_o and_o meet_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n he_o also_o reply_v that_o be_v enough_o but_o god_n forbid_v that_o any_o ruler_n or_o governor_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n shall_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o crime_n to_o worship_n god_n and_o to_o meet_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n when_o they_o have_v answer_v the_o judge_n in_o this_o manner_n he_o tell_v we_o the_o business_n be_v so_o clear_a that_o we_o need_v not_o go_v from_o the_o place_n but_o that_o we_o may_v give_v in_o our_o verdict_n present_o and_o moreover_o that_o whereas_o every_o one_o of_o they_o be_v convict_v twice_o before_o before_o two_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n we_o have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v but_o to_o find_v whether_o they_o be_v there_o or_o no._n but_o some_o not_o be_v willing_a to_o make_v so_o light_a of_o a_o thing_n of_o such_o great_a concernment_n we_o do_v i_o mean_v the_o jury_n all_o withdraw_v when_o we_o be_v altogether_o the_o foreman_n of_o the_o jury_n do_v begin_v to_o declare_v his_o opinion_n in_o these_o word_n that_o the_o business_n be_v so_o clear_a we_o need_v not_o spend_v time_n about_o it_o but_o go_v and_o carry_v they_o in_o guilty_a this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o many_o at_o the_o hear_n of_o which_o i_o tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v not_o my_o judgement_n so_o to_o do_v and_o although_o the_o eleven_o be_v against_o i_o i_o be_v and_o must_v be_v against_o such_o a_o verdict_n and_o my_o reason_n for_o my_o so_o say_v be_v these_o that_o follow_v 1._o first_o because_o there_o be_v no_o witness_n to_o prove_v what_o they_o do_v there_o it_o be_v true_a one_o of_o the_o witness_n say_v that_o they_o be_v there_o a_o pate_v that_o law_n as_o i_o do_v understand_v do_v not_o condemn_v man_n for_o be_v at_o the_o bull_n and_o mouth_n neither_o do_v it_o condemn_v man_n for_o prate_v there_o and_o although_o they_o be_v there_o and_o as_o they_o say_v meet_v there_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o judge_v that_o it_o take_v hold_v on_o such_o that_o shall_v so_o do_v because_o i_o judge_v that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o man_n and_o in_o all_o place_n to_o meet_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n 2._o a_o second_o reason_n i_o do_v then_o urge_v be_v this_o that_o the_o act_n and_o indictment_n say_v contrary_a to_o the_o lyturgie_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o tell_v they_o that_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_v very_o ignorant_a of_o the_o lyturgy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o can_v not_o make_v they_o guilty_a of_o the_o breach_n of_o a_o thing_n i_o know_v not_o for_o in_o such_o a_o case_n no_o man_n be_v fit_a for_o a_o juryman_n but_o what_o be_v well-learned_a in_o the_o lyturgy_n 3._o three_o because_o as_o i_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o indictment_n run_v for_o be_v at_o a_o conventicle_n which_o i_o tell_v they_o that_o by_o a_o conventicle_n as_o i_o do_v understand_v for_o what_o man_n can_v judge_v more_o than_o he_o know_v be_v a_o meeting_n together_o of_o some_o person_n for_o to_o act_v against_o the_o king_n and_o government_n but_o we_o can_v not_o find_v that_o any_o thing_n be_v act_v there_o tend_v unto_o any_o such_o thing_n 4._o four_o because_o as_o i_o do_v understand_v that_o that_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o the_o
