therefore_o he_o swear_v beyond_o the_o sphere_n of_o his_o knowledge_n and_o howsoever_o it_o be_v material_o true_a yet_o it_o be_v formal_o false_a in_o he_o who_o swear_v at_o random_n and_o call_v god_n to_o witness_v his_o certainty_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o a_o matter_n which_o he_o can_v know_v whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o false_a yea_o which_o he_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o believe_v to_o be_v false_a than_o true_a according_a to_o his_o own_o oath_n as_o afterward_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o deposition_n that_o after_o i_o come_v to_o england_n and_o when_o i_o live_v in_o kent_n an._n 1673_o i_o be_v much_o give_v to_o swear_v that_o to_o be_v true_a which_o be_v not_o so_o then_o thus_o i_o argue_v ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la all_o the_o intelligence_n that_o oat_n have_v of_o my_o have_v be_v in_o barbary_n and_o a_o slave_n there_o proceed_v from_o my_o own_o information_n to_o several_a person_n before_o it_o come_v to_o his_o hand_n and_o therefore_o see_v i_o be_v the_o sole_a author_n of_o the_o narrative_a of_o my_o captivity_n oat_n have_v more_o reason_n to_o believe_v it_o false_a than_o otherwise_o and_o beside_o the_o account_n of_o my_o

to_o doubt_v whether_o ever_o i_o be_v in_o barbary_n or_o not_o so_o that_o oat_n by_o swear_v positive_o that_o i_o be_v carry_v a_o slave_n into_o barbary_n have_v swear_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o which_o he_o can_v not_o be_v certain_a of_o and_o which_o he_o have_v much_o more_o reason_n to_o believe_v to_o be_v false_a 2._o as_o to_o the_o second_o particular_a that_o there_o viz._n in_o barbary_n it_o be_v general_o and_o credible_o report_v that_o i_o be_v circumcise_a this_o oath_n be_v also_o rash_a and_o therefore_o false_a and_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v prove_v so_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n as_o the_o former_a because_o oat_n never_o be_v at_o salle_n the_o place_n of_o my_o captivity_n and_o consequent_o can_v not_o certain_o know_v what_o be_v general_o and_o credible_o report_v there_o moreover_o whereas_o he_o swear_v it_o be_v general_o and_o credible_o report_v it_o seem_v very_o probable_a that_o if_o he_o swear_v true_a and_o do_v not_o contradict_v his_o conscience_n he_o can_v produce_v some_o of_o those_o person_n who_o he_o know_v to_o be_v credible_a but_o i_o challenge_v he_o and_o all_o mankind_n to_o produce_v one_o person_n who_o ever_o attest_v or_o report_v that_o i_o be_v circumcise_a until_o about_o three_o year_n ago_o titus_n oates_n bring_v this_o lie_n and_o a_o great_a many_o other_o into_o the_o world_n see_v then_o he_o can_v produce_v one_o of_o those_o many_o witness_n who_o credit_n he_o much_o rely_v upon_o its_o probable_a he_o swear_v malicious_o as_o well_o as_o false_o but_o however_o it_o be_v certain_a he_o

to_o answer_v the_o importunity_n of_o my_o friend_n and_o to_o disabuse_v any_o who_o may_v be_v delude_v by_o the_o malicious_a calumny_n of_o my_o nettle_v adversary_n i_o have_v adventure_v to_o

shall_v first_o give_v a_o short_a narrative_n of_o my_o travail_n captivity_n and_o escape_n from_o slavery_n in_o barbary_n which_o though_o it_o may_v seem_v foreign_a and_o impertinent_a to_o my_o

some_o rare_a accident_n and_o almost_o miraculous_a instance_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o my_o deliverance_n from_o a_o moorish_a captivity_n i_o presume_v it_o will_v make_v some_o compensation_n for_o the_o impertinence_n which_o it_o seem_o carry_v to_o the_o design_n of_o these_o sheet_n in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v faithful_o set_v down_o what_o the_o doctor_n have_v depose_v against_o i_o upon_o oath_n under_o his_o own_o hand_n at_o doctor_n commons_o and_o what_o be_v prove_v in_o court_n at_o our_o trial_n by_o unexceptionable_a witness_n that_o he_o have_v say_v several_a time_n against_o i_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n with_o what_o he_o swear_v before_o and_o in_o the_o three_o place_n i_o shall_v give_v a_o account_n of_o what_o be_v swear_v in_o his_o behalf_n to_o mitigate_v damage_n upon_o all_o which_o i_o shall_v only_o make_v such_o anirnad_n version_n as_o be_v pertinent_a and_o proper_a and_o draw_v such_o inference_n as_o the_o matter_n will_v rational_o allow_v and_o then_o i_o refer_v myself_o to_o the_o whole_a nation_n as_o judge_n whether_o or_o no_o the_o doctor_n have_v not_o only_o false_o and_o malicious_o defame_v i_o but_o likewise_o swear_v that_o to_o be_v true_a which_o in_o itself_o be_v false_a and_o to_o his_o own_o knowledge_n also_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o i_o can_v see_v how_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o doctor_n be_v guilty_a of_o perjury_n for_o though_o in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n and_o before_o god_n perjury_n and_o false_a swear_n be_v synonymous_a yet_o none_o be_v esteem_v guilty_a of_o perjury_n by_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n but_o who_o have_v be_v convict_v of_o swear_v false_o in_o a_o court_n of_o record_n but_o the_o court_n of_o delegate_n where_o

be_v porsworn_v yet_o i_o can_v say_v that_o the_o doctor_n be_v perjure_a and_o consequent_o that_o the_o pillory_n have_v never_o be_v adequate_a to_o the_o doctor_n be_v high_a merit_n a_o wooden_a
