credit_n and_o reputation_n mr._n justice_n dolben_n the_o jury_n be_v to_o consider_v of_o that_o mr._n justice_n dolben_n look_v you_o gentleman_n these_o two_o prisoner_n stand_v indict_v of_o high_a treason_n and_o it_o be_v for_o conspire_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n and_o other_o heinous_a crime_n as_o design_v the_o subvert_v the_o government_n and_o bring_v in_o the_o popish_a religion_n now_o the_o witness_n that_o have_v be_v produce_v against_o thwing_n be_v bolron_n and_o mowbray_n and_o against_o pressicks_n mr._n bolron_n mrs._n bolron_n senior_a and_o junior_a and_o one_o hutchinson_n and_o the_o evidence_n against_o thwing_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o against_o the_o woman_n quite_o another_o there_o be_v no_o evidence_n against_o she_o but_o what_o they_o hear_v she_o say_v other_o be_v to_o do_v there_o be_v no_o evidence_n of_o any_o action_n of_o she_o or_o that_o she_o be_v present_a at_o any_o consultation_n nor_o act_v any_o thing_n there_o but_o that_o she_o say_v so_o and_o so_o now_o mr._n bolron_n and_o his_o grandmother_n do_v both_o say_v that_o she_o say_v pickering_n be_v to_o have_v kill_v the_o king_n and_o that_o she_o be_v sorry_a that_o he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o that_o the_o gun_n with_o which_o he_o shall_v have_v do_v it_o be_v find_v and_o she_o be_v afraid_a that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o death_n and_o they_o all_o say_v she_o say_v that_o it_o will_v be_v never_o well_o with_o england_n till_o the_o catholic_n have_v get_v the_o upper_a hand_n and_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n be_v king_n now_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o a_o bare_a say_n of_o this_o do_v not_o amount_v to_o high_a treason_n unless_o you_o do_v believe_v from_o these_o word_n that_o she_o know_v otherwise_o then_o by_o

but_o if_o she_o only_o know_v it_o by_o hearsay_n the_o bare_a knowledge_n and_o conceal_n of_o it_o will_v make_v her_o guilty_a of_o misprision_n of_o treason_n but_o know_v of_o it_o bare_o by_o report_n do_v not_o make_v her_o guilty_a of_o high_a treason_n my_o brother_n will_v tell_v you_o his_o opinion_n herein_o now_o for_o mr._n thwing_n the_o evidence_n against_o he_o be_v very_a home_n for_o they_o both_o swear_v against_o himone_v to_o one_o meeting_n and_o the_o other_o to_o another_o that_o he_o be_v present_a at_o their_o consulttaion_n to_o kill_v the_o king_n subvert_v the_o government_n and_o to_o bring_v in_o the_o popish_a religion_n that_o he_o do_v agree_v at_o the_o meeting_n to_o the_o kill_v of_o the_o king_n they_o do_v both_o swear_v and_o this_o they_o say_v be_v at_o sir_n thomas_n gascoynes_n and_o that_o at_o the_o several_a meeting_n there_o be_v a_o list_n produce_v but_o bolron_n say_v that_o the_o list_v when_o he_o be_v present_a be_v a_o list_n of_o those_o that_o be_v engage_v towards_o the_o carry_v on_o of_o the_o nunnery_n that_o which_o the_o other_o speak_v of_o be_v a_o list_n of_o those_o that_o be_v engage_v about_o the_o kill_a the_o king_n about_o the_o whole_a design_n which_o be_v to_o be_v effect_v by_o kill_v the_o king_n this_o he_o swear_v that_o thwing_n do_v produce_v this_o list_n and_o mowbray_n say_v that_o three_o or_o four_o priest_n be_v present_a at_o that_o time_n and_o that_o thwing_n say_v the_o king_n be_v a_o heretic_n and_o excommunicate_v by_o the_o pope_n and_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o meritorious_a to_o kill_v he_o so_o that_o admit_v this_o evidence_n be_v true_a it_o be_v a_o full_a evidence_n of_o high_a treason_n against_o he_o here_o be_v a_o imagine_v the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n and_o here_o be_v a_o overt_a act_n here_o be_v a_o set_a hand_n to_o it_o so_o that_o if_o this_o be_v true_a thwing_n be_v guilty_a of_o high_a treason_n now_o against_o this_o they_o have_v produce_v many_o witness_n and_o none_o of_o they_o do_v go_v about_o to_o prove_v this_o impossible_a but_o only_a improbable_a but_o one_o that_o be_v a_o groom_n of_o sir_n thomas_n gascoyne_n who_o say_v he_o be_v but_o once_o or_o twice_o that_o year_n there_o and_o not_o at_o easter_n but_o about_o michaelmas_n be_v that_o enough_o to_o answer_v the_o testimony_n of_o these_o two_o man_n gentleman_n for_o a_o groom_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o say_v two_o year_n after_o who_o be_v at_o his_o master_n house_n and_o how_o often_o and_o what_o time_n of_o the_o year_n be_v to_o i_o a_o very_a strange_a thing_n unless_o it_o be_v one_o that_o be_v never_o use_v to_o to_o come_v there_o but_o this_o man_n he_o say_v do_v use_v to_o come_v there_o but_o that_o i_o must_v leave_v to_o you_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o witness_n be_v the_o same_o that_o be_v examine_v yesterday_o first_o they_o insist_v concern_v mr._n lowther_n they_o say_v that_o when_o mr._n bolron_n first_o go_v to_o mr._n lowther_n he_o say_v nothing_o of_o mr._n thwing_n but_o it_o appear_v he_o say_v then_o that_o afterward_o he_o may_v remember_v more_o than_o the_o man_n be_v under_o a_o great_a consternation_n and_o tell_v he_o the_o great_a and_o dangerous_a consequence_n of_o have_v so_o long_o conceal_v it_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o that_o disorder_n upon_o he_o but_o he_o say_v he_o shall_v remember_v more_o afterward_o and_o so_o he_o do_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o witness_n do_v all_o go_v this_o purpose_n that_o either_o bolron_n or_o mowbray_n shall_v tell_v they_o at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o they_o do_v know_v nothing_o of_o the_o plot_n nor_o against_o sir_n thomas_n gascoigne_n and_o some_o of_o they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v out_o of_o malice_n to_o sir_n thomas_n family_n for_o so_o thwing_n will_v have_v it_o he_o be_v his_o nephew_n that_o the_o malice_n shall_v reach_v to_o mr._n thwing_n that_o they_o will_v have_v it_o and_o something_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n they_o do_v offer_v against_o mr._n mowbray_n now_o here_o be_v one_o walker_n that_o swear_v that_o bolron_n ask_v she_o if_o she_o know_v thwing_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o offer_v she_o 10_o l._n to_o swear_v he_o a_o priest_n she_o be_v a_o servant_n of_o one_o mrs._n lassel_n mr._n thwing_n sister_n he_o come_v to_o mrs._n lassel_n to_o search_v for_o priest_n it_o be_v something_o strange_a that_o he_o shall_v offer_v to_o persuade_v she_o to_o swear_v against_o thwing_n who_o be_v servant_n to_o his_o own_o sister_n and_o at_o the_o time_n when_o he_o come_v to_o search_v for_o priest_n the_o truth_n of_o it_o be_v the_o thing_n do_v depend_v pure_o upon_o the_o credit_n of_o witness_n the_o king_n witness_n be_v upon_o their_o oath_n but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o other_o be_v not_o on_o their_o oath_n but_o credit_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o what_o they_o say_v if_o you_o consider_v their_o evidence_n and_o do_v find_v a_o clearness_n in_o their_o testimony_n which_o you_o must_v weigh_v for_o certain_o he_o that_o solemn_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n will_v say_v a_o false_a thing_n will_v also_o dare_v to_o swear_v it_o how_o far_o their_o principle_n will_v carry_v they_o i_o know_v not_o i_o can_v see_v nothing_o but_o bolron_n and_o mowbray_n be_v good_a witness_n i_o do_v not_o see_v but_o what_o they_o say_v be_v coherent_a and_o that_o they_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o if_o you_o believe_v what_o they_o say_v to_o be_v true_a than_o thwing_n be_v guilty_a of_o high_a treason_n but_o if_o do_v not_o believe_v what_o they_o say_v be_v true_a but_o out_o of_o malice_n you_o must_v acquit_v he_o they_o do_v object_v the_o other_o jury_n do_v not_o believe_v bolron_n and_o mowbray_n the_o case_n with_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o they_o but_o you_o be_v to_o give_v your_o verdict_n according_a to_o the_o evidence_n that_o you_o have_v hear_v and_o according_a to_o your_o conscience_n mr._n baron_n atkyns_n gentleman_n of_o the_o jury_n i_o shall_v be_v very_o short_a the_o crime_n that_o be_v lay_v in_o this_o indictment_n and_o charge_v upon_o
