and_o murder_v the_o king_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v concern_v in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o assassinate_v his_o royal_a person_n and_o i_o believe_v no_o body_n can_v think_v that_o those_o that_o be_v to_o act_v in_o the_o assassination_n will_v have_v attempt_v to_o engage_v in_o such_o a_o desperate_a design_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o the_o french_a

the_o attempt_n it_o be_v less_o black_a than_o the_o other_o they_o be_v both_o crime_n of_o a_o very_a high_a nature_n and_o equal_o high-treason_n and_o if_o we_o prove_v the_o prisoner_n guilty_a

of_o the_o thing_n and_o his_o own_o confession_n that_o goodman_n may_v be_v there_o this_o can_v take_v off_o the_o positive_a evidence_n of_o mr._n goodman_n and_o mr._n porter_n who_o both_o

for_o the_o advantage_n of_o mr._n cook_n as_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o somebody_o else_o and_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v almost_o a_o impossible_a thing_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v true_a by_o what_o he_o offer_v as_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o evidence_n but_o then_o gentlemen_z you_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o all_o these_o three_o witness_n if_o they_o swear_v true_a do_v falsify_v not_o

to_o establish_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o evidence_n on_o the_o king_n part_n they_o do_v produce_v mr._n goodman_n and_o mr._n porter_n again_o mr._n goodman_n do_v acknowledge_v so_o far_o to_o
