king_n which_o mr._n porter_n have_v charge_v himself_o with_o and_o notwithstanding_o which_o they_o have_v not_o offer_v that_o as_o a_o exception_n against_o mr._n porter_n evidence_n for_o they_o very_o well_o know_v his_o evidence_n have_v be_v receive_v and_o credit_v mr._n goodman_n may_v be_v credit_v though_o guilty_a of_o the_o crime_n object_v to_o he_o and_o the_o constant_a practice_n in_o all_o trial_n of_o this_o kind_n have_v be_v that_o it_o do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o witness_n evidence_n however_o it_o affect_v his_o credit_n which_o in_o this_o case_n be_v support_v by_o the_o concurrent_a testimony_n of_o mr._n porter_n and_o so_o then_o i_o say_v we_o have_v two_o legal_a witness_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o exception_n to_o prove_v mr._n cook_n guilty_a of_o the_o crime_n for_o which_o he_o be_v indict_v then_o they_o go_v on_o further_a and_o produce_v other_o witness_n first_o they_o produce_v one_o edwards_n a_o person_n that_o be_v commit_v for_o high_a treason_n himself_o and_o under_o suspicion_n of_o his_o be_v to_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o be_v to_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o assassination_n but_o his_o evidence_n go_v no_o further_o than_o that_o mr._n goodman_n tell_v he_o he_o be_v to_o be_v a_o witness_n against_o mr._n cook_n and_o either_o he_o the_o witness_n or_o mr._n cook_n must_v suffer_v and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o foolish_a thing_n to_o be_v hang_v my_o lord_n there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o this_o matter_n that_o take_v away_o mr._n goodman_n evidence_n it_o be_v very_o plain_a mr._n goodman_n have_v forfeit_v his_o life_n and_o must_v do_v something_o to_o save_v it_o and_o i_o think_v he_o can_v not_o do_v a_o better_a service_n to_o entitle_v himself_o to_o the_o king_n mercy_n than_o to_o discover_v those_o that_o be_v equal_o guilty_a with_o himself_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o have_v do_v it_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v in_o danger_n and_o if_o he_o have_v do_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v his_o duty_n i_o hope_v that_o be_v no_o objection_n against_o his_o testimony_n they_o have_v produce_v likewise_o a_o drawer_n of_o the_o kings-head_n tavern_n one_o crawford_n and_o he_o say_v he_o attend_v in_o this_o room_n while_o this_o company_n be_v there_o but_o then_o he_o go_v a_o little_a further_o than_o the_o council_n or_o the_o prisoner_n will_v have_v have_v he_o for_o they_o call_v he_o to_o prove_v that_o mr._n goodman_n be_v not_o there_o when_o my_o lord_n of_o ailesbury_n my_o lord_n montgomery_n and_o mr._n cook_n be_v there_o but_o when_o the_o drawer_n come_v he_o know_v nothing_o of_o mr._n goodman_n be_v there_o at_o all_o he_o say_v mr._n cook_n be_v there_o but_o not_o mr._n goodman_n and_o yet_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o mr._n goodman_n may_v be_v there_o and_o he_o not_o see_v he_o come_v up_o he_o acknowledge_v he_o attend_v upon_o other_o company_n as_o well_o as_o this_o so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o nature_n 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 swear_v that_o goodman_n be_v there_o but_o then_o they_o produce_v another_o drawer_n and_o that_o be_v one_o huntley_n and_o he_o give_v the_o same_o account_n only_o indeed_o he_o say_v he_o be_v there_o all_o the_o while_o they_o be_v at_o dinner_n but_o that_o be_v nothing_o because_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v both_o by_o mr._n porter_n and_o mr._n goodman_n that_o he_o be_v not_o there_o at_o dinnertime_n but_o he_o may_v be_v there_o after_o dinner_n and_o yet_o huntly_n can_v not_o see_v he_o at_o dinner_n he_o tell_v you_o likewise_o he_o pass_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o room_n afterward_o and_o do_v not_o see_v mr._n goodman_n there_o but_o yet_o he_o may_v be_v there_o and_o he_o not_o see_v he_o then_o they_o produce_v the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n and_o he_o give_v much_o the_o same_o evidence_n in_o effect_n which_o his_o servant_n do_v that_o he_o do_v not_o see_v mr._n goodman_n there_o all_o the_o while_n but_o he_o say_v something_o that_o be_v a_o little_a incredible_a he_o can_v be_v positive_a that_o mr._n goodman_n be_v not_o there_o while_o my_o lord_n of_o ailesbury_n be_v there_o but_o he_o can_v be_v positive_a that_o he_o be_v not_o there_o afterward_o he_o tell_v you_o he_o meet_v my_o lord_n of_o ailesbury_n and_o my_o lord_n montgomery_n upon_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o stair_n come_v down_o and_o he_o be_v sure_a mr._n goodman_n be_v not_o in_o the_o room_n at_o that_o time_n now_o be_v that_o possible_a that_o he_o can_v be_v sure_a of_o that_o when_o he_o own_v and_o can_v but_o own_o that_o mr._n goodman_n may_v go_v into_o the_o room_n and_o he_o not_o see_v he_o so_o that_o he_o have_v make_v a_o strain_n in_o his_o evidence_n that_o it_o be_v very_o little_a to_o be_v credit_v which_o be_v not_o design_v so_o much_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 only_a mr._n goodman_n who_o swear_v that_o he_o be_v there_o but_o they_o likewise_o falsify_v the_o evidence_n of_o mr._n porter_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n i_o ask_v mr._n porter_n the_o question_n whether_o he_o do_v not_o give_v the_o same_o evidence_n against_o sir_n john_n friend_n and_o if_o what_o he_o swear_v now_o be_v not_o true_a neither_o be_v it_o true_a when_o sir_n john_n friend_n be_v try_v for_o he_o be_v the_o only_a witness_n at_o that_o time_n against_o sir_n john_n friend_n for_o this_o meeting_n and_o therefore_o these_o man_n testimony_n tend_v to_o overthrow_v both_o witness_n as_o well_o as_o one_o and_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o if_o mr._n goodman_n be_v not_o a_o legal_a witness_n because_o he_o have_v swear_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o true_a than_o mr._n porter_n be_v not_o a_o good_a witness_n who_o have_v swear_v the_o same_o thing_n viz._n that_o mr._n goodman_n be_v there_o and_o than_o you_o ought_v to_o acquit_v the_o prisoner_n because_o there_o be_v no_o witness_n against_o he_o at_o law_n for_o there_o be_v the_o same_o evidence_n against_o mr._n porter_n that_o there_o be_v against_o mr._n goodman_n as_o to_o this_o matter_n then_o gentlemen_z as_o for_o the_o character_n of_o mr._n cook_n they_o say_v he_o be_v a_o good_a english_a protestant_n i_o hope_v he_o be_v so_o but_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o religion_n do_v not_o vary_v the_o case_n it_o be_v within_o the_o reach_n of_o every_o man_n memory_n that_o be_v here_o that_o the_o same_o thing_n have_v fall_v upon_o other_o gentleman_n that_o have_v have_v the_o same_o character_n particular_o sir_n john_n friend_n and_o sir_n william_n parkyns_n who_o both_o say_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o the_o same_o place_n that_o they_o be_v true_a protestant_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o that_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o evidence_n that_o will_v be_v of_o weight_n against_o positive_a oath_n now_o gentleman_n it_o be_v fit_a likewise_o you_o shall_v reflect_v upon_o another_o thing_n what_o be_v it_o that_o shall_v engage_v mr._n porter_n and_o mr._n goodman_n or_o invite_v either_o of_o those_o two_o gentleman_n to_o give_v a_o false_a evidence_n against_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v any_o injury_n do_v by_o he_o to_o they_o to_o provoke_v they_o to_o it_o so_o that_o it_o can_v
