passage_n which_o have_v be_v in_o the_o case_n of_o sir_n john_n stawel_n from_o the_o 18_o of_o july_n 1646._o which_o be_v the_o time_n of_o his_o first_o come_v to_o london_n from_o exeter_n unto_o the_o year_n 1652._o at_o which_o time_n he_o be_v arraign_v before_o the_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n i_o have_v do_v that_o former_o even_o upon_o the_o first_o sight_n of_o that_o

at_o the_o bar_n of_o the_o say_v court_n 2._o second_o because_o the_o scandal_n mention_v in_o the_o say_a pamphlet_n be_v so_o apparent_o false_a and_o improbable_a that_o any_o one_o who_o have_v

shall_v do_v what_o i_o conceive_v myself_o at_o this_o time_n oblige_v unto_o viz._n clear_o prove_v by_o undeniable_a argument_n and_o circumstance_n that_o he_o never_o intend_v to_o compound_v at_o all_o but_o resolve_v on_o the_o contrary_a flatter_a himself_o with_o hope_n of_o see_v the_o late_a king_n restore_v to_o his_o power_n and_o greatness_n from_o who_o he_o may_v receive_v not_o only_o his_o whole_a estate_n which_o be_v unjust_o take_v from_o he_o as_o he_o constant_o affirm_v but_o also_o a_o great_a reward_n for_o his_o many_o suffering_n in_o own_v and_o defend_v the_o

stawell_n unto_o a_o committee_n where_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n may_v be_v thorough_o examine_v to_o the_o end_n that_o my_o testimony_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n may_v not_o

which_o be_v full_o clear_v in_o that_o discourse_n which_o i_o do_v then_o write_v which_o be_v as_o follow_v first_o that_o although_o sir_n john_n stawell_n do_v appear_v at_o the_o committee_n of_o goldsmith_n hall_n about_o four_o day_n before_o the_o time_n limit_v by_o the_o article_n of_o exeter_n for_o composition_n be_v expire_v yet_o he_o never_o intend_v to_o make_v any_o

say_a sir_n edward_n stawell_n for_o that_o he_o have_v write_v letter_n unto_o mr._n ashe_n for_o his_o admission_n to_o composition_n since_o his_o father_n refuse_v it_o some_o of_o which_o letter_n sir_n john_n stawell_n intercept_v 2_o that_o sir_n john_n stawel_n do_v whole_o depend_v upon_o the_o late_a king_n restore_v to_o his_o power_n and_o authority_n that_o from_o he_o he_o may_v receive_v not_o only_o his_o whole_a estate_n than_o unjust_o take_v from_o he_o by_o the_o parliament_n as_o he_o say_v but_o also_o a_o great_a reward_n for_o his_o many_o suffering_n in_o own_v and_o justify_v the_o late_a king_n cause_n beyond_o any_o other_o of_o his_o party_n and_o do_v send_v to_o the_o say_a king_n when_o he_o be_v last_o at_o hampton_n court_n desire_v he_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o great_a suffering_n he_o have_v undergo_v for_o his_o majesty_n cause_n and_o do_v let_v he_o know_v the_o hope_n he_o have_v of_o his_o majesty_n great_a favour_n and_o reward_v when_o he_o shall_v be_v restore_v and_o upon_o this_o confidence_n do_v sir_n john_n stawell_n neglect_v his_o composition_n and_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n of_o exeter_n article_n 3._o that_o sir_n john_n stawell_n during_o the_o life_n of_o the_o late_a king_n and_o after_o his_o first_o appearance_n at_o goldsmith_n hall_n do_v never_o tender_a any_o petition_n for_o his_o
