just_a begin_v to_o know_v mr._n oates_n in_o april_n be_v a_o twelvemonth_n and_o so_o oates_n swear_v too_o mr._n just_o pemberton_n and_o he_o say_v he_o know_v nothing_o whether_o you_o have_v a_o

it_o be_v plain_a there_o be_v a_o mistake_n in_o it_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o son_n that_o be_v then_o and_o be_v now_o alive_a and_o you_o speak_v of_o your_o elder_a son_n that_o die_v two_o year_n

say_v what_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o say_v langhorn_n my_o lord_n i_o be_o charge_v here_o by_o two_o witness_n the_o first_o be_v mr._n oat_n if_o i_o can_v prove_v any_o one_o point_n in_o answer_n to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v give_v in_o evidence_n not_o to_o be_v true_a than_o i_o conceive_v my_o lord_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v set_v aside_o and_o i_o think_v it_o have_v be_v clear_o prove_v that_o whereas_o he_o say_v sir_n tho._n preston_n come_v over_o with_o he_o in_o april_n it_o have_v be_v clear_o prove_v he_o be_v then_o at_o leaguer_n and_o whereas_o he_o have_v affirm_v sir_n john_n warner_n mr._n poole_n and_o two_o or_o three_o more_o that_o be_v at_o st._n omers_n come_v over_o with_o he_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o not_o to_o be_v true_a beyond_o any_o contradiction_n then_o as_o the_o witness_n about_o his_o own_o not_o come_v over_o in_o april_n mr._n hilsly_n say_v he_o come_v not_o over_o with_o he_o in_o the_o pacquet-boat_n and_o the_o other_o say_v that_o he_o be_v sick_a in_o the_o infirmary_n after_o mr._n hilsly_n come_v away_o these_o point_n be_v thus_o prove_v i_o think_v there_o can_v be_v no_o credit_n give_v to_o what_o he_o say_v for_o i_o can_v say_v and_o i_o know_v it_o to_o be_v truth_n that_o from_o november_n 1677_o to_o this_o very_a day_n i_o never_o see_v he_o i_o have_v be_v a_o close_a prisoner_n so_o long_o and_o have_v have_v but_o one_o week_n time_n to_o provide_v and_o therefore_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o take_v such_o information_n as_o my_o friend_n and_o relation_n can_v pick_v up_o to_o answer_v what_o he_o have_v say_v in_o his_o narrative_n suppose_v he_o will_v have_v say_v the_o same_o here_o therefore_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o make_v any_o better_a defence_n l._n ch._n just_a do_v you_o never_o know_v mr._n oates_n langhorn_n i_o have_v see_v he_o once_o or_o twice_o l._n ch._n just._n when_o be_v that_o langhorn_n in_o michaelmas_n term_n 1677._o l._n ch._n just_a upon_o what_o occasion_n langhorn_n he_o bring_v i_o a_o letter_n from_o one_o of_o my_o son_n my_o young_a son_n in_o spain_n and_o then_o he_o tell_v i_o he_o be_v go_v to_o st._n omers_n he_o say_v he_o can_v not_o and_o from_o that_o day_n i_o never_o see_v he_o till_o i_o see_v he_o in_o the_o court_n i_o hope_v true_o i_o have_v well_o prove_v that_o he_o be_v not_o here_o in_o england_n when_o he_o say_v he_o be_v but_o that_o i_o must_v leave_v to_o the_o jury_n but_o sure_o these_o boy_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v any_o design_n or_o to_o be_v bribe_v by_o any_o reward_n for_o i_o never_o see_v the_o face_n of_o any_o of_o they_o till_o now_o l._n ch._n just_a north._n they_o be_v all_o papist_n and_o speak_v in_o a_o general_n cause_n langhorn_n if_o that_o be_v a_o objection_n against_o they_o i_o think_v it_o be_v hard_a if_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v because_o they_o be_v papist_n and_o friend_n then_o the_o other_o on_o the_o contrary_n be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v because_o they_o be_v enemy_n i_o think_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o he_o do_v not_o lodge_v at_o grove_n house_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o he_o do_v not_o come_v over_o in_o the_o pacquet-boat_n with_o mr._n hilsly_n and_o that_o sir_n tho._n preston_n do_v not_o come_v over_o with_o he_o nor_o warner_n nor_o pool_n and_o if_o any_o of_o these_o point_n be_v clear_a for_o i_o i_o think_v his_o testimony_n ought_v to_o be_v set_v aside_o now_o as_o to_o what_o bedloe_n say_v in_o truth_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o i_o to_o examine_v any_o witness_n and_o that_o i_o think_v will_v be_v your_o lordship_n opinion_n it_o will_v not_o seem_v probable_a that_o one_o that_o be_v in_o my_o way_n of_o practice_n shall_v become_v a_o clerk_n to_o register_n letter_n and_o to_o keep_v account_n of_o any_o particular_a religious_a order_n as_o he_o make_v i_o to_o do_v or_o if_o i_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v admit_v mr._n bedloe_n to_o be_v privy_a to_o those_o account_n but_o that_o i_o must_v leave_v to_o the_o court_n my_o lord_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o prove_v a_o negative_a mr._n bedloe_n be_v a_o person_n that_o i_o have_v no_o acquaintance_n with_o true_o i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o ever_o i_o see_v he_o before_o this_o time_n in_o all_o my_o life_n though_o it_o be_v possible_a i_o may_v have_v see_v he_o but_o i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o ever_o i_o do_v now_o that_o i_o shall_v admit_v such_o a_o person_n to_o such_o a_o privacy_n in_o account_n of_o this_o nature_n if_o i_o be_v guilty_a of_o they_o seem_v very_o improbable_a but_o yet_o as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o prove_v a_o negative_a if_o i_o have_v know_v what_o he_o will_v have_v charge_v upon_o i_o before_o perhaps_o i_o may_v have_v make_v a_o better_a defence_n and_o for_o those_o witness_n that_o i_o have_v have_v they_o be_v prepare_v by_o such_o friend_n as_o think_v they_o will_v be_v useful_a for_o i_o these_o man_n have_v have_v time_n to_o get_v their_o witness_n together_o i_o never_o see_v one_o of_o i_o till_o they_o come_v into_o the_o court_n i_o hope_v my_o lord_n i_o shall_v find_v no_o disadvantage_n in_o my_o condemn_a i_o mere_o for_o that_o i_o disclaim_v all_o principle_n of_o disloyalty_n and_o i_o do_v assure_v your_o lordship_n i_o do_v believe_v it_o be_v damnation_n to_o any_o one_o that_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o kill_v the_o king_n or_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o government_n i_o shall_v leave_v the_o rest_n to_o your_o lordship_n and_o the_o jury_n the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n direction_n to_o the_o jury_n against_o mr._n langhorne_n lord_n chief_a just_o look_v you_o gentleman_n you_o have_v have_v a_o account_n in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o evidence_n in_o general_n that_o
