continue_v strict_o in_o prison_n to_o their_o great_a danger_n and_o inconvenience_n by_o reason_n of_o so_o strait_a imprisonment_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v and_o the_o king_n know_v of_o these_o

the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o county_n of_o middlesex_n which_o be_v read_v in_o the_o open_a session_n at_o old_a baley_n the_o twenty_o second_o day_n of_o the_o six_o month_n signify_v the_o

at_o the_o city_n o●_n westminster_n his_o pleasure_n be_v that_o all_o such_o person_n shall_v be_v discharge_v then_o in_o the_o goal_n for_o london_n and_o middlesex_n except_o ringleader_n and_o preacher_n and_o such_o as_o be_v indict_v for_o refuss_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n etc._n etc._n according_a to_o which_o letter_n most_o of_o the_o say_a prisoner_n be_v discharge_v except_o some_o few_o except_v who_o yet_o remain_v only_o the_o gaoler_n which_o be_v a_o common_a property_n pertain_v to_o the_o man_n of_o that_o call_n greedy_a of_o gain_n and_o money_n will_v not_o set_v at_o liberty_n the_o prisoner_n without_o pay_v fee_n but_o keep_v they_o about_o six_o day_n after_o and_o then_o let_v they_o go_v without_o fee_n which_o for_o conscience_n sake_n they_o can_v not_o pay_v for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o fee_n in_o themselves_o be_v a_o impose_v oppression_n and_o exaction_n upon_o prisoner_n and_o we_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o bear_v witness_n against_o such_o imposition_n by_o deny_v to_o pay_v fee_n which_o be_v a_o evidence_n against_o it_o and_o we_o can_v uphold_v such_o oppression_n and_o exaction_n but_o do_v witness_n against_o it_o by_o deny_v to_o pay_v any_o fee_n for_o cease_v to_o uphold_v any_o oppression_n by_o deny_v it_o be_v the_o great_a witness_n against_o it_o and_o so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n and_o see_v it_o be_v a_o oppression_n even_o this_o very_a matter_n of_o fee_n we_o rather_o choose_v to_o suffer_v then_o to_o uphold_v it_o and_o maintain_v it_o by_o pay_v any_o and_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o we_o deny_v to_o pay_v fe_n 2._o because_o we_o be_v innocent_a and_o not_o imprison_v for_o any_o evil_n do_v or_o breach_n of_o any_o just_a law_n therefore_o we_o may_v not_o pay_v fee_n and_o thereby_o render_v ourselves_o to_o the_o suspicion_n of_o guilt_n when_o we_o be_v guiltless_a for_o pay_v the_o imposition_n of_o fee_n to_o clerk_n and_o gaoler_n do_v partly_o render_v man_n clearness_n and_o innocency_n to_o the_o evil_a surmise_n of_o evil_a mind_n as_o if_o they_o be_v guilty_a and_o because_o we_o be_v clear_a and_o innocent_a both_o before_o god_n and_o man_n in_o this_o case_n of_o be_v send_v to_o prison_n for_o meet_v together_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n we_o may_v not_o pay_v any_o impose_v fee_n for_o if_o any_o fee_n be_v due_a they_o be_v due_a from_o transgressor_n as_o a_o imposition_n deserve_o upon_o they_o for_o their_o offence_n and_o not_o from_o the_o innocent_a who_o be_v wrongful_o imprison_v and_o of_o right_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v impose_v upon_o by_o any_o much_o less_o by_o the_o gaoler_n who_o be_v but_o inferior_a servant_n 3._o because_o there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o the_o land_n command_v and_o enjoin_v we_o to_o pay_v such_o exact_v fee_n as_o be_v usual_o demand_v of_o we_o but_o only_o a_o traditional_a custom_n get_v up_o in_o the_o land_n and_o by_o custom_n of_o time_n long_o continue_v now_o it_o be_v claim_v as_o due_a and_o debt_n from_o prisoner_n which_o be_v not_o due_a by_o any_o law_n of_o the_o land_n but_o impose_v and_o exact_v by_o long_a custom_n without_o just_a law_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v refuse_v to_o pay_v such_o imposition_n which_o be_v come_v in_o by_o evil_a custom_n and_o not_o by_o good_a law_n which_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o witness_n against_o by_o the_o denial_n of_o

on_o to_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o court_n the_o next_o day_n which_o be_v as_o follow_v in_o the_o morning_n early_o all_o the_o say_a prisoner_n that_o have_v be_v try_v the_o day_n before_o be_v have_v down_o to_o the_o court_n and_o also_o four_o woman_n that_o have_v be_v take_v at_o the_o bull_n and_o mouth_n about_o a_o week_n before_o who_o be_v the_o first_o call_v and_o their_o indictment_n read_v for_o be_v at_o a_o unlawful_a and_o tumultuous_a meeting_n etc._n etc._n as_o they_o say_v and_o it_o be_v demand_v of_o they_o guilty_a or_o not_o guilty_a to_o which_o the_o prisoner_n plead_v after_o some_o few_o word_n betwixt_o they_o and_o the_o court_n not_o guilty_a then_o they_o be_v set_v by_o next_o be_v call_v e._n burrough_n and_o set_v to_o the_o bar_n and_o

be_v fine_v one_o hundred_o mark_n and_o must_v lie_v in_o prison_n till_o payment_n to_o which_o he_o reply_v again_o he_o look_v upon_o this_o way_n of_o pass_a sentence_n not_o to_o be_v just_a nor_o yet_o according_a to_o their_o own_o custom_n for_o he_o expect_v they_o will_v have_v ask_v he_o according_a to_o their_o usual_a manner_n in_o that_o case_n what_o he_o have_v to_o say_v for_o himself_o why_o judgement_n shall_v not_o pass_v for_o he_o have_v much_o to_o say_v on_o that_o kind_n and_o bad_a the_o court_n remember_v that_o yesterday_o he_o move_v they_o and_o orlando_n

will_v produce_v divers_a statute_n contrary_a to_o the_o form_n of_o which_o these_o proceed_n towards_o he_o be_v he_o say_v he_o be_v no_o lawyer_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o now_o nominate_v to_o they_o the_o particular_a chapter_n of_o the_o statute_n which_o he_o desire_v to_o insist_v upon_o and_o therefore_o desire_a time_n till_o the_o next_o session_n or_o but_o till_o the_o

know_v sergeant_n hatten_n well_o but_o his_o practice_n be_v no_o example_n to_o they_o for_o do_v you_o think_v say_v the_o judge_n to_o the_o prisoner_n that_o we_o can_v give_v you_o time_n for_o you_o to_o take_v the_o indictment_n and_o consult_v with_o lawyer_n and_o seek_v this_o occasion_n and_o the_o other_o against_o it_o this_o we_o will_v not_o do_v say_v he_o but_o if_o you_o have_v any_o matter_n or_o point_n of_o law_n now_o to_o move_v we_o will_v hear_v you_o but_o we_o shall_v give_v you_o no_o long_o time_n to_o which_o e._n b._n again_o reply_v then_o he_o shall_v say_v

of_o law_n better_o than_o himself_o why_o shall_v he_o not_o do_v this_o his_o fact_n be_v not_o so_o criminal_a nor_o of_o so_o large_a extent_n but_o that_o the_o law_n will_v allow_v he_o

he_o think_v the_o law_n will_v allow_v counsel_n and_o therefore_o he_o know_v not_o why_o such_o exception_n shall_v be_v make_v against_o he_o as_o if_o he_o can_v not_o be_v admit_v counsel_n in_o
