between_o which_o hour_n this_o fact_n be_v do_v next_o gentleman_n there_o have_v be_v some_o more_o witness_n call_v for_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n who_o give_v you_o a_o acount_n where_o

speak_v of_o but_o the_o account_n that_o be_v desire_v to_o be_v give_v of_o this_o matter_n be_v to_o know_v where_o he_o be_v between_o nine_o a_o clock_n and_o twelve_o when_o this_o fact_n be_v commit_v these_o gentlemen_z according_a as_o it_o occur_v to_o i_o be_v the_o substantial_a part_n of_o the_o evidence_n both_o on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o the_o other_o the_o matter_n therefore_o resolve_v itself_o within_o this_o narrow_a compass_n if_o upon_o what_o you_o have_v hear_v from_o mr._n arnold_n attend_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o circumstance_n that_o you_o have_v hear_v swear_v by_o the_o witness_n you_o do_v believe_v the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n be_v guilty_a for_o he_o may_v be_v at_o his_o lodging_n at_o nine_o a_o clock_n and_o he_o may_v be_v at_o his_o

therefore_o you_o must_v not_o expect_v that_o man_n that_o be_v guilty_a of_o such_o barbarous_a design_n as_o this_o will_v lay_v their_o design_n open_a to_o be_v sure_a whoever_o it_o be_v do_v this_o fact_n upon_o mr._n arnold_n they_o will_v do_v it_o so_o as_o to_o make_v themselves_o appear_v as_o innocent_a as_o can_v be_v it_o be_v not_o a_o matter_n to_o be_v rely_v on_o that_o because_o this_o man_n be_v innocent_a in_o st._n martin_n lane_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o do_v this_o thing_n in_o bell_n yard_n there_o be_v another_o circumstance_n against_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n that_o he_o shall_v imagine_v notwithstanding_o all_o this_o that_o mr._n arnold_n have_v wound_v himself_o but_o when_o he_o find_v that_o that_o be_v not_o very_o probable_a that_o

some_o of_o his_o friend_n may_v indeed_o if_o he_o be_v guilty_a some_o of_o his_o relation_n may_v do_v it_o but_o certain_o he_o be_v no_o friend_n that_o do_v it_o it_o be_v against_o nature_n for_o any_o man_n to_o believe_v that_o any_o person_n shall_v put_v himself_o to_o so_o much_o trouble_v if_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o dispatch_v himself_o he_o may_v have_v do_v it_o with_o

a_o offence_n but_o you_o must_v not_o expect_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o clear_a as_o in_o a_o matter_n of_o right_n between_o man_n and_o man_n and_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o sun_n it_o be_v do_v in_o the_o dark_a the_o devil_n that_o set_v they_o a-work_o do_v fill_v they_o with_o cunning_a enough_o to_o keep_v this_o attempt_n as_o conceal_v as_o may_v be_v

to_o who_o the_o right_a worshipful_a sir_n george_n jeffreys_n deliver_v himself_o to_o this_o effect_n you_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n you_o have_v be_v indict_v for_o a_o very_a vile_a

of_o this_o crime_n against_o who_o have_v you_o have_v any_o objection_n you_o may_v have_v make_v your_o challenge_n and_o now_o you_o stand_v convict_v here_o it_o be_v only_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o court_n to_o pronounce_v that_o judgement_n against_o you_o which_o they_o think_v may_v be_v reasonable_a to_o inflict_v upon_o such_o a_o offender_n for_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o base_a and_o most_o barbarous_a action_n that_o mankind_n can_v possible_o be_v guilty_a of_o a_o action_n of_o so_o much_o filth_n and_o baseness_n that_o the_o law_n can_v not_o foresee_v any_o man_n will_v be_v guilty_a of_o and_o therefore_o have_v not_o make_v provision_n for_o a_o punishment_n proportionable_a to_o it_o but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o understand_v by_o mr._n arnold_n you_o have_v a_o charge_n of_o child_n therefore_o the_o court_n take_v some_o consideration_n not_o that_o they_o think_v to_o extend_v any_o mercy_n to_o you_o for_o your_o own_o

not_o intend_v only_o a_o punishment_n to_o the_o offender_n but_o by_o that_o to_o terrify_v all_o other_o people_n from_o be_v guilty_a of_o such_o extraordinary_a villainy_n and_o because_o they_o will_v have_v regard_n to_o your_o posterity_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o put_v so_o great_a a_o fine_a upon_o you_o as_o this_o fact_n do_v deserve_v but_o on_o the_o other_o
