more Larimore Yes my Lord John Cox and Francis Lucy they being both Sworn John Cox said My Lord I being in Mr. Hawkin's Company not long since one asked him how he thought to come off at the Assizes Mr. Hawkins reply'd he cared not much for this Plot tho he should be Convicted for they could but burn him in the hand for it and that he could bite out Lucy being sworn said that he heard Mr. Hawkins confess that he owed Larimore 15s but because he had dealt so unjustly with him he would make it cost Larimore fifteen times 15s before he would pay him L. C. B. said this makes little to the purpose Come Larimore Have you any more Lar. I think not my Lord. L. C. B. If you have any more Witnesses call them and they shall be heard and do not say when I am gone that your Witnesses could not be heard Lar. My Lord I confess they have been fully heard and I have no more to say L. C. B. said to me Sir you have heard the Indictment against you and the Evidence to prove it you have the Charge now say what you can for your own Defence and you shall be heard Hawk I humbly thank your Honour and I hope my Lord because the Evidence is large I shall have the more time allowed me to make my Defence and if so I doubt not but fully to open this Conspiracy L. C. B. Do not fear that for as they have been heard at large so shall you likewise God forbid else Hawk I humbly thank your Honour and do promise to be as brief as conveniently I can and as I intend to offer nothing but the naked truth So I will say no more if I am not misinformed than I can prove to be true And my Lord because it may seem necessary for me to offer many things by way of Defence in answer to so great a Charge to save time I pray that it may not be expected by your Honour or the Jury that I should call Witnesses to prove every particular but when I offer such things as are most material if either your Honour or the Jury be not fully satisfied touching the truth of such material points I do humbly pray that I may be called upon to prove them for when I am not called upon for proof I shall under favour my Lord take it for granted that I am believed And for Method herein if I may have leave I do intend this 1. In General to shew how improbable it is that I should be guilty of this Robbery and also deliver some hints to move the Court and Jury to Question whether this Prosecutor Larimore was Robbed at all or no And 2ly More particularly to examine the Evidence as to matter of Fact L. C. B. Go on Sir to your Defence Hawk May it please your Honour and you of this Jury I begin with the first part of my Defence which is to hint how unlikely it is that I should be guilty of robbing this Larimore 1. Larimore is Generally known to be a notorious Anabaptist and an Enemy to the Church of England and a hater of the Ministry in General but more particularly he is most Envious and Malicious against my self because I sued him for Tyths and caused him to be Indicted for not coming to Church or Baptizing his Children for which reason his Malice against me hath appeared notorious several ways as amongst others 1. By disswading all that owed me any money not to pay me 2. By his inducing those to whom I owed mony to arrest and trouble me 3. By disswading those that I sued for Tyths not to agree with me he promising them that Sir John Croke and himself would force me to run the Country ere long 4. By his continual tormenting and vexing me with his false Arrests and illegal Indictments 5. By his constant endeavour to disswade my friends from any ways relieving me or mine in my greatest wants and necessities advising them to starve us My Lord and this Jury if you are nor fully satisfied in any of these particulars that I have alledged I am ready to prove them but if this be granted they are no doubt sufficient Arguments to prove the malice of his heart Again I say that it is no ways possible that Larimore was Robbed at all and of this opinion are most of his Neighbors round about him as may appear by this Certificate which followeth WE do humbly certifie that Henry Larimore of Chilton in the County of Bucks Labourer is a notorious Anabaptist an Enemy to the Church of England and a perfect hater of all Ministers of the same but in particular most Inveterate and Malicious against Robert Hawkins Clerk late Minister of the Church of Chilton aforesaid for that he doth not only seek and design utterly to ruin the said Mr. Hawkins himself but makes it his business and daily practice to instigate others to do the like and for no other cause as he hath often confessed himself but for that the said Mr. Hawkins hath caused him to be Indicted for not coming to Church and Sued him for Tyths And we do verily believe and are fully satisfied in our Consciences that the said Mr. Hawkins is not at all guilty of the pretended Felony in Stealing the Ring and piece of Silver which the said Larimore hath Charged him with but that it is a meer contrivance inehoated and set on foot by the said Larimore Sir John Croke and others on purpose to Revenge themselves And we do also believe that the said Mr. Hawkins is a very Honest Man and that he is a very able Minister and a true and faithful labourer in Gods word and never heard that he was ever suspected in the least of Felony till this Malicious Prosecution which is by the said Larimore and others whom the said Mr. Hawkins sueth for Tyths Witness our Hands March 8. 1668.
