in_o this_o case_n because_o of_o the_o contrariety_n of_o the_o witness_n for_o the_o first_o witness_v say_v there_o be_v no_o frenchman_n aboard_o the_o next_o say_v there_o be_v two_o frenchman_n and_o a_o dutchman_n and_o crutenden_n say_v there_o be_v 13._o now_o how_o can_v these_o be_v reconcile_v unless_o there_o have_v be_v a_o legal_a examination_n of_o the_o party_n but_o the_o thing_n we_o will_v chief_o go_v on_o be_v this_o i_o think_v they_o have_v sail_v in_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o treason_n that_o be_v to_o prove_v the_o prisoner_n a_o subject_a of_o this_o crown_n neither_o be_v there_o the_o least_o colour_n of_o proof_n thereof_o at_o night_n he_o come_v to_o mr._n crittenden_n and_o be_v in_o drink_n there_o he_o say_v he_o be_v a_o irishman_n the_o next_o morning_n when_o he_o be_v examine_v before_o the_o justice_n than_o he_o come_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o judgement_n and_o then_o such_o a_o confession_n will_v be_v of_o moment_n but_o then_o he_o confess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o frenchman_n of_o martenico_n now_o my_o lord_n what_o credit_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o these_o confession_n when_o before_o the_o marshal_n he_o shall_v say_v i_o be_o a_o irishman_n and_o the_o next_o day_n when_o he_o be_v on_o examination_n he_o declare_v himself_o a_o frenchman_n in_o one_o confession_n he_o be_v in_o drink_n in_o the_o other_o sober_a now_o my_o lord_n i_o say_v what_o proof_n be_v here_o here_o then_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o treason_n fail_v for_o the_o indictment_n be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o subject_a of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n levy_z war._n now_o my_o lord_n it_o this_o quality_n be_v not_o prove_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o indictment_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o commit_v treason_n where_o he_o be_v not_o a_o subject_a because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o violation_n of_o allegiance_n so_o that_o if_o he_o be_v a_o frenchman_n as_o he_o declare_v before_o the_o justice_n he_o can_v be_v guilty_a of_o treason_n so_o that_o here_o they_o have_v fail_v in_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o that_o be_v to_o prove_v he_o a_o subject_a of_o england_n and_o because_o they_o affirm_v he_o to_o be_v so_o it_o lie_v on_o those_o that_o affirm_v it_o to_o prove_v it_o but_o perhaps_o now_o they_o will_v say_v that_o these_o little_a confession_n of_o he_o will_v throw_v the_o burden_n of_o proof_n on_o he_o by_o no_o mean_n when_o here_o be_v a_o strong_a presumption_n on_o the_o other_o side_n a_o mere_a extrajudicial_a say_n to_o seaman_n that_o he_o be_v a_o irishman_n can_v balance_v his_o confession_n examine_v before_o the_o justice_n wherein_o he_o say_v he_o be_v a_o frenchman_n and_o so_o can_v never_o throw_v the_o burden_n of_o proof_n on_o he_o therefore_o it_o lie_v on_o they_o that_o assert_v this_o to_o prove_v it_o but_o my_o lord_n though_o it_o do_v not_o lie_v on_o he_o yet_o we_o will_v prove_v he_o to_o be_v a_o frenchman_n and_o bear_v at_o martenico_n by_o those_o that_o be_v at_o the_o christen_n of_o he_o and_o have_v know_v he_o from_o time_n to_o time_n ever_o since_o and_o because_o they_o say_v he_o can_v speak_v english_a if_o you_o please_v to_o examine_v he_o you_o shall_v hear_v he_o speak_v natural_a french_a so_o that_o that_o can_v prove_v he_o to_o be_v a_o natural_a irishman_n mr._n phipps_n such_o a_o say_v of_o a_o foreigner_n will_v be_v of_o no_o great_a weight_n because_o if_o a_o man_n go_v into_o a_o foreign_a country_n he_o may_v say_v he_o be_v that_o countryman_n to_o get_v the_o more_o favour_n l._n c._n j._n holt._n what_o to_o hang_v himself_o mr._n phipps_n no_o my_o lord_n a_o man_n that_o come_v into_o a_o strange_a country_n may_v very_o well_o think_v he_o shall_v find_v better_a usage_n by_o pretend_v to_o be_v of_o that_o country_n than_o by_o own_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o foreigner_n but_o we_o will_v prove_v vaughan_n to_o be_v a_o frenchman_n call_v
