reason_n of_o this_o priest_n gibbens_n who_o with_o the_o mayor_n and_o the_o bailiff_n who_o do_v all_o three_o at_o last_o depart_v as_o they_o may_v with_o shame_n then_o be_v the_o many_o people_n that_o be_v then_o come_v in_o very_o quiet_a again_o &_o attend_v to_o what_o be_v then_o speak_v to_o they_o by_o h._n s._n and_o many_o confess_v to_o the_o truth_n and_o depart_v all_o peaceable_o on_o the_o morrow_n rich._n jones_n bring_v a_o warrant_n with_o one_o hand_n to_o it_o as_o they_o say_v that_o be_v call_v justice_n due_a but_o there_o be_v neither_o of_o our_o name_n in_o it_o but_o the_o name_n of_o another_o man_n so_o we_o say_v it_o be_v nothing_o to_o we_o and_o after_o many_o word_n the_o major_n be_v depar_v than_o richard_n jones_n say_v though_o our_o name_n be_v not_o in_o it_o yet_o he_o will_v have_v we_o away_o and_o he_o will_v answer_v it_o so_o with_o violent_a hand_n he_o pull_v and_o thrust_v h._n s._n out_o of_o my_o mother_n house_n and_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o ale_n house_n and_o set_v a_o watch_n to_o keep_v we_o and_o thence_o he_o take_v we_o away_o to_o bring_v we_o before_o one_o call_v justice_n clavil_n so_o richard_n jones_n charge_v man_n with_o horse_n to_o guard_v we_o along_o unto_o that_o roger_n clavil_n who_o be_v set_v to_o do_v justice_n and_o the_o priest_n nicolas_n gibbens_n come_v also_o and_o when_o we_o be_v come_v before_o he_o call_v justice_n than_o the_o priest_n gibbens_n and_o also_o priest_n pitfild_n be_v there_o to_o lay_v snare_n for_o we_o but_o we_o acquaint_v he_o that_o be_v set_v to_o do_v justice_n how_o i_o come_v and_o my_o friend_n with_o i_o to_o visit_v my_o mother_n a_o widow_n and_o the_o fatherless_a and_o if_o we_o have_v transgress_v any_o law_n we_o be_v ready_a to_o suffer_v but_o this_o priest_n nicolas_n gibbens_n who_o with_o the_o major_n and_o this_o richard_n jones_n have_v disturb_v we_o that_o be_v peaceable_a before_o they_o come_v and_o after_o and_o also_o that_o there_o be_v they_o that_o be_v drink_v that_o come_v in_o with_o or_o after_o they_o richard_z jones_n be_v a_o beer_n brewer_n and_o keep_v a_o ale_n house_n and_o that_o the_o say_v richard_n jones_n be_v accuse_v to_o his_o face_n for_o swear_v that_o time_n he_o come_v in_o upon_o we_o then_o roger_n clavil_n that_o shall_v have_v do_v justice_n upon_o these_o offender_n ask_v if_o we_o will_v take_v our_o oath_n that_o richard_n jones_n do_v swear_v and_o when_o he_o understand_v that_o we_o dare_v not_o go_v out_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n to_o swear_v than_o he_o fetch_v that_o call_v the_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n to_o ensnare_v we_o by_o but_o we_o tell_v he_o if_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o send_v we_o to_o prison_n he_o may_v do_v it_o without_o lay_v that_o snare_n for_o we_o and_o we_o say_v also_o he_o may_v offer_v that_o to_o the_o papist_n of_o the_o county_n now_o roger_n clavil_n take_v occasion_n against_o i_o because_o i_o have_v tell_v priest_n gibbens_n that_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n when_o he_o do_v lie_v and_o roger_n clavil_n say_v that_o though_o one_o do_v tell_v a_o lie_n he_o must_v not_o be_v call_v a_o liar_n so_o he_o make_v a_o mittimus_fw-la which_o be_v afterward_o interline_v with_o false_a accusation_n and_o send_v i_o to_o prison_n and_o also_o my_o friend_n humphrey_n smith_n and_o be_v bring_v

andrew_n then_o under_o the_o command_n of_o major_n boorene_n who_o then_o love_v i_o and_o will_v have_v prefer_v i_o in_o the_o service_n either_o to_o a_o gunner_n or_o boat_n swain_n place_n but_o i_o deny_v it_o for_o there_o be_v that_o in_o i_o that_o tell_v i_o either_o of_o these_o two_o place_n will_v be_v a_o snare_n unto_o i_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o i_o do_v not_o then_o know_v that_o this_o which_o do_v discover_v it_o unto_o i_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o have_v appear_v unto_o all_o man_n which_o teach_v we_o all_o thing_n afterward_o i_o be_v in_o two_o fight_n under_o the_o command_n of_o captain_n nikolas_n heaton_n in_o the_o saphire_n frigate_n where_o i_o be_v then_o belove_v by_o he_o and_o he_o put_v i_o in_o the_o place_n of_o a_o master_n mate_n for_o the_o space_n of_o above_o two_o year_n and_o i_o be_v in_o three_o or_o four_o fight_n against_o the_o french_a but_o many_o time_n i_o have_v many_o conviction_n in_o my_o conscience_n that_o i_o do_v not_o walk_v upright_o with_o the_o lord_n and_o many_o time_n the_o afflict_a hand_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o i_o which_o bring_v sickness_n yet_o all_o this_o while_n i_o do_v not_o

take_v notice_n of_o yet_o i_o live_v in_o the_o vanity_n of_o my_o mind_n as_o all_o the_o world_n do_v at_o this_o day_n and_o many_o time_n when_o i_o have_v be_v in_o foolish_a jest_n i_o have_v feel_v that_o in_o i_o which_o strike_v i_o silent_a and_o yet_o at_o that_o time_n i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o this_o be_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n which_o condemn_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n but_o now_o i_o see_v that_o people_n perish_v for_o want_v of_o knowledge_n about_o the_o time_n the_o war_n begin_v between_o england_n and_o spain_n the_o captain_n of_o the_o saphire_n be_v sick_a
