against_o i_o before_o the_o judge_n be_v this_o he_o swear_v he_o have_v be_v at_o confession_n with_o i_o and_o that_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n at_o my_o hand_n about_o two_o year_n before_o at_o his_o father_n house_n while_o he_o be_v a_o catholic_a and_o after_o he_o become_v a_o protestant_n he_o say_v i_o tell_v he_o afterward_o he_o shall_v turn_v back_o from_o whence_o he_o have_v fall_v else_o he_o will_v be_v damn_v the_o other_o three_o witness_n that_o be_v force_v to_o come_v in_o against_o i_o when_o they_o come_v before_o the_o grand_a jury_n and_o be_v urge_v to_o take_v their_o oath_n to_o tell_v that_o which_o they_o never_o have_v know_v nor_o see_v concern_v my_o be_v a_o priest_n they_o all_o unanimous_o declare_v that_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v against_o i_o and_o that_o they_o be_v by_o violence_n force_v to_o appear_v there_o and_o therefore_o they_o say_v they_o will_v never_o swear_v nor_o say_v any_o thing_n against_o i_o for_o they_o know_v nothing_o to_o accuse_v i_o of_o which_o when_o the_o jury_n hear_v they_o call_v for_o the_o jailor_n to_o take_v the_o party_n that_o fit_v deny_v to_o swear_v to_o prison_n think_v by_o this_o violent_a way_n of_o proceed_v so_o to_o affright_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v say_v something_o out_o of_o which_o advantage_n shall_v be_v take_v against_o i_o which_o they_o better_a to_o effect_v they_o make_v they_o first_o lie_v their_o hand_n on_o the_o bible_n and_o then_o kiss_v it_o which_o they_o do_v then_o the_o jury_n tell_v they_o that_o now_o they_o be_v to_o tell_v all_o the_o truth_n according_a as_o they_o be_v ask_v first_o they_o ask_v whether_o any_o of_o they_o have_v ever_o hear_v i_o read_v one_o answer_v yes_o the_o bible_n and_o sometime_o any_o other_o book_n then_o they_o ask_v whether_o they_o have_v ever_o see_v i_o pray_v it_o be_v answer_v yes_o then_o they_o ask_v what_o clothes_n i_o have_v on_o when_o i_o pray_v and_o whether_o i_o use_v to_o change_v my_o clothes_n when_o i_o come_v to_o pray_v in_o these_o and_o other_o like_a question_n they_o sift_v they_o to_o get_v out_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v do_v i_o hurt_v but_o how_o charitable_a or_o christian-like_a these_o proceed_n of_o the_o jury_n be_v let_v the_o world_n judge_v now_o as_o god_n will_v hereafter_o for_o if_o this_o be_v a_o charitable_a way_n of_o proceed_v among_o christian_n that_o our_o neighbour_n shall_v by_o such_o strange_a violence_n as_o by_o warrant_n and_o oath_n be_v bring_v against_o their_o will_n from_o any_o part_n of_o england_n to_o swear_v whatever_o they_o have_v see_v hear_v or_o know_v of_o their_o neighbour_n what_o horrid_a confusion_n and_o odium_n must_n this_o make_v among_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n both_o friend_n and_o foe_n but_o i_o do_v not_o blame_v those_o three_o witness_n after_o they_o have_v be_v inconsiderate_o induce_v to_o lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o the_o bible_n and_o kiss_v it_o i_o suppose_v they_o judge_v themselves_o bind_v to_o say_v what_o they_o do_v after_o this_o when_o the_o jury_n have_v get_v out_o of_o they_o what_o they_o can_v the_o four_o witness_n and_o i_o be_v call_v before_o the_o judge_n the_o first_o witness_n that_o come_v to_o swear_v against_o i_o as_o the_o custom_n be_v repeat_v his_o testimony_n over_o again_o before_o the_o judge_n and_o so_o do_v the_o other_o three_o that_o be_v force_v which_o when_o i_o hear_v how_o absurd_a and_o insignificant_a some_o of_o their_o testimony_n be_v i_o inconsiderate_o smile_v at_o which_o the_o judge_n be_v offend_v i_o humble_o beg_v his_o pardon_n and_o tell_v he_o i_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o laugh_v or_o smile_v be_v passion_n of_o nature_n over_o which_o no_o man_n have_v a_o free_a course_n or_o power_n i_o hope_v and_o beseech_v he_o not_o to_o impute_v it_o to_o i_o he_o tell_v i_o he_o will_v not_o be_v displease_v at_o i_o for_o it_o then_o he_o ask_v i_o whether_o i_o be_v guilty_a or_o not_o guilty_a of_o my_o accusation_n and_o i_o answer_v not_o guilty_a he_o bid_v i_o show_v it_o by_o answer_v for_o myself_o i_o tell_v he_o i_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v it_o but_o tell_v he_o first_o i_o have_v a_o humble_a petition_n to_o his_o lordship_n which_o be_v that_o i_o desire_v a_o full_a and_o free_a liberty_n without_o hindrance_n to_o answer_v to_o every_o objection_n and_o plead_v for_o myself_o i_o also_o desire_v he_o will_v reflect_v in_o my_o behalf_n that_o as_o he_o be_v to_o be_v my_o judge_n so_o he_o be_v to_o be_v my_o advocate_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o all_o earthly_a judge_n be_v to_o imitate_v the_o heavenly_a judge_n who_o as_o advocate_n ten_o thousand_o time_n mitigate_v the_o severity_n of_o a_o judge_n while_o his_o hand_n of_o mercy_n be_v infinite_o stretch_v forth_o beyond_o the_o hand_n of_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o i_o beg_v of_o his_o lordship_n that_o i_o may_v find_v the_o favour_n of_o a_o advocate_n from_o he_o rather_o than_o the_o tigor_n of_o a_o judge_n especial_o in_o those_o thing_n which_o according_a to_o law_n may_v be_v advantageous_a or_o disadvantageous_a to_o i_o which_o i_o understanding_n not_o how_o to_o make_v the_o best_a use_n of_o they_o desire_v his_o lordship_n will_v vouchsafe_v to_o do_v it_o for_o i_o which_o that_o the_o better_a he_o may_v be_v move_v to_o do_v i_o desire_v he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o consider_v that_o this_o my_o life_n and_o concern_v be_v in_o comparison_n of_o other_o great_a not_o so_o much_o considerable_a i_o be_v but_o a_o private_a person_n yet_o my_o little_a be_v to_o i_o much_o because_o my_o little_a be_v my_o all_o and_o my_o life_n to_o i_o be_v as_o much_o as_o caesar_n or_o solomon_n be_v to_o they_o and_o as_o great_a a_o gift_n from_o god_n to_o i_o as_o they_o to_o they_o and_o therefore_o god_n have_v lay_v as_o great_a a_o obligation_n on_o i_o to_o defend_v myself_o and_o my_o life_n as_o he_o have_v on_o they_o for_o they_o and_o also_o have_v give_v to_o every_o one_o a_o strict_a command_v not_o to_o impair_v or_o prejudice_v i_o in_o the_o least_o no_o more_o than_o the_o great_a potentate_n therefore_o be_v i_o be_v now_o bring_v before_o he_o in_o a_o case_n where_o the_o world_n as_o much_o as_o concern_v i_o lay_v at_o stake_n and_o my_o life_n and_o my_o credit_n i_o do_v humble_o beseech_v his_o lordship_n to_o proceed_v according_o with_o i_o as_o i_o presume_v according_a to_o his_o prudence_n and_o worth_n he_o will_v he_o assent_v to_o what_o i_o petition_v and_o do_v bid_v i_o speak_v for_o myself_o in_o answer_v therefore_o to_o the_o first_o voluntary_a witness_n against_o i_o i_o tell_v his_o lordship_n it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v be_v at_o such_o a_o night_n at_o his_o father_n house_n and_o according_o as_o i_o be_v desire_v by_o he_o i_o stay_v all_o night_n but_o as_o for_o this_o witness_n i_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o he_o and_o he_o to_o i_o as_o he_o confess_v himself_o then_o the_o judge_n ask_v he_o whether_o he_o know_v i_o before_o or_o no_o for_o he_o declare_v public_o that_o he_o never_o know_v i_o nor_o see_v i_o before_o or_o since_o till_o he_o see_v i_o at_o worcester_n and_o yet_o he_o say_v the_o next_o morning_n he_o make_v his_o confession_n to_o i_o and_o i_o give_v he_o the_o communion_n at_o mass_n as_o he_o suppose_v in_o my_o chamber_n but_o he_o say_v that_o none_o of_o all_o the_o family_n be_v present_a at_o that_o time_n only_o he_o and_o i_o alone_o whereupon_o i_o desire_v the_o judge_n to_o consider_v what_o possible_a likelihood_n can_v be_v of_o the_o truth_n in_o this_o his_o affirmation_n that_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o a_o house_n where_o i_o be_v acquaint_v with_o they_o all_o father_n mother_n and_o child_n with_o all_o but_o this_o witness_n who_o as_o he_o declare_v know_v i_o not_o nor_o ever_o have_v see_v i_o before_o what_o likelihood_n be_v there_o i_o shall_v say_v mass_n before_o he_o alone_o hear_v his_o confession_n and_o give_v he_o the_o sacrament_n and_o so_o go_v away_o without_o any_o one_o of_o the_o family_n with_o who_o i_o be_v so_o well_o acquaint_v hear_v see_v or_o know_v the_o least_o of_o this_o that_o past_a between_o he_o and_o i_o i_o therefore_o desire_v my_o lord_n to_o ask_v he_o whether_o i_o speak_v of_o confession_n or_o communion_n or_o what_o i_o say_v to_o he_o when_o i_o give_v it_o he_o or_o whether_o i_o tell_v he_o i_o will_v give_v he_o the_o sacrament_n which_o when_o the_o judge_n have_v ask_v he_o he_o answer_v that_o indeed_o i_o never_o have_v speak_v to_o he_o either_o about_o confession_n or_o communion_n to_o
