a_o court_n of_o justice_n now_o eight_o witness_n swear_v it_o i_o do_v appeal_n to_o the_o court_n whether_o in_o matter_n of_o this_o nature_n one_o witness_n for_o the_o affirmative_a be_v not_o more_o valid_a than_o many_o of_o the_o negative_a they_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o impossibility_n and_o why_o because_o they_o swear_v as_o they_o say_v at_o a_o extravagant_a rate_n that_o mr._n bethel_n give_v he_o twenty_o blow_n gentleman_n if_o mr._n bethel_n will_v beat_v a_o man_n extravagant_o it_o be_v not_o extravagancie_n to_o swear_v it_o now_o mason_n evidence_n be_v confirm_v by_o all_o the_o rest_n produce_v and_o no_o contradiction_n if_o one_o swear_v to_o ten_o and_o another_o to_o two_o and_o another_o to_o three_o be_v this_o inconsistent_a no_o gentleman_n it_o be_v

that_o feel_v the_o blow_n or_o they_o that_o swear_v there_o be_v not_o one_o give_v he_o that_o feel_v they_o i_o be_o sure_a gentleman_n it_o be_v in_o a_o crowd_n it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v not_o see_v all_o yet_o their_o evidence_n be_v a_o concur_v circumstance_n next_o i_o come_v to_o the_o point_n of_o law_n how_o a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o candidate_n at_o a_o election_n can_v beat_v any_o man_n that_o stand_v in_o his_o way_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o to_o be_v law_n if_o any_o man_n have_v beat_v mr._n bethel_n he_o may_v have_v beat_v he_o again_o in_o his_o own_o

carry_v on_o without_o some_o bustle_n it_o be_v true_a in_o a_o crowd_n man_n justle_a one_o another_o and_o by_o accident_n strike_v another_o down_o it_o be_v no_o battery_n but_o be_v it_o

person_n that_o will_v do_v such_o thing_n shall_v be_v make_v a_o example_n justice_n pyrs_n afterward_o sum_v up_o the_o evidence_n and_o tell_v the_o jury_n as_o mr._n holt_n the_o counsellor_n for_o the_o king_n have_v before_o well_o observe_v that_o they_o be_v to_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o positive_a affirmative_a evidence_n mason_n have_v swear_v positive_o to_o several_a blow_n that_o be_v strike_v by_o mr._n bethel_n and_o that_o eight_o witness_n have_v swear_v in_o the_o affirmative_a and_o that_o though_o there_o be_v seven_o witness_n produce_v by_o mr._n bethel_n which_o be_v on_o the_o negative_a part_n yet_o they_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o the_o law_n do_v not_o allow_v of_o those_o negative_a evidence_n but_o for_o that_o so_o many_a have_v swear_v in_o the_o affirmative_a that_o they_o see_v a_o thing_n do_v and_o as_o many_o swear_v that_o they_o see_v it_o not_o he_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o say_v but_o to_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o jury_n say_v that_o one_o affirmative_a be_v better_a than_o forty_o negative_a oath_n so_o the_o jury_n go_v out_o and_o in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n be_v please_v to_o find_v the_o indictment_n and_o

at_o the_o open_n of_o the_o cause_n they_o will_v not_o impertinent_o and_o from_o the_o matter_n have_v infer_v mr._n bethel_n quarrelsome_a and_o rude_a intention_n from_o the_o company_n that_o
