a_o trespass_n although_o he_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o reader_n may_v observe_v that_o this_o be_v a_o go_v in_o the_o highway_n and_o not_o out_o of_o the_o common-path_n to_o our_o own_o proper_a place_n and_o ground_n neither_o be_v it_o a_o fit_a similitude_n because_o we_o be_v charge_v in_o the_o indictment_n with_o wickedness_n danger_n and_o sedition_n under_o colour_n and_o pretence_n of_o a_o exercise_n of_o religion_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o so_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v a_o wrest_n of_o judgement_n also_o it_o be_v mind_v to_o the_o jury_n that_o the_o door_n be_v open_a which_o according_a to_o their_o own_o law_n be_v say_v to_o excuse_v from_o a_o conventicle_n which_o be_v take_v for_o a_o meeting_n to_o a_o bad_a intent_n and_o wherewith_o we_o be_v charge_v this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o be_v plead_v to_o the_o particular_n charge_v against_o we_o in_o the_o indictment_n from_o the_o first_o to_o the_o last_o till_o the_o jury_n bring_v in_o their_o ultimate_a verdict_n so_o call_v which_o appear_v to_o be_v so_o sufficient_a for_o a_o just_a defence_n unto_o impartial_a judge_n and_o a_o judicious_a and_o conscientious_a jury_n that_o the_o stander-by_n general_o think_v we_o shall_v have_v be_v bring_v in_o not_o guilty_a the_o jury_n go_v out_o of_o the_o court_n they_o continue_v a_o certain_a time_n then_o come_v again_o the_o bailiff_n say_v they_o have_v a_o verdict_n they_o be_v ask_v if_o they_o be_v agree_v say_v yes_o they_o ask_v whether_o arthur_n fisher_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n be_v guilty_a or_o not_o guilty_a they_o say_v they_o be_v guilty_a in_o part_n and_o not_o guilty_a in_o part_n then_o richard_n onzlow_v say_v they_o must_v either_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o whole_a indictment_n or_o else_o not_o guilty_a they_o answer_v they_o can_v not_o find_v we_o guilty_a of_o the_o whole_a but_o only_o guilty_a of_o meeting_n which_o meeting_n they_o say_v they_o can_v not_o find_v to_o be_v upon_o pretence_n of_o worship_n because_o there_o be_v no_o word_n speak_v neither_o can_v they_o find_v as_o guilty_a for_o not_o come_v to_o hear_v common-prayer_n because_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hear_v before_o their_o imprisonment_n but_o this_o verdict_n will_v not_o be_v accept_v of_o although_o richard_n onzlow_n have_v tell_v they_o that_o if_o they_o can_v not_o find_v we_o guilty_a of_o all_o then_o not_o guilty_a and_o they_o say_v they_o can_v not_o find_v we_o guilty_a but_o in_o part_n so_o that_o according_a to_o his_o own_o word_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v clear_v but_o judgement_n be_v turn_v backward_o and_o equity_n can_v not_o enter_v but_o they_o will_v force_v the_o jury_n to_o bring_v in_o another_o verdict_n then_o one_o of_o the_o justice_n that_o commit_v we_o be_v swear_v as_o to_o what_o our_o confession_n be_v when_o we_o be_v commit_v who_o say_v we_o confess_v we_o meet_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o be_v the_o best_a evidence_n that_o he_o can_v give_v then_o the_o jury_n be_v send_v out_o again_o where_o they_o stay_v long_o insomuch_o that_o the_o court_n adjourn_v until_o the_o three_o hour_n about_o which_o time_n they_o sit_v again_o and_o ask_v if_o the_o jury_n be_v agree_v the_o bailiff_n say_v no_o but_o say_v he_o master_n pound_n be_v here_o now_o whereupon_o richard_n onzlow_v cast_v his_o eye_n up_o towards_o the_o window_n the_o jury_n be_v in_o a_o upper_a room_n say_v his_o evidence_n be_v nothing_o now_o the_o reader_n may_v take_v notice_n that_o this_o pound_n be_v the_o constable_n that_o accompany_v the_o soldier_n to_o fetch_v we_o out_o of_o the_o meeting_n then_o in_o a_o little_a space_n after_o the_o jury_n come_v again_o and_o be_v ask_v as_o before_o they_o answer_v to_o the_o same_o effect_n which_o verdict_n will_v no_o more_o satisfy_v the_o court_n than_o the_o former_a then_o pound_n be_v call_v and_o swear_v who_o evidence_n richard_n onzlow_n have_v say_v to_o be_v nothing_o now_o neither_o do_v we_o judge_v it_o legal_a to_o swear_v witness_n for_o either_o party_n after_o the_o jury_n have_v go_v out_o twice_o before_o but_o we_o know_v our_o cause_n to_o be_v just_a and_o ourselves_o innocent_a we_o matter_a not_o what_o any_o can_v say_v or_o swear_v against_o we_o and_o his_o evidence_n as_o to_o what_o he_o see_v agree_v with_o the_o other_o but_o they_o ask_v he_o if_o he_o hear_v we_o say_v we_o meet_v to_o worship_n god_n or_o upon_o pretence_n of_o religious_a exercise_n he_o say_v he_o hear_v we_o say_v nothing_o but_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o we_o meet_v to_o worship_n god_n so_o they_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v but_o it_o be_v tell_v they_o that_o a_o not_o deny_v be_v not_o a_o confess_v of_o any_o thing_n and_o we_o speak_v to_o the_o jury_n to_o mind_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v also_o tell_v they_o he_o that_o justify_v the_o wicked_a and_o he_o that_o condemn_v the_o righteous_a both_o those_o be_v abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n insomuch_o that_o richard_n onzlow_v tell_v one_o of_o we_o he_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o his_o good-behaviour_n and_o thus_o all_o people_n may_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o unjust_a deal_n of_o the_o ruler_n of_o this_o nation_n for_o when_o it_o seem_v very_o probable_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v clear_v because_o the_o evidence_n can_v prove_v nothing_o against_o we_o richard_n onzlow_v say_v well_o my_o master_n if_o you_o be_v not_o find_v guilty_a now_o you_o will_v be_v find_v guilty_a short_o whereby_o he_o manifest_v the_o intent_n of_o his_o heart_n for_o his_o word_n do_v imply_v that_o if_o the_o jury_n do_v clear_v we_o we_o shall_v be_v ensnare_v by_o some_o other_o mean_n for_o he_o know_v not_o that_o all_o we_o shall_v ever_o be_v bring_v to_o any_o more_o such_o trial_n then_o the_o jury_n go_v out_o again_o return_v quick_o then_o it_o be_v ask_v as_o before_o whether_o arthur_n fisher_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o prisoner_n be_v guilty_a as_o they_o stand_v indict_v or_o not_o guilty_a they_o say_v guilty_a how_o be_v they_o guilty_a say_v he_o guilty_a of_o meeting_n say_v the_o foreman_n but_o say_v richard_n onzlow_v be_v they_o guilty_a according_a to_o the_o form_n of_o the_o indictment_n he_o answer_v yes_o then_o they_o cry_v look_v to_o they_o jailor_n then_o they_o begin_v to_o hale_v we_o away_o without_o pass_v any_o sentence_n upon_o we_o then_o we_o desire_v to_o hear_v our_o sentence_n which_o richard_n onzlow_v pronounce_v as_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v return_v to_o prison_n again_o and_o there_o lie_v three_o month_n without_o bail_n and_o if_o in_o case_n we_o do_v not_o make_v submission_n according_a as_o the_o law_n

there_o be_v also_o a_o honest_a man_n who_o be_v at_o the_o hear_n of_o our_o trial_n that_o since_o affirm_v in_o the_o prison_n that_o he_o hear_v one_o of_o the_o juryman_n say_v as_o they_o be_v
