A91254	A letter of due censure, and redargvtion [sic] to Lieut: Coll: John Lilburne: touching his triall at Guild-Hall-London in Octob: last. 1649. Wherein if there be contemper'd some corrosive ingredients, tis not to be imputed unto malice: the intent is, to eat away the patients proud, dead flesh, not to destroy any sincere, sound part.	Parker, Henry, 1604-1652.	1650 (1650)	Wing P405; Thomason E603_14; ESTC R205827	37,997	43

eight_o or_o nine_o day_n more_o to_o give_v in_o a_o new_a answer_n but_o when_o you_o say_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o you_o upon_o the_o sudden_a and_o without_o advice_n of_o counsel_n to_o own_o or_o disown_v book_n you_o seem_v very_o dark_a to_o i_o i_o can_v dive_v into_o your_o meaning_n you_o come_v now_o to_o precedent_n and_o say_v first_o that_o ju:_n heath_n at_o oxford_n allow_v you_o counsel_n before_o plead_v the_o judge_n answer_n may_v give_v you_o full_a satisfaction_n herein_o for_o 1._o heath_n well_o enough_o understand_v that_o your_o charge_n be_v not_o treason_n 2_o if_o it_o be_v treason_n he_o understand_v as_o well_o that_o the_o parliament_n have_v more_o prisoner_n of_o the_o king_n than_o the_o king_n have_v of_o the_o parliament_n and_o so_o the_o retaliation_n will_v turn_v to_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o the_o king_n 3_o the_o proceed_n at_o oxford_n be_v no_o fit_a rule_n for_o our_o court_n at_o westminster_n nor_o be_v it_o congruous_a that_o you_o who_o then_o fight_v against_o heath_n and_o his_o confederate_n for_o subvert_v law_n shall_v now_o cite_v his_o practice_n at_o oxford_n for_o law_n and_o bring_v we_o to_o rely_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o main_a pillar_n of_o justice_n for_o another_o precedent_n you_o cite_v the_o parliament_n in_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n case_n who_o you_o say_v have_v counsel_n assign_v he_o before_o plead_v but_o this_o be_v contradict_v by_o justice_n jermyn_n and_o he_o better_o inform_v you_o that_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n before_o plead_v have_v no_o counsel_n grant_v he_o and_o if_o he_o have_v the_o parliament_n be_v not_o so_o subject_a to_o the_o common_a rule_n of_o law_n as_o inferior_a court_n be_v your_o 3d_o precedent_n allege_v that_o major_a rolph_n have_v counsel_n allow_v he_o by_o the_o lord_n ch_n baron_n welde_n in_o a_o charge_n of_o treason_n before_o the_o grand_a jury_n have_v past_a upon_o he_o but_o the_o answer_n of_o your_o judge_n clear_o avoid_v the_o force_n of_o this_o allegation_n for_o first_o it_o be_v no_o more_o evident_a to_o this_o court_n what_o be_v do_v by_o the_o lord_n ch_n baron_n in_o rolphs_n case_n then_o upon_o what_o reason_n it_o be_v so_o do_v if_o counsel_n be_v allow_v it_o may_v be_v rolph_n confess_v the_o charge_n or_o there_o may_v be_v some_o other_o difference_n in_o the_o case_n and_o so_o the_o allowance_n of_o counsel_n may_v be_v legal_a but_o 2_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v illegal_a and_o then_o it_o have_v no_o oblige_a force_n upon_o this_o court_n that_o court_n which_o be_v engage_v to_o administer_v justice_n according_a to_o the_o form_n of_o the_o common_a law_n of_o england_n may_v not_o so_o safe_o follow_v one_o example_n vary_v from_o the_o old_a usage_n as_o

6._o be_v overruled_a by_o a_o late_a stat:_n of_o 1._o and_o 2._o of_o p._n and_o mary_n that_o also_o by_o the_o common_a law_n of_o england_n where_o treason_n be_v triable_a thereby_o one_o

witness_n be_v not_o sufficient_a yet_o still_o in_o this_o case_n of_o you_o beside_o a_o concurrence_n of_o circumstance_n and_o a_o triplication_n of_o witness_n to_o several_a fact_n of_o the_o
