of_o 4_o hen._n 7._o which_o only_o order_v the_o burn_a of_o the_o hand_n for_o the_o purpose_n aforesaid_a but_o leave_v the_o party_n to_o be_v deliver_v over_o to_o the_o ordinary_a to_o make_v

only_o a_o outward_a appearance_n and_o show_v of_o purgation_n and_o be_v often_o the_o occasion_n of_o very_o great_a perjury_n therefore_o it_o be_v take_v total_o away_o and_o by_o this_o act_n the_o party_n shall_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o clergy_n without_o make_v purgation_n as_o full_o as_o if_o he_o have_v actual_o make_v it_o but_o say_v they_o there_o be_v still_o leave_v something_o that_o the_o law_n require_v which_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v first_o burn_v in_o the_o hand_n and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o burn_v in_o the_o hand_n or_o at_o least_o pardon_v he_o be_v

they_o agree_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o very_a good_a witness_n my_o lord_n that_o act_n of_o parliament_n of_o queen_n eliz._n do_v empower_v the_o court_n that_o try_v the_o criminal_a and_o before_o who_o he_o be_v convict_v not_o only_o to_o burn_v he_o in_o the_o hand_n pursuant_n to_o the_o act_n of_o hen._n 7._o but_o also_o to_o detain_v he_o in_o prison_n for_o a_o year_n after_o but_o yet_o i_o think_v that_o do_v not_o signify_v any_o thing_n one_o way_n or_o other_o to_o restore_v he_o or_o not_o restore_v he_o to_o his_o credit_n for_o i_o think_v the_o burn_a in_o the_o hand_n which_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o infamy_n be_v never_o intend_v as_o a_o mean_n any_o more_o than_o imprisonment_n for_o a_o year_n of_o restore_a a_o man_n to_o his_o

pardon_n only_o say_v the_o statute_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o prison_n before_o he_o be_v burn_v in_o the_o hand_n according_a to_o the_o statute_n of_o hen._n 7._o no_o body_n can_v say_v that_o the_o continue_v in_o prison_n for_o a_o year_n which_o the_o court_n may_v order_v though_o burn_v in_o the_o hand_n will_v as_o to_o restore_v of_o credit_n have_v operate_v one_o way_n or_o other_o but_o that_o we_o insist_v upon_o be_v that_o the_o allowance_n of_o clergy_n set_v he_o right_a in_o court_n since_o purgation_n be_v abolish_v and_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o if_o he_o have_v undergo_v the_o ceremonial_a part_n of_o a_o formal_a purgation_n it_o be_v the_o allowance_n of_o clergy_n that_o make_v the_o alteration_n or_o operation_n in_o this_o case_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o last_o act_n of_o the_o 18_o of_o eliz._n for_o we_o take_v it_o that_o he_o be_v to_o have_v the_o same_o benefit_n of_o his_o clergy_n as_o be_v if_o he_o have_v be_v deliver_v
