sufficient_o know_v and_o that_o our_o prosecutor_n be_v here_o and_o if_o they_o have_v any_o thing_n just_o to_o have_v charge_v upon_o we_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v proceed_v then_o second_o that_o we_o be_v prisoner_n at_o common_a law_n or_o a_o penal_a statute_n ought_v if_o any_o thing_n have_v be_v charge_v upon_o we_o to_o have_v be_v try_v forthwith_o at_o the_o next_o general_a

that_o our_o prosecutor_n have_v misinform_v the_o court_n thereby_o to_o procure_v a_o adjournment_n that_o so_o either_o they_o may_v bring_v some_o new_a evidence_n or_o procure_v some_o other_o to_o join_v with_o they_o that_o so_o their_o evidence_n may_v appear_v more_o specious_a four_o we_o desire_v you_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o record_n for_o the_o first_o and_o second_o

three_o month_n after_o the_o offence_n commit_v and_o there_o be_v above_o three_o month_n pass_v since_o we_o be_v charge_v and_o commit_v as_o offender_n whether_o we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v discharge_v by_o the_o say_a proviso_n in_o the_o act_n for_o it_o do_v not_o say_v you_o shall_v be_v prosecute_a such_o offender_n within_o three_o month_n but_o that_o such_o offender_n shall_v be_v prosecute_v within_o three_o month_n or_o else_o not_o to_o be_v punish_v for_o any_o offence_n against_o this_o act._n seven_o we_o desire_v you_o careful_o to_o examine_v such_o witness_n as_o shall_v be_v bring_v in_o against_o we_o to_o prove_v what_o religious_a worship_n they_o see_v we_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o and_o whether_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o what_o the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v allow_v of_o for_o the_o law_n be_v not_o against_o meet_v to_o worship_n god_n according_a to_o the_o liturgy_n which_o say_v see_v communion_n upon_o the_o feast_n

as_o under_o pretence_n to_o meet_v to_o worship_n contrive_v insurrection_n as_o late_a experience_n have_v show_v which_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v against_o we_o these_o thing_n we_o desire_v to_o
