a_o hour_n after_o she_o hear_v the_o door_n shut_v and_o when_o she_o come_v down_o there_o be_v neither_o of_o they_o in_o the_o house_n now_o methinks_v it_o will_v have_v be_v necessary_a to_o have_v inquire_v whether_o sarah_n go_v out_o with_o he_o and_o if_o so_o how_o far_o and_o where_o they_o part_v for_o sarah_n walker_n say_v nothing_o of_o hear_v the_o door_n shut_v but_o once_o and_o then_o she_o think_v he_o be_v go_v with_o his_o letter_n i_o think_v a_o full_a account_n of_o his_o leave_v she_o may_v have_v give_v much_o more_o light_a into_o the_o matter_n but_o be_v omit_v at_o the_o trial_n i_o only_o mention_v this_o as_o my_o particular_a thought_n however_o i_o can_v be_v satisfy_v at_o all_o about_o the_o trial_n more_o especial_o since_o i_o have_v read_v the_o hertford_n letter_n new_o come_v out_o at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o which_o the_o author_n after_o have_v learned_o handle_v the_o point_n close_v with_o his_o sentiment_n of_o her_o death_n

then_o will_v be_v how_o she_o come_v to_o her_o end_n with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n i_o shall_v here_o offer_v my_o private_a sentiment_n concern_v it_o i_o be_o induce_v to_o believe_v she_o be_v knock_v down_o with_o a_o blow_n on_o her_o left_a ear_n from_o the_o large_a settlement_n of_o blood_n there_o which_o as_o mrs._n kimpson_n swear_v be_v as_o much_o as_o her_o hand_n can_v cover_v and_o more_o after_o she_o be_v fell_v to_o the_o ground_n by_o the_o blow_n it_o be_v probable_a with_o the_o gripe_n of_o a_o strong_a hand_n she_o be_v throttle_v from_o the_o stagnation_n of_o blood_n on_o both_o side_n of_o her_o neck_n under_o her_o ear_n which_o mr._n john_n dimsdale_n jun._n swear_v there_o be_v and_o from_o the_o settlement_n of_o blood_n on_o her_o breast_n i_o be_o incline_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o person_n that_o throttle_v she_o to_o support_v his_o hand_n that_o he_o may_v gripe_n the_o strong_a rest_v his_o arm_n on_o her_o breast_n which_o occasion_v the_o stagnation_n there_o his_o remark_n be_v how_o mr._n stephens_n be_v take_v with_o a_o strange_a fit_a just_a after_o the_o petty-jury_n go_v out_o which_o disturb_v the_o whole_a court_n and_o how_o a_o wine-cooper_n in_o southwark_n who_o come_v down_o as_o a_o evidence_n for_o the_o prisoner_n fall_v into_o a_o sort_n of_o distraction_n and_o all_o the_o time_n of_o the_o trial_n be_v mighty_o discompose_v in_o his_o mind_n so_o that_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o be_v tie_v in_o bed_n yet_o will_v often_o ask_v how_o the_o trial_n go_v and_o whether_o they_o be_v like_a to_o be_v clear_v and_o will_v often_o tell_v the_o people_n about_o he_o that_o he_o have_v do_v a_o very_a bad_a thing_n but_o will_v not_o confess_v what_o though_o often_o urge_v to_o it_o neigh._n the_o trial_n last_v many_o hour_n and_o many_o witness_n be_v examine_v and_o both_o judge_n and_o jury_n be_v so_o fatiegue_v with_o the_o tediousness_n thereof_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o think_v of_o every_o thing_n but_o it_o do_v appear_v plain_o though_o her_o body_n have_v no_o violence_n offer_v to_o it_o that_o it_o sink_v in_o the_o water_n as_o low_o as_o the_o stake_n will_v give_v it_o leave_v that_o mr._n c._n r_o go_v immediate_o out_o of_o the_o house_n to_o the_o glove_n and_o dolphin_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o his_o own_o lodging_n from_o
