less_o astonish_n here_o but_o must_v more_o deep_o affect_v we_o according_a as_o it_o be_v more_o sensible_a to_o we_o and_o when_o we_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n and_o hear_v with_o our_o ear_n the_o great_a scene_n of_o villainy_n act_v by_o a_o few_o miscreant_n which_o this_o or_o any_o age_n have_v know_v it_o strike_v we_o with_o great_a horror_n and_o amazement_n than_o any_o narrative_n can_v or_o can_v do_v how_o true_a or_o full_a soever_o i_o do_v full_o agree_v with_o you_o that_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o do_v high_o deserve_v the_o inquiry_n and_o inspection_n of_o a_o parliament_n both_o to_o drive_v this_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n to_o its_o true_a original_n to_o search_v into_o the_o spring_n which_o influence_v such_o gracious_a tool_n and_o instrument_n and_o comfort_v and_o support_v they_o in_o this_o infamous_a and_o hellish_a design_n and_o also_o to_o make_v such_o effectual_a provision_n for_o the_o future_a that_o innocent_a man_n may_v hereafter_o be_v secure_v from_o have_v their_o life_n and_o estate_n swear_v away_o by_o a_o pack_n of_o mercenary_a villain_n in_o answer_n therefore_o to_o you_o and_o to_o give_v they_o the_o best_a satisfaction_n i_o can_v i_o shall_v in_o the_o first_o place_n give_v you_o a_o short_a account_n of_o the_o material_a evidence_n on_o both_o side_n and_o then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n make_v some_o proper_a reflection_n in_o order_n to_o discover_v the_o principal_n or_o who_o set_v these_o monster_n on_o work_n be_v the_o fomentor_n and_o abettor_n of_o the_o design_n and_o more_o guilty_a than_o the_o vile_a instrument_n themselves_o but_o before_o i_o enter_v upon_o this_o i_o must_v acquaint_v you_o of_o one_o necessary_a defect_n that_o what_o i_o be_o go_v to_o say_v avoidable_a labour_n under_o i_o mean_v there_o be_v something_o i_o will_v but_o can_v describe_v and_o that_o be_v the_o transcendent_a and_o vnparallelled_a impudence_n of_o lunt_n and_o his_o partner_n i_o can_v tell_v you_o their_o word_n and_o the_o material_a part_n of_o their_o evidence_n but_o the_o form_n the_o audacious_a boldness_n with_o which_o they_o deliver_v themselves_o the_o brow_n of_o brass_n far_o surmount_v all_o the_o language_n i_o be_v ever_o master_n of_o this_o therefore_o you_o must_v supply_v and_o conceive_v as_o well_o as_o you_o can_v and_o if_o you_o have_v any_o conception_n of_o atheism_n and_o blasphemy_n if_o a_o sear_a conscience_n of_o the_o air_n of_o hell_n and_o obdurateness_n of_o devil_n from_o all_o together_o perhaps_o you_o may_v frame_v some_o idea_n of_o it_o and_o this_o you_o be_v to_o conceive_v to_o be_v as_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o body_n of_o their_o evidence_n the_o whole_a in_o the_o whole_a and_o the_o whole_a in_o every_o part_n of_o it_o and_o if_o to_o all_o and_o every_o word_n of_o it_o you_o join_v the_o high_a impudence_n to_o the_o perjury_n it_o be_v the_o least_o calculation_n i_o be_o able_a to_o give_v you_o thus_o after_o the_o formality_n of_o the_o court_n be_v over_o as_o reading_z the_o commission_n call_v over_o the_o jury_n etc._n etc._n on_o thursday_n morning_n sir_n giles_n eye_n
