now_o come_v to_o make_v your_o defence_n you_o have_v hear_v what_o have_v be_v evidence_v against_o you_o and_o my_o lord_n now_o expect_v to_o hear_v what_o you_o have_v to_o say_v for_o yourself_o

in_o my_o thought_n before_o i_o come_v hither_o this_o day_n because_o i_o do_v foresee_v that_o this_o be_v likely_a to_o be_v a_o long_a cause_n and_o the_o proceed_n in_o it_o will_v take_v up_o much_o time_n i_o have_v a_o little_a doubt_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v in_o my_o own_o mind_n whether_o it_o may_v be_v do_v by_o law_n i_o know_v very_o well_o if_o this_o be_v a_o trial_n in_o

the_o evidence_n but_o this_o court_n i_o take_v to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n though_o of_o a_o degree_n high_o with_o the_o other_o ordinary_a court_n of_o judicature_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o oblige_v and_o tie_v up_o to_o the_o same_o method_n of_o proceed_v with_o those_o other_o court_n where_o all_o capital_a offence_n be_v try_v be_v a_o thing_n i_o be_o in_o some_o doubt_n about_o in_o those_o court_n it_o have_v not_o be_v usual_a to_o adjourn_v the_o court_n after_o evidence_n give_v nay_o it_o have_v be_v sometime_o a_o question_n whether_o the_o judge_n in_o those_o court_n after_o the_o jury_n be_v go_v from_o the_o bar_n to_o consider_v of_o their_o verdict_n can_v adjourn_v themselves_o i_o say_v the_o judge_n have_v sometime_o make_v a_o doubt_n of_o it_o though_o i_o know_v the_o point_n be_v now_o settle_a and_o the_o practice_n be_v that_o they_o may_v and_o do_v but_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a after_o the_o evidence_n give_v the_o jury_n can_v be_v adjourn_v but_o must_v proceed_v in_o their_o enquiry_n and_o be_v keep_v together_o till_o they_o be_v agree_v of_o their_o verdict_n this_o have_v cause_v some_o hesitancy_n in_o i_o what_o the_o law_n may_v be_v in_o this_o case_n therefore_o i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v proper_a to_o consult_v with_o my_o lord_n the_o judge_n for_o i_o desire_v the_o thing_n may_v be_v consider_v and_o

may_v be_v do_v but_o upon_o this_o commission_n after_o my_o lord_n the_o peer_n be_v once_o charge_v and_o the_o evidence_n partly_o give_v whether_o i_o can_v then_o adjourn_v they_o till_o

the_o proof_n to_o be_v full_a in_o that_o point_n and_o if_o the_o evidence_n they_o give_v be_v true_a i_o can_v say_v that_o saxon_n evividence_n can_v be_v true_a in_o that_o point_n likewise_o as_o to_o mr._n offley_n sir_n willoughby_n aston_n and_o other_o have_v testify_v that_o he_o be_v not_o at_o my_o lord_n delamere_n at_o the_o time_n saxon_n speak_v of_o for_o he_o give_v you_o a_o

in_o the_o evening_n which_o be_v quite_o another_o way_n than_o from_o sir_n willoughby_n aston_n to_o my_o lord_n delamere_n if_o this_o likewise_o be_v true_a what_o saxon_n say_v can_v be_v true_a i_o must_v agree_v it_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n that_o be_v offer_v on_o my_o lord_n delamere_n part_n that_o he_o be_v himself_o in_o town_n at_o that_o time_n that_o saxon_n say_v he_o be_v at_o mere_a but_o here_o indeed_o the_o matter_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o little_a more_o strange_a and_o dubious_a that_o my_o lord_n shall_v make_v so_o much_o haste_n down_o as_o to_o go_v out_o late_o at_o night_n and_o so_o cautious_o as_o to_o go_v by_o a_o wrong_a name_n and_o yet_o to_o ride_v to_o town_n again_o the_o post-way_n to_o be_v here_o just_a the_o 3d_o of_o june_n when_o saxon_n swear_v he_o be_v in_o cheshire_n i_o must_v confess_v there_o be_v the_o proof_n of_o his_o two_o brother_n that_o say_v they_o see_v he_o in_o town_n the_o 3_o d_o and_o 4_o the_o of_o june_n there_o be_v likewise_o some_o account_n give_v of_o his_o go_v out_o of_o town_n that_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o message_n receive_v from_o his_o mother_n that_o his_o child_n in_o the_o country_n be_v sick_a and_o indeed_o he_o do_v go_v a_o by-way_n and_o change_v his_o name_n for_o fear_n of_o a_o warrant_n in_o a_o messenger_n hand_n that_o be_v out_o against_o he_o to_o apprehend_v he_o now_o my_o lord_n i_o do_v not_o hear_v any_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v offer_v that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o warrant_n or_o any_o discourse_n to_o ground_n that_o apprehension_n upon_o my_o lord_n have_v the_o first_o and_o only_a apprehension_n of_o a_o warrant_n but_o upon_o what_o reason_n he_o himself_o best_o know_v this_o apprehension_n make_v he_o go_v out_o of_o town_n so_o private_o he_o say_v because_o he_o will_v not_o be_v prevent_v of_o see_v his_o sick_a child_n but_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o my_o lord_n make_v such_o a_o speedy_a return_n by_o the_o proof_n it_o appear_v he_o do_v not_o get_v there_o till_o sunday_n night_n and_o upon_o the_o tuesday_n morning_n come_v post_n for_o london_n the_o account_n that_o he_o give_v of_o that_o be_v this_o his_o

coast_n be_v clear_a and_o there_o be_v no_o warrant_n out_o against_o he_o but_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o see_v his_o child_n alive_a he_o must_v make_v haste_v up_o to_o town_n and_o according_o upon_o the_o tuesday_n morning_n early_o he_o set_v out_o and_o upon_o the_o wednesday_n in_o the_o evening_n be_v here_o in_o town_n again_o but_o with_o submission_n my_o lord_n there_o be_v no_o good_a account_n give_v by_o this_o noble_a lord_n what_o reason_n there_o be_v for_o so_o many_o post-journey_n backward_o and_o forward_o as_o have_v be_v testify_v he_o to_o have_v make_v within_o a_o very_a little_a compass_n of_o time_n for_o beside_o this_o of_o his_o return_n post_n upon_o the_o 2_o d_o of_o june_n there_o be_v only_o a_o answer_n give_v to_o one_o of_o the_o rest_n which_o be_v that_o of_o the_o 5_o the_o of_o may_n when_o he_o say_v he_o go_v to_o take_v possession_n of_o the_o land_n that_o he_o hold_v by_o a_o lease_n then_o renew_v to_o he_o by_o the_o bishop_n which_o be_v of_o some_o value_n and_o consideration_n to_o his_o lordship_n and_o the_o bishop_n be_v sick_a he_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o go_v down_o post_n himself_o and_o will_v not_o be_v content_a to_o receive_v livery_n by_o attornment_n this_o be_v the_o only_a answer_n that_o be_v give_v to_o all_o those_o time_n of_o his_o ride_a post_n that_o have_v be_v give_v in_o evidence_n these_o be_v matter_n of_o suspicion_n that_o be_v offer_v to_o your_o lordship_n but_o i_o confess_v matter_n of_o suspicion_n only_o unless_o clear_a positive_a probable_a proof_n be_v join_v with_o they_o will_v not_o weigh_v with_o your_o lordship_n to_o convict_v a_o man_n of_o high-treason_n where_o two_o witness_n be_v require_v but_o whether_o these_o matter_n of_o suspicion_n be_v such_o
