good_a language_n and_o fair_a deportment_n in_o the_o next_o place_n sir_n anthony_n irby_n in_o his_o letter_n say_v that_o the_o committee_n be_v bind_v up_o by_o a_o order_n of_o the_o house_n

do_v not_o how_o then_o say_v the_o lord_n precedent_n can_v this_o story_n of_o you_o reflect_v upon_o mr._n ashe_n yes_o say_a sir_n john_n stawell_n for_o i_o do_v think_v or_o believe_v that_o mr._n ashe_n do_v intend_v to_o buy_v the_o farm_n because_o he_o do_v advise_v i_o to_o sell_v it_o this_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o all_o that_o sir_n john_n stawell_n have_v then_o to_o accuse_v i_o of_o as_o to_o the_o purchase_n of_o the_o farm_n of_o abery_n the_o reader_n may_v plain_o perceive_v that_o then_o he_o have_v not_o full_o contrive_v the_o fiction_n and_o scandal_n now_o print_v in_o his_o remonstrance_n but_o let_v we_o now_o far_o examine_v the_o particular_n sir_n john_n stawell_n in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o paragraph_n from_o whence_o the_o first_o particular_n above_o mention_v be_v take_v have_v so_o pen_v the_o same_o as_o if_o the_o reader_n shall_v conceive_v that_o the_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n attend_v the_o parliament_n have_v by_o direction_n from_o i_o place_v sir_n john_n stawell_n in_o that_o little_a dark_a place_n that_o so_o i_o may_v with_o the_o more_o privacy_n treat_v about_o the_o pretend_a purchase_n when_o as_o i_o do_v not_o know_v where_o the_o sergeant_n have_v put_v he_o or_o do_v know_v that_o little_a dark_a corner_n as_o the_o sergeant_n can_v and_o will_v testify_v that_o sir_n john_n stawell_n be_v keep_v in_o that_o little_a dark_a corner_n from_o nine_o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o morning_n till_o three_o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o afternoon_n and_o no_o man_n permit_v to_o speak_v with_o he_o but_o myself_o be_v that_o which_o i_o can_v give_v no_o answer_n unto_o but_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n who_o put_v sir_n john_n stawell_n into_o that_o place_n can_v and_o will_v testify_v the_o contrary_n but_o that_o i_o do_v resort_v unto_o sir_n john_n stawell_n whilst_o he_o be_v in_o that_o dark_a place_n four_o or_o five_o time_n be_v a_o notorious_a untruth_n and_o a_o contrivance_n to_o complete_a the_o remainder_n viz._n the_o grand_a fiction_n for_o beside_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n who_o know_v the_o contrary_a sir_n john_n stawell_n towards_o the_o end_n of_o this_o paragraph_n faith_n that_o after_o as_o he_o pretend_v i_o be_v sound_o reprove_v for_o attempt_v to_o purchase_v the_o farm_n of_o abery_n i_o than_o leave_v he_o which_o be_v about_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n before_o he_o be_v call_v to_o the_o bar_n of_o the_o parliament_n sir_n john_n stawell_n do_v not_o say_v that_o i_o come_v unto_o he_o again_o whilst_o he_o be_v in_o that_o dark_a corner_n nor_o can_v the_o ingenious_a reader_n believe_v that_o after_o mr._n ashe_n have_v receive_v such_o a_o angry_a reprehension_n from_o sir_n john_n stawell_n for_o attempt_v that_o purchase_n he_o will_v resort_v unto_o he_o any_o more_o upon_o that_o errand_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v that_o mr._n ashe_n resort_v unto_o sir_n john_n stawell_n into_o that_o dark_a corner_n 4_o or_o 5_o time_n between_o the_o hour_n of_o 10_o and_o 11_o for_o i_o do_v affirm_v and_o believe_v that_o the_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n beside_o many_o other_o person_n do_v yet_o well_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v 10_o of_o the_o clock_n when_o the_o sergeant_n first_o give_v notice_n to_o the_o speaker_n that_o he_o have_v cause_v sir_n john_n stawell_n to_o be_v bring_v and_o that_o he_o be_v at_o the_o door_n to_o attend_v the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o house_n and_o that_o at_o or_o before_o 11_o of_o the_o clock_n sir_n john_n stawell_n be_v call_v into_o the_o house_n and_o from_o thence_o order_v to_o newgate_n to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o paragraph_n where_o sir_n john_n stawell_n say_v that_o some_o few_o day_n before_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o parliament_n and_o put_v into_o that_o dark_a corner_n mr._n ashe_n have_v some_o discourse_n with_o he_o about_o the_o sale_n of_o his_o fee-simple_n land_n to_o pay_v his_o composition_n i_o do_v give_v this_o answer_n that_o the_o same_o in_o every_o particle_n be_v a_o absolute_a untruth_n for_o that_o neither_o a_o few_o day_n before_o or_o at_o any_o time_n in_o all_o my_o life_n have_v i_o any_o such_o discourse_n with_o sir_n john_n stawell_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v now_o advise_v sir_n john_n stawell_n that_o in_o case_n he_o shall_v print_v another_o remonstrance_n to_o employ_v his_o invention_n to_o find_v out_o the_o place_n where_o and_o the_o time_n when_o the_o aforesaid_a discourse_n be_v between_o we_o and_o certain_o he_o must_v then_o contrive_v it_o as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o some_o unknown_a place_n in_o utopia_n for_o it_o be_v never_o speak_v in_o england_n but_o sir_n john_n stawell_n have_v save_v we_o the_o labour_n to_o inquire_v further_o after_o the_o time_n when_o the_o say_a discourse_n shall_v be_v between_o we_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o very_a same_o page_n that_o this_o discourse_n be_v when_o dean_n and_o chapter_n land_n be_v set_v to_o sale_n for_o 10_o year_n purchase_n which_o be_v in_o the_o year_n 1649._o and_o in_o the_o year_n 1646_o when_v this_o discourse_n be_v pretend_v to_o be_v both_o house_n of_o parliament_n have_v then_o settle_v the_o dean_n and_o chapter_n land_n for_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o minister_n maintenance_n and_o the_o scholar_n in_o the_o university_n and_o those_o land_n be_v never_o put_v to_o sale_n until_o the_o year_n 1649._o wherefore_o sir_n john_n stawell_n must_v here_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o the_o old_a proverb_n which_o in_o civil_a english_a signify_v thus_o much_o that_o a_o good_a memory_n be_v needful_a to_o those_o who_o shall_v frame_v feign_v discourse_n as_o for_o those_o two_o other_o particular_n draw_v from_o this_o paragraph_n viz._n that_o mr._n ashe_n shall_v treat_v with_o sir_n john_n stawell_n about_o the_o purchase_n of_o his_o farm_n of_o aubery_n and_o offer_v for_o

upon_o which_o all_o his_o other_o story_n be_v raise_v i_o can_v give_v no_o other_o answer_n thereunto_o than_o what_o i_o have_v give_v to_o the_o former_a accusation_n which_o be_v that_o i_o never_o have_v any_o such_o treaty_n with_o sir_n john_n stawell_n or_o do_v offer_v he_o the_o say_a sum_n of_o 4000_o l._n and_o i_o have_v no_o less_o number_n of_o witness_n to_o make_v good_a
