A63274	A true account from Chichester, concerning the death of Habin the informer whom, contrary to all truth, two infamous and impudent lyars, have published to be barbarously murdered : one affirming it to be done by the dissenters at Chichester, the other, by the coachman of Richard Farington, Esq. : with a relation of the most malicious design to make Mr. Farington himself guilty of the said pretended murder : published for the sake of truth.		1682 (1682)	Wing T2325; ESTC R3524	9,031	18

this_o performance_n or_o that_o he_o be_v to_o succeed_v be_v in_o the_o office_n of_o a_o informer_n or_o that_o some_o other_o way_n be_v to_o be_v find_v out_o to_o reward_v his_o merit_n in_o this_o matter_n time_n must_v show_v in_o the_o mean_a while_o all_o wise_a and_o sober_a man_n wonder_v exceed_o that_o my_o lord_n bishop_n will_v meddle_v with_o such_o eager_a and_o vehement_a

church_n and_o his_o own_o reputation_n also_o if_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o more_o cool_a and_o temperate_a in_o this_o matter_n for_o though_o my_o lord_n have_v a_o very_a great_a kindness_n for_o sir_n john_n farington_n mr._n farington_n brother_n yet_o to_o show_v it_o so_o mighty_o upon_o such_o odd_a occasion_n have_v do_v no_o great_a service_n to_o his_o lordship_n nor_o sir_n

the_o wound_n of_o his_o lordship_n coach_n horse_n on_o our_o dissenter_n for_o the_o horse_n be_v at_o grass_n seven_o mile_n distant_a from_o this_o city_n and_o in_o all_o probability_n be_v

shall_v have_v carry_v he_o so_o many_o mile_n to_o have_v mischief_v his_o lordship_n horse_n that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v it_o thorough_o and_o kill_v they_o on_o the_o spot_n rather_o than_o to_o have_v give_v they_o such_o slight_a wound_n as_o every_o silly_a smith_n can_v cure_v for_o be_v it_o know_v to_o the_o world_n his_o lordship_n horse_n be_v alive_a again_o and_o as_o well_o as_o ever_o and_o the_o person_n that_o wrought_v their_o cure_n will_v think_v themselves_o jeer_v to_o be_v call_v by_o so_o much_o as_o the_o name_n of_o farrier_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o oath_n about_o to_o have_v be_v make_v by_o a_o right_a irish_a evidence_n that_o one_o mr._n nevil_n have_v wound_v his_o lordship_n horse_n but_o just_o then_o hear_v that_o the_o gentleman_n be_v above_o fifty_o mile_n distant_a from_o the_o place_n he_o hold_v his_o blow_n and_o we_o have_v unlucky_o miss_v that_o able_a testimony_n yet_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v that_o uncharitable_a thought_n that_o this_o person_n have_v any_o particular_a malice_n in_o his_o oath_n against_o mr._n nevil_n that_o we_o do_v believe_v in_o our_o conscience_n that_o for_o a_o

as_o any_o of_o those_o gentleman_n that_o have_v publish_v that_o matter_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o horse_n but_o lest_o any_o shall_v think_v that_o we_o speak_v this_o in_o favour_n of_o

for_o this_o we_o may_v say_v for_o our_o dissenter_n that_o abate_v their_o fault_n of_o not_o come_v to_o church_n they_o be_v dutiful_a and_o peaceable_a to_o the_o government_n and_o friendly_a
