to_o scorn_v his_o reader_n and_o to_o suppose_v they_o have_v all_o lose_v their_o sense_n and_o therefore_o in_o plain_a term_n the_o doctor_n do_v not_o know_v how_o fair_o to_o answer_v this_o

with_o respect_n to_o the_o write_n of_o the_o memorandum_n than_o we_o be_v not_o direct_v by_o the_o memorandum_n when_o that_o session_n be_v for_o itself_o have_v no_o date_n we_o have_v no_o

to_o direct_v we_o to_o a_o determinate_a time_n when_o such_o word_n be_v speak_v and_o yet_o leave_v the_o world_n utter_o in_o the_o dark_a when_o that_o time_n be_v i._n e._n in_o short_a these_o

pleasant_a evidence_n indeed_o and_o much_o to_o be_v rely_v on_o every_o man_n know_v what_o great_a weight_n there_o be_v in_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o

be_v at_o no_o great_a distance_n from_o the_o time_n of_o give_v this_o evidence_n if_o a_o man_n within_o a_o year_n or_o soon_o shall_v evidence_n in_o court_n that_o such_o a_o fact_n be_v do_v

of_o that_o session_n and_o withal_o be_v himself_o a_o member_n of_o parliament_n and_o actual_o sit_v i_o will_v fain_o know_v whether_o this_o be_v not_o a_o just_a and_o reasonable_a prejudice_n against_o the_o competency_n of_o such_o evidence_n now_o this_o memorandum_n plain_o labour_v under_o this_o prejudice_n and_o which_o be_v yet_o more_o it_o can_v never_o be_v remove_v because_o there_o be_v no_o possible_a way_n leave_v to_o explain_v it_o or_o to_o bring_v it_o into_o a_o narrow_a compass_n of_o time_n as_o all_o unexceptionable_a evidence_n ought_v to_o be_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o all_o wise_a man_n whether_o they_o can_v believe_v that_o a_o person_n of_o my_o lord_n of_o anglesey_n prudence_n and_o caution_n will_v transmit_v to_o posterity_n and_o with_o a_o design_n too_o to_o undeceive_v other_o such_o a_o memorandum_n as_o be_v so_o palpable_o defective_a and_o liable_a to_o just_a exception_n in_o such_o a_o material_a point_n as_o plain_o relate_v to_o the_o validity_n of_o any_o evidence_n for_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v demonstration_n that_o if_o my_o lord_n of_o anglesey_n have_v
