thine age it procureth thee no pittie at all because thou hast beguiled vndone and bewitched so many Thine age should haue taught thee better things but thy obstinacy in wickednesse would not suffer thee Heare therefore thy Sentence Thou Mistresse Heart hast beene indited by the name of Mistresse Heart of those Fellonies Murthers Conspiracies and rebellions and for the same hast beene arraigned

according to the sentence giuen After Mistresse Hearts arraignment and condemnation wilfull Will is commanded to the Barre and to hold vp his hand and his Inditement was read Wilfull Will thou art indited by the name of wilfull Will of the Towne of Free and in the County of Euill that thou partaking with Old-man and lewdly liuing at the bent of Mistris Heart hast beene a Champion for them ready to act all their villanies and vpon euery motion of theirs or any sollicitation of those her harlotrie maids her passions hast from time to time gathered together all the powers thou couldest make within this Isle of Man to raise rebellion and by force and armes hast often attempted to rush in and vpon this Maiesties Garrison appointed for the safe keeping of the Towne of Soule so of the whole Iland and thereby hast giuen occasion to the Enemies to seeke to inuade the same contrary to the peace of our Soueraigne Lord the King his Crown and dignitie What sayest thou to this Inditement guilty or not guilty His answer was not guilty my Lord and so put himselfe vpon his triall by God and the Countrey Then were witnesses called out and the first of them was the Captaine of the Garrison which was one Captaine Reason This Captaine comming before the Iudge was asked what he could say for the King against the prisoner at the Barre My Lord saith he by my Soueraignes appointment I was made Captaine of this Garrison in Soule and his Maiestie also was pleased to place this Prisoner in the same for his seruice but yet vnder mee and at my command and not to doe what hee himselfe listed But he hauing conceited himselfe to be free and not vnder controlment being growne Full hee hath by the bewitching of Mistrisse Heart and her Maids endeuoured to beare all the sway treading downe with contempt all my lawfull commands I made many fortifications against his violent courses to restraine his out-roades lest thereby he should haue made way for his Enemies breaking in vpon vs to the danger of the whole Iland but all these fortifications very often he hath defaced and by the force of strong passions hath borne them downe before him without any regard of supreme or subordinate authority whatsoeuer He may well my Lord be called wilfull Will for except hee be more vnder subiection neither I his Captaine no● euer an Officer in the whole band will be obeyed yea assuredly my Lord if he be not curbed the whole Towne of Soul will be ouerthrowne and all the Iland fall into the Enemies hand to the great dishonour of his Maiestie And this is that which haue for the present to say My Officers if it please your Lordship to haue them called can say very much against him Then saith the Clerke Cryer call in Captain Reasons Lieutenant What 's his name saith the Cryer He is saith

hee would haue all things goe after his pleasure and onely to satisfie the lust of Mistresse Heart and some of her drabs on whom hee hath attended and by whom he hitherto hath beene too much ruled and I may say most strangely bewitched hauing no power to denie them any thing Our Ancient my Lord can further informe you How call you him saith the Iudge Hee is called my Lord Profession Then saith the Cryer Ancient Profession come into the Court Vous aues Profession Ancient What can you say for the King against the Prisoner at the Barre My Lord when I bare my colours of a Holy conuersation and displaid the same in Word and Deed before the company he hath attempted and that not seldome to rend and teare them and this not onely within our selues but sometime also before and in the very sight of the Enemy hath sought to deface my Colours through his violent disposition vntamed nature with the helpe of enraged passions to my vtter disgrace and not to mine onely but to the whole band of good qualities gifts and graces in the Towne of Soule So heady he is and so peruersly bent to his owne will that hee neuer regardeth for the present what may happen afterwards Our two Sergeants can more at large discouer him if it please your Lordship to heare them Here they stand by me What do you call them saith the Iudge My Lord saith the Ancient the one is Sergeant Vnity and the other is Sergeant

found to fauour but also to stand for and to grace our open enemies euen Satans suggestions and the pompes and vanities of this wicked world to whom hee hath beene so seruiceable as if he had beene a prest Souldier for them forgetting his faith and allegiance to his owne Soueraigne If he be not my Lord suppressed he will at the length be our vtter ouerthrow My fellow Sergeant Order can say more Sergeant Order What is that you haue to witnesse against the Prisoner My Lord whensoeuer he commeth out of that lewd Harlots house Mistresse Hearts and from among her young Strumpets hee is so enraged
