and_o after_o all_o the_o many_o question_n ask_v in_o their_o separate_a examination_n i_o do_v not_o find_v they_o disagree_v in_o any_o part_n of_o their_o evidence_n so_o that_o gentlemen_z there_o can_v remain_v no_o question_n now_o but_o whether_o these_o two_o witness_n be_v man_n of_o credit_n or_o whether_o there_o have_v be_v oppose_v to_o they_o any_o such_o evidence_n as_o will_v make_v you_o believe_v that_o if_o not_o both_o at_o least_o one_o of_o they_o have_v forswear_v himself_o they_o do_v produce_v nothing_o against_o mr._n porter_n whatsoever_o may_v have_v be_v produce_v at_o former_a trial_n against_o his_o credit_n perhaps_o what_o have_v be_v before_o have_v satisfy_v the_o objector_n there_o be_v nothing_o appear_v against_o his_o credit_n but_o he_o be_v not_o only_o a_o competent_a but_o a_o very_a clear_a good_a credible_a and_o undoubted_a witness_n but_o against_o mr._n goodman_n they_o offer_v several_a thing_n which_o they_o say_v amount_v to_o a_o violent_a presumption_n that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o credible_a witness_n and_o first_o they_o produce_v a_o record_n of_o a_o conviction_n upon_o a_o information_n against_o he_o for_o attempt_v to_o poison_v two_o noble_a duke_n this_o he_o be_v convict_v of_o and_o fine_v 1000_o l._n and_o order_v to_o find_v surety_n for_o his_o good_a

rest_n of_o the_o judgement_n the_o very_a next_o term_n and_o he_o be_v forthwith_o discharge_v and_o that_o without_o pay_v the_o money_n which_o it_o be_v observe_v the_o prisoner_n counsel_n say_v mr._n goodman_n be_v not_o able_a to_o pay_v at_o that_o time_n no_o more_o than_o he_o can_v 20000_o l._n and_o thereupon_o the_o king_n counsel_n say_v that_o the_o government_n be_v convince_v that_o he_o be_v wrong_v by_o a_o causeless_a prosecution_n and_o the_o evidence_n against_o he_o be_v find_v not_o to_o be_v credible_a and_o beside_o mr._n goodman_n stand_v pardon_v by_o several_a act_n of_o pardon_n as_o well_o as_o other_o subject_n then_o they_o produce_v one_o edwards_n who_o be_v a_o prisoner_n here_o and_o commit_v for_o suspicion_n of_o high_a treason_n and_o for_o treasonable_a practice_n he_o be_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o a_o witness_n for_o all_o that_o for_o that_o be_v but_o a_o accusation_n upon_o he_o and_o do_v not_o take_v away_o his_o credit_n he_o tell_v you_o of_o a_o discourse_n that_o he_o have_v with_o mr._n goodman_n and_o that_o goodman_n ask_v he_o when_o the_o prisoner_n be_v to_o be_v try_v and_o he_o tell_v he_o he_o will_v be_v try_v such_o a_o day_n and_o when_o it_o be_v ask_v what_o it_o be_v for_o it_o be_v answer_v not_o for_o the_o assassination_n but_o for_o send_v mr._n chernock_n into_o france_n he_o ask_v then_o who_o be_v the_o witness_n against_o he_o mr._n goodman_n say_v mr._n porter_n and_o himself_o and_o further_o say_v that_o he_o understand_v that_o mr._n cook_n have_v swear_v against_o he_o though_o he_o will_v give_v a_o account_n of_o no_o body_n else_o and_o have_v no_o pardon_n and_o either_o he_o must_v hang_v or_o himself_o and_o then_o he_o talk_v light_o of_o the_o business_n of_o hang_v and_o say_v it_o be_v a_o foolish_a thing_n to_o be_v hang_v for_o all_o that_o people_n will_v say_v be_v that_o such_o a_o one_o hang_v handsome_o or_o die_v brave_o this_o indeed_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o discourse_n as_o if_o mr._n goodman_n do_v apprehend_v himself_o in_o danger_n from_o mr._n cook_n be_v evidence_n and_o yet_o i_o can_v see_v that_o it_o do_v at_o all_o falsify_v the_o evidence_n of_o mr._n goodman_n he_o may_v be_v a_o true_a witness_n and_o yet_o he_o may_v say_v he_o be_v to_o give_v evidence_n against_o mr._n cook_n and_o it_o be_v in_o mr._n cook_n be_v power_n to_o give_v evidence_n against_o he_o and_o that_o true_o and_o if_o both_o be_v in_o the_o gild_n they_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o one_o another_o but_o for_o a_o further_a answer_n the_o king_n counsel_n have_v produce_v mr._n de-la-rue_a who_o say_v that_o he_o know_v mr._n edward_n and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o scotch_a man_n and_o repute_a chaplain_n to_o the_o viscount_n of_o dundee_n that_o he_o

that_o name_n he_o answer_v in_o the_o press-yard_n late_o now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o mr._n chernock'_v put_v of_o his_o name_n in_o that_o list_n be_v no_o evidence_n of_o his_o be_v guilty_a in_o mr._n chernock'_v treason_n but_o his_o go_v by_o two_o name_n do_v just_o lay_v he_o under_o some_o suspicion_n but_o the_o evidence_n that_o the_o prisoner_n seem_v to_o rely_v upon_o most_o be_v what_o evidence_n have_v be_v produce_v against_o mr._n goodman_n in_o that_o point_n of_o fact_n by_o the_o master_n and_o the_o two_o drawer_n the_o first_o of_o the_o drawer_n name_n be_v

that_o he_o remember_v at_o all_o till_o last_o saturday_n in_o all_o his_o life_n as_o to_o this_o the_o king_n counsel_n say_v that_o it_o be_v only_o a_o negative_a evidence_n and_o in_o which_o a_o man_n can_v be_v absolute_o positive_a but_o can_v only_o speak_v according_a to_o his_o observation_n and_o memory_n which_o may_v not_o be_v perfect_a and_o mr._n goodman_n may_v be_v there_o

the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n be_v produce_v and_o he_o name_v all_o the_o eight_o person_n that_o do_v dine_v there_o and_o so_o far_o he_o confirm_v the_o king_n evidence_n he_o think_v that_o

he_o not_o see_v he_o because_o he_o be_v not_o there_o all_o the_o time_n he_o say_v sir_n john_n friend_n use_v to_o dine_v at_o his_o house_n and_o come_v to_o his_o house_n once_o a_o week_n and_o he_o have_v see_v some_o of_o the_o rest_n but_o they_o do_v not_o frequent_v his_o house_n as_o sir_n john_n friend_n do_v he_o say_v the_o company_n dine_v about_o 2_o a-clock_o and_o the_o last_o of_o they_o stay_v till_o about_o 8_o or_o 9_o and_o that_o the_o door_n be_v shut_v as_o be_v usual_a when_o company_n be_v in_o a_o room_n but_o no_o body_n be_v forbid_v to_o come_v there_o but_o to_o establish_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o evidence_n on_o the_o king_n part_n they_o do_v produce_v mr._n goodman_n and_o mr._n porter_n again_o mr._n goodman_n do_v acknowledge_v so_o far_o to_o

some_o of_o the_o best_a in_o england_n and_o mr._n goodman_n will_v have_v buy_v some_o of_o he_o but_o the_o master_n seem_v not_o to_o own_o that_o and_o say_v he_o do_v not_o remember_v any_o thing_n of_o it_o but_o than_o come_v mr._n porter_n again_o and_o he_o say_v positive_o that_o mr._n goodman_n be_v there_o and_o that_o he_o do_v speak_v with_o the_o company_n and_o complemented_a my_o lord_n of_o aylesbury_n when_o he_o go_v away_o and_o go_v part_n of_o the_o way_n towards_o the_o stair_n with_o he_o and_o he_o do_v well_o remember_v it_o by_o this_o token_n that_o when_o

and_o fetch_v it_o he_o up_o and_o mr._n goodman_n be_v there_o near_o two_o hour_n and_o they_o discourse_v all_o this_o matter_n in_o that_o time_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o prisoner_n and_o the_o rest_n and_o he_o say_v it_o be_v about_o six_o a-clock_o before_o my_o lord_n of_o aylesbury_n and_o my_o lord_n montgomery_n go_v away_o and_o then_o there_o be_v opportunity_n enough_o for_o

but_o be_v abroad_o and_o appear_v open_o for_o three_o week_n after_o till_o such_o time_n as_o he_o be_v take_v this_o the_o king_n counsel_n say_v be_v no_o proof_n that_o he_o be_v not_o guilty_a and_o their_o evidence_n untrue_a they_o say_v he_o may_v have_v a_o confidence_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o he_o be_v not_o charge_v with_o the_o assassination_n for_o at_o that_o time_n these_o witness_n speak_v of_o nothing_o be_v discover_v and_o public_a but_o the_o assassination_n for_o it_o be_v before_o sir_n john_n friend_n trial_n and_o then_o be_v the_o great_a discovery_n of_o the_o secret_a of_o the_o invasion_n then_o he_o show_v further_a as_o to_o his_o conversation_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o very_a sober_a life_n never_o be_v know_v to_o swear_v that_o he_o drink_v but_o little_a and_o be_v a_o godly_a man_n and_o often_o say_v his_o prayer_n as_o to_o that_o the_o king_n counsel_n on_o the_o other_o side_n tell_v you_o that_o have_v be_v pretend_v to_o by_o other_o people_n too_o and_o the_o question_n be_v not_o about_o religion_n but_o this_o fact_n that_o you_o be_v now_o to_o try_v whether_o he_o be_v so_o religious_a or_o no_o as_o he_o pretend_v or_o whether_o he_o be_v sincere_a in_o his_o devotion_n that_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o matter_n now_o but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o he_o have_v offend_v in_o this_o kind_a as_o
