and_o that_o i_o be_v certain_o damn_v if_o ever_o i_o do_v discover_v the_o concern_v of_o this_o design_n or_o take_v the_o say_a oath_n of_o secrecy_n but_o after_o i_o have_v take_v the_o say_a oath_n of_o secrecy_n and_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o design_n when_o ever_o i_o go_v to_o confession_n my_o ghostly_a father_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o examine_v i_o how_o i_o have_v keep_v my_o

over_o again_o beside_o my_o ghostly_a father_n do_v frequent_o teach_v i_o how_o to_o make_v use_n of_o equivocation_n and_o mental_a reservation_n first_o how_o to_o defend_v myself_o against_o the_o protestant_n if_o i_o be_v ask_v by_o a_o strange_a whether_o mr._n rushton_n be_v a_o priest_n that_o then_o i_o may_v lawful_o deny_v it_o or_o upon_o oath_n before_o a_o magistrate_n i_o may_v positive_o deny_v my_o knowledge_n of_o rushton_n to_o be_v a_o popish_a priest_n but_o then_o i_o must_v private_o to_o myself_o make_v use_v of_o this_o equivocation_n that_o i_o do_v not_o see_v the_o say_a rushton_n take_v his_o order_n beyond_o sea_n therefore_o can_v not_o swear_v he_o to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o then_o follow_v the_o benefit_n of_o absolution_n for_o this_o or_o any_o other_o service_n do_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o romish_a religion_n and_o indeed_o my_o penance_n in_o confession_n be_v once_o enjoin_v i_o by_o father_n rushton_n to_o lash_v myself_o with_o a_o cat_n of_o nine_o tail_n or_o discipline_n because_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v with_o asseveration_n to_o one_o mr._n burman_n that_o he_o be_v no_o popish_a priest_n although_o i_o do_v not_o

that_o they_o of_o the_o romish_a religion_n make_v no_o conscience_n to_o destroy_v those_o that_o be_v of_o contrary_a opinion_n to_o they_o then_o with_o imprecation_n i_o may_v lawful_o deny_v the_o same_o only_o make_v use_n of_o this_o reservation_n to_o myself_o that_o i_o must_v deny_v any_o thing_n which_o be_v against_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o church_n beside_o if_o i_o shall_v own_v it_o to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n that_o then_o the_o protestant_n will_v beat_v out_o my_o brain_n as_o be_v teach_v i_o by_o my_o ghostly_a father_n rushton_n three_o that_o since_o the_o discovery_n of_o this_o popish_a plot_n if_o i_o do_v at_o any_o time_n hear_v the_o protestant_n discourse_n that_o they_o of_o the_o romish_a church_n do_v teach_v the_o murder_v of_o king_n and_o prince_n and_o that_o the_o king_n be_v to_o have_v be_v murder_v by_o the_o papist_n that_o then_o i_o must_v vindicate_v the_o romish_a religion_n argue_v that_o such_o doctrine_n the_o papist_n hold_v not_o with_o reservation_n to_o myself_o that_o i_o must_v not_o own_o such_o a_o design_n unless_o effect_v believe_v that_o protestant_n be_v heretic_n have_v no_o power_n to_o examine_v i_o neither_o be_v i_o oblige_v to_o answer_v direct_o to_o the_o question_n the_o ceremony_n manner_n and_o form_n use_v in_o the_o take_n of_o the_o say_a oath_n of_o

of_o the_o cross_n and_o say_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy-ghost_n amen_n after_o that_o i_o say_v certain_a prayer_n use_v before_o confession_n and_o at_o the_o conclusion_n make_v again_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o be_v end_v i_o go_v into_o the_o vestry_n where_o kneel_v i_o ask_v my_o ghostly_a father_n blessing_n as_o child_n

then_o i_o go_v into_o the_o chapel_n and_o say_v prayer_n before_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n but_o when_o mass_n be_v say_v i_o do_v not_o communicate_v with_o the_o rest_n there_o present_a although_o the_o sacrament_n be_v consecrate_v for_o i_o but_o after_o the_o rest_n be_v go_v than_o william_n rushton_n my_o ghostly_a father_n call_v i_o to_o the_o altar_n where_o bow_v my_o body_n and_o kneel_v i_o make_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n then_o i_o kiss_v the_o mass-book_n and_o lay_v my_o right_a hand_n upon_o it_o and_o so_o have_v the_o oath_n of_o secrecy_n give_v i_o by_o my_o ghostly_a father_n rushton_n repeat_v it_o after_o he_o but_o at_o these_o word_n in_o testimony_n whereof_o i_o do_v receive_v this_o most_o holy_a and_o bless_a sacrament_n of_o the_o

after_o i_o have_v take_v the_o say_a oath_n of_o secrecy_n rushton_n go_v again_o into_o the_o vestry_n to_o say_v his_o prayer_n on_o his_o breviary_n but_o i_o continue_v still_o in_o the_o
