have_v swear_v false_o and_o i_o challenge_v all_o his_o friend_n to_o undertake_v his_o defence_n from_o the_o imputation_n of_o have_v swear_v in_o some_o of_o these_o instance_n malicious_o and_o contrary_n to_o his_o knowledge_n and_o in_o some_o other_o to_o put_v the_o best_a construction_n rash_o and_o in_o all_o false_o as_o to_o the_o first_o oat_n never_o see_v i_o in_o barbary_n therefore_o he_o swear_v beyond_o the_o sphere_n of_o his_o knowledge_n and_o howsoever_o it_o be_v material_o true_a yet_o it_o be_v formal_o false_a in_o he_o who_o swear_v at_o random_n and_o call_v god_n to_o witness_v his_o certainty_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o a_o matter_n which_o he_o can_v know_v whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o false_a yea_o which_o he_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o believe_v to_o be_v false_a than_o true_a according_a to_o his_o own_o oath_n as_o afterward_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o deposition_n that_o after_o i_o come_v to_o england_n and_o when_o i_o live_v in_o kent_n an._n 1673_o i_o be_v much_o give_v to_o swear_v that_o to_o be_v true_a which_o be_v not_o so_o then_o thus_o i_o argue_v ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la all_o the_o intelligence_n that_o oat_n have_v of_o my_o have_v be_v in_o barbary_n and_o a_o slave_n there_o proceed_v from_o my_o own_o information_n to_o several_a person_n before_o it_o come_v to_o his_o hand_n and_o therefore_o see_v i_o be_v the_o sole_a author_n of_o the_o narrative_a of_o my_o captivity_n oat_n have_v more_o reason_n to_o believe_v it_o false_a than_o otherwise_o and_o beside_o the_o account_n of_o my_o escape_n appear_v so_o romantic_a that_o a_o great_a many_o person_n who_o hear_v it_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v upon_o good_a prudential_a consideration_n to_o suspend_v their_o judgement_n and_o to_o doubt_v whether_o ever_o i_o be_v in_o barbary_n or_o not_o so_o that_o oat_n by_o swear_v positive_o that_o i_o be_v carry_v a_o slave_n into_o barbary_n have_v swear_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o which_o he_o can_v not_o be_v certain_a of_o and_o which_o he_o have_v much_o more_o reason_n to_o believe_v to_o be_v false_a 2._o as_o to_o the_o second_o particular_a that_o there_o viz._n in_o barbary_n it_o be_v general_o and_o credible_o report_v that_o i_o be_v circumcise_a this_o oath_n be_v also_o rash_a and_o therefore_o false_a and_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v prove_v so_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n as_o the_o former_a because_o oat_n never_o be_v at_o salle_n the_o place_n of_o my_o captivity_n and_o consequent_o can_v not_o certain_o know_v what_o be_v general_o and_o credible_o report_v there_o moreover_o whereas_o he_o swear_v it_o be_v general_o and_o credible_o report_v it_o seem_v very_o probable_a that_o if_o he_o swear_v true_a and_o do_v not_o contradict_v his_o conscience_n he_o can_v produce_v some_o of_o those_o person_n who_o he_o know_v to_o be_v credible_a but_o i_o challenge_v he_o and_o all_o mankind_n to_o produce_v one_o person_n who_o ever_o attest_v or_o report_v that_o i_o be_v circumcise_a until_o about_o three_o year_n ago_o titus_n oates_n bring_v this_o lie_n and_o a_o great_a many_o other_o into_o the_o world_n see_v then_o he_o can_v produce_v one_o of_o those_o many_o witness_n who_o credit_n he_o much_o rely_v upon_o its_o probable_a he_o swear_v malicious_o as_o well_o as_o false_o but_o however_o it_o be_v certain_a he_o
