of_o my_o letter_n as_o to_o the_o place_n and_o posture_n he_o be_v find_v in_o but_o will_v avoid_v the_o inaccessableness_n of_o the_o place_n pretend_v a_o lane_n near_o when_o as_o that_o lane_n

the_o ghost_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o mr._n brown_n the_o two_o surgeon_n and_o mrs._n curtiss_n be_v no_o competent_a nor_o can_v be_v material_a witness_n in_o this_o case_n for_o mr._n brown_n as_o he_o do_v a_o rash_a and_o unaccountable_a act_n to_o give_v it_o no_o worse_o name_n in_o remove_v the_o body_n before_o the_o coroner_n and_o jury_n see_v it_o which_o have_v occasion_v all_o this_o dispute_n so_o he_o must_v not_o think_v to_o help_v himself_o by_o affidavit_n or_o to_o justify_v one_o ill_a act_n by_o another_o and_o beside_o as_o he_o unadvised_o and_o contrary_a to_o all_o law_n and_o practice_n remove_v the_o body_n before_o the_o coroner_n and_o jury_n come_v so_o he_o do_v the_o same_o in_o the_o dark_a about_o eight_o a_o clock_n at_o night_n when_o the_o candle_n be_v blow_v out_o whereby_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o look_v for_o any_o blood_n so_o as_o to_o find_v it_o and_o neither_o he_o or_o the_o surgeon_n by_o any_o daylight_n see_v the_o place_n where_o the_o body_n be_v find_v or_o where_o the_o sword_n be_v pull_v out_o until_o after_o 10_o a_o clock_n the_o next_o day_n before_o which_o time_n much_o of_o the_o blood_n be_v take_v up_o and_o the_o rest_n trample_v out_o of_o sight_n by_o the_o great_a concourse_n of_o the_o people_n which_o come_v thither_o and_o as_o for_o mrs._n curtiss_n she_o only_o see_v the_o body_n after_o it_o be_v bring_v home_o when_o as_o the_o body_n be_v strip_v at_o the_o white-house_n and_o a_o blanket_n borrow_a there_o to_o wrap_v the_o body_n in_o so_o the_o world_n may_v judge_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o her_o affidavit_fw-la but_o mr_n prance_v it_o will_v be_v full_o prove_v that_o the_o body_n be_v full_a of_o blood_n and_o that_o the●_n be_v cake_n or_o gobbet_n of_o dry_a blood_n find_v in_o his_o clothes_n which_o with_o his_o body_n stink_v extreme_o and_o it_o will_v be_v also_o full_o and_o effectual_o prove_v that_o his_o eye_n nostril_n and_o corner_n of_o his_o mouth_n be_v fly_v blow_v though_o the_o ghost_n without_o the_o least_o colour_n of_o reason_n pretend_v it_o to_o be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n and_o reason_n when_o as_o common_a experience_n daily_o evince_v the_o contrary_a and_o i_o do_v observe_v that_o the_o ghost_n omit_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o material_a circumstance_n in_o this_o 3_o d._n paragraph_n viz._n the_o first_o as_o to_o the_o sword_n crash_a against_o the_o backbone_n the_o second_o as_o to_o that_o part_n of_o the_o sword_n which_o be_v in_o his_o body_n be_v discolour_v and_o pray_v mr._n prance_v do_v you_o or_o the_o ghost_n give_v the_o reason_n thereof_o and_o of_o its_o point_n be_v rusty_a as_o also_o what_o be_v or_o can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o spot_n

the_o ghost_n admit_v that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v strangle_v or_o hang_v his_o eye_n will_v be_v extort_a and_o admit_v that_o sir_n e._n b._n godfrey_n eye_n when_o find_v be_v shut_v only_o he_o

his_o face_n be_v pale_a or_o ruddy_n or_o a_o little_a swell_v or_o not_o those_o be_v very_o inconsiderable_a circumstance_n but_o his_o deny_v the_o putrefaction_n charge_v in_o that_o paragraph_n and_o the_o consequence_n deduce_v from_o thence_o be_v not_o only_o a_o great_a untruth_n but_o be_v direct_o opposite_a to_o the_o evidence_n give_v by_o mr._n skillard_n at_o the_o trial_n before_o mention_v page_n 37_o 38._o v._o as_o to_o the_o 5_o paragraph_n the_o ghost_n be_v so_o far_o from_o answer_v the_o assertion_n therein_o as_o that_o he_o only_o quibble_n at_o word_n and_o beg_v the_o question_n deduce_v thence_o impertinent_a and_o ridiculous_a argument_n for_o it_o will_v be_v prove_v that_o his_o shoe_n be_v glaze_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sole_n and_o which_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v occasion_v by_o his_o walk_n on_o the_o grass_n and_o mr._n prance_v if_o you_o and_o the_o ghost_n will_v walk_v thither_o you_o will_v easy_o experience_n it_o and_o so_o may_v any_o body_n else_o satisfy_v himself_o in_o this_o speculation_n as_o also_o as_o to_o the_o grass-seed_n that_o stick_v in_o the_o seam_n of_o his_o shoe_n which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o
