A66402	An impartial consideration of those speeches, which pass under the name of the five Jesuits lately executed viz. [brace] Mr. Whitebread, Mr. Harcourt, Mr. Gawen, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Fenwick : in which it is proved, that according to their principles, they not only might, but also ought, to die after that manner, with solemn protestation of their innocency.

rather_o than_o confess_v when_o they_o be_v thus_o bind_v to_o be_v secret_a but_o that_o they_o need_v not_o fear_n for_o beside_o the_o security_n that_o they_o have_v otherwise_o it_o be_v say_v

without_o delay_n or_o doubt_v to_o do_v what_o he_o require_v and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o whatever_o they_o pretend_v be_v evident_a from_o their_o own_o constitution_n 256._o where_o the_o
