the_o 25_o day_n and_o every_o day_n since_o and_o so_o the_o 27_o day_n and_o thus_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o court_n viz._n the_o deputy_n recorder_n in_o divers_a other_o word_n to_o this_o effect_n seem_v to_o justify_v the_o evidence_n that_o be_v so_o false_a and_o contradictory_n and_o unsound_a as_o be_v manifest_o apparent_a to_o the_o whole_a company_n that_o be_v then_o present_a who_o do_v many_o of_o they_o well_o observe_v how_o justice_n and_o true_a judgement_n be_v turn_v backward_o and_o truth_n and_o equity_n can_v not_o enter_v but_o whatsoever_o poor_a man_n case_n appear_v to_o be_v in_o trial_n and_o how_o innocent_a soever_o they_o be_v find_v yet_o it_o appear_v the_o court_n be_v resolve_v to_o go_v on_o against_o the_o prisoner_n and_o to_o send_v all_o back_n to_o prison_n again_o another_o of_o the_o prisoner_n be_v ask_v by_o the_o court_n what_o he_o have_v to_o say_v he_o answer_v that_o the_o witness_n have_v swear_v false_o 1._o in_o that_o he_o have_v say_v he_o see_v all_o the_o person_n name_v in_o the_o indictment_n at_o that_o meeting_n 2._o after_o he_o have_v so_o say_v upon_o his_o oath_n yet_o he_o confess_v that_o two_o of_o

to_o the_o prisoner_n and_o bid_v he_o confess_v he_o be_v at_o the_o meeting_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v deal_v favourable_o withal_o to_o which_o the_o prisoner_n reply_v i_o be_o not_o guilty_a of_o be_v at_o such_o a_o meeting_n as_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o indictment_n but_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n for_o his_o worship_n i_o own_o and_o be_o content_a to_o suffer_v for_o if_o it_o be_v the_o loss_n of_o my_o natural_a life_n but_o the_o witness_n say_v the_o prisoner_n have_v swear_v false_o and_o he_o that_o will_v swear_v will_v lie_v according_a to_o the_o

they_o and_o he_o ask_v he_o be_v thou_o sure_o thou_o see_v i_o at_o the_o day_n and_o place_n at_o that_o meeting_n the_o witness_n answer_v yes_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o see_v you_o there_o and_o say_v the_o prisoner_n again_o to_o he_o and_o do_v not_o thou_o then_o see_v also_o how_o richard_n brown_n do_v beat_v i_o and_o kick_v i_o and_o strike_v i_o under_o the_o chin_n when_o i_o be_v before_o he_o at_o his_o house_n the_o same_o time_n i_o be_v send_v to_o prison_n which_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o any_o magistrate_n to_o do_v so_o with_o any_o if_o never_o so_o great_a a_o malefactor_n well_o but_o say_v the_o prisoner_n further_o i_o confess_v say_v he_o i_o be_v at_o that_o meeting_n as_o my_o duty_n to_o god_n it_o be_v so_o to_o be_v and_o i_o be_o persuade_v the_o time_n will_v come_v and_o that_o i_o shall_v live_v to_o see_v it_o with_o these_o same_o bodily_a eye_n that_o we_o shall_v meet_v together_o at_o that_o place_n when_o you_o will_v not_o be_v there_o to_o disturb_v we_o at_o which_o word_n the_o court_n seem_v not_o to_o take_v much_o notice_n only_o the_o judge_n tell_v the_o prisoner_n and_o partly_o direct_v his_o speech_n also_o to_o the_o jury_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v say_v by_o the_o prisoner_n that_o the_o court_n or_o jury_n can_v regard_v as_o matter_n of_o weight_n on_o the_o prisoner_n behalf_n save_v the_o two_o thing_n

if_o this_o can_v be_v do_v they_o shall_v be_v hear_v or_o second_o if_o they_o be_v so_o meet_v together_o then_o to_o show_v some_o lawful_a warrant_n for_o so_o do_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o land_n to_o either_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n they_o shall_v be_v hear_v else_o not_o to_o say_v any_o more_o for_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v they_o to_o which_o some_o of_o the_o prisoner_n begin_v to_o say_v somewhat_o but_o be_v not_o permit_v by_o the_o court_n and_o then_o the_o gaoler_n take_v they_o away_o and_o set_v that_o company_n by_o then_o be_v call_v to_o the_o bar_n about_o 8_o or_o 10_o person_n more_o of_o they_o call_v anabaptist_n and_o their_o indictment_n be_v read_v to_o the_o jury_n and_o a_o person_n call_v and_o swear_v to_o give_v evidence_n against_o they_o who_o give_v his_o witness_n on_o this_o wise_a that_o whereas_o he_o be_v command_v by_o his_o captain_n to_o go_v with_o a_o party_n of_o man_n to_o beech-lane_n where_o they_o be_v inform_v these_o people_n be_v meet_v together_o according_o he_o and_o his_o party_n march_v to_o that_o place_n where_o he_o find_v these_o person_n now_o at_o the_o bar_n in_o a_o meeting_n and_o such_o a_o one_o of_o they_o preach_v and_o he_o and_o his_o soldier_n do_v take_v these_o man_n out_o of_o the_o meeting_n and_o bring_v they_o away_o to_o the_o guard_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o his_o evidence_n then_o the_o prisoner_n be_v ask_v by_o the_o court_n what_o they_o have_v to_o say_v for_o themselves_o to_o which_o some_o answer_v the_o indictment_n be_v false_a every_o line_n of_o it_o and_o as_o many_o lie_v in_o it_o as_o line_n which_o the_o court_n seem_v offend_v at_o another_o of_o they_o say_v that_o for_o his_o part_n he_o see_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o say_v any_o thing_n for_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v reason_n and_o therefore_o he_o shall_v be_v silent_a another_o say_v that_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o indictment_n they_o be_v meet_v together_o by_o force_n and_o arm_n this_o be_v false_a for_o they_o be_v neither_o in_o force_n nor_o arm_n to_o which_o the_o judge_n reply_v on_o this_o wise_a that_o be_v only_o matter_n of_o form_n in_o law_n in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v by_o force_n and_o arm_n and_o the_o law_n suppose_v that_o whatsoever_o act_n or_o thing_n be_v do_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n it_o must_v be_v conclude_v by_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o law_n that_o that_o act_n and_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o force_n and_o arm_n because_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n thus_o the_o deputy_n recorder_n howel_n the_o present_a judge_n of_o the_o court_n speak_v to_o satisfy_v the_o jury_n as_o if_o that_o notwithstanding_o every_o word_n in_o the_o indictment_n be_v not_o absolute_a true_a in_o the_o plain_a sense_n yet_o one_o way_n or_o other_o by_o such_o gloss_n and_o interpretation_n it_o may_v stand_v true_a but_o how_o this_o can_v satisfy_v the_o juryman_n conscience_n i_o know_v not_o for_o i_o perfect_o observe_v that_o the_o charge_n to_o the_o jury_n be_v in_o these_o word_n to_o make_v true_a enquiery_a whether_o the_o prisoner_n be_v guilty_a in_o form_n and_o matter_n of_o the_o indictment_n but_o in_o the_o proceed_n the_o form_n be_v make_v nothing_o for_o richard_n brown_n divers_a time_n say_v if_o they_o be_v at_o a_o meeting_n if_o this_o be_v prove_v it_o be_v enough_o and_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o court_n also_o that_o if_o the_o prisoner_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v at_o a_o meeting_n and_o a_o meeting_n under_o pretence_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n whether_o such_o meeting_n be_v peaceable_a or_o with_o force_n of_o arm_n it_o be_v not_o material_a if_o they_o be_v meeting_n either_o under_o pretence_n or_o real_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n tavern_n meeting_n and_o playhouse_n meeting_n and_o whore-house_n meeting_n be_v not_o inditable_a at_o lest_o no_o mention_n be_v make_v against_o the_o evil_n of_o such_o meeting_n at_o that_o time_n but_o only_o where_o they_o meet_v under_o pretence_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n if_o so_o and_o that_o this_o be_v seem_o prove_v it_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o jury_n to_o find_v guilty_a and_o the_o court_n to_o sentence_n well_o but_o to_o return_v again_o to_o the_o present_a matter_n the_o judge_n speak_v to_o the_o witness_n and_o ask_v he_o if_o he_o be_v sure_a that_o these_o be_v the_o person_n that_o be_v take_v at_o the_o meeting_n and_o he_o may_v point_v to_o they_o particular_o and_o say_v he_o see_v this_o man_n and_o this_o man_n there_o to_o which_o the_o witness_n reply_v to_o the_o mayor_n and_o court_n my_o lord_n say_v he_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v the_o face_n of_o all_o of_o they_o nor_o do_v i_o know_v they_o by_o
