a_o good_a conscience_n which_o if_o you_o do_v condemn_v i_o for_o speak_v the_o truth_n i_o do_v and_o must_v tell_v you_o while_o i_o live_v that_o your_o judgement_n be_v unjust_a and_o you_o

without_o show_v any_o just_a reason_n out_o of_o the_o law_n against_o my_o argument_n ground_v upon_o the_o law_n and_o they_o do_v over-rule_v i_o in_o that_o and_o the_o court-day_n before_o the_o trial_n when_o the_o juryman_n be_v to_o be_v choose_v and_o nominate_v i_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o juryman_n shall_v be_v such_o as_o have_v the_o give_v of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o the_o

have_v unjust_o determine_v in_o themselves_o not_o to_o try_v the_o doctrine_n but_o to_o have_v a_o verdict_n against_o i_o howsoever_o again_o some_o that_o be_v call_v to_o be_v of_o the_o jury_n

appear_v they_o be_v not_o equal_a man_n but_o malicious_a and_o prejudice_v against_o i_o and_o moreover_o in_o the_o very_a time_n of_o the_o trial_n some_o of_o the_o jury_n at_o the_o bar_n say_v they_o will_v not_o believe_v any_o thing_n or_o take_v any_o witness_n for_o testimony_n which_o any_o of_o those_o on_o my_o part_n that_o be_v call_v quaker_n speak_v and_o this_o be_v also_o the_o

trial_n of_o such_o a_o matter_n and_o moreover_o when_o all_o his_o witness_n can_v not_o say_v enough_o to_o give_v colour_n for_o a_o verdict_n against_o i_o one_o of_o the_o bailiff_n john_n forth_o by_o name_n who_o be_v one_o of_o the_o judge_n upon_o the_o bench_n proffer_v to_o come_v down_o off_o the_o bench_n and_o swear_v as_o a_o witness_n against_o i_o and_o when_o some_o speak_v against_o that_o he_o send_v for_o a_o man_n into_o the_o court_n out_o of_o the_o town_n james_n levite_n by_o name_n and_o whisper_v with_o he_o upon_o the_o bench_n and_o tell_v he_o what_o he_o shall_v swear_v and_o he_o go_v to_o the_o bar_n and_o take_v his_o oath_n against_o i_o that_o i_o follow_v richard_n mayo_n with_o revile_v language_n in_o three_o several_a room_n in_o bailiff_n gunstones_n house_n which_o i_o do_v testify_v be_v a_o false_a oath_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o all_o man_n and_o many_o know_v that_o i_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o that_o that_o man_n take_v a_o false_a oath_n who_o be_v send_v for_o into_o the_o court_n and_o tell_v by_o one_o of_o the_o judge_n what_o he_o shall_v swear_v i_o suppose_v bailiff_n gunston_n himself_o know_v that_o this_o be_v a_o false_a witness_n and_o be_v not_o these_o unjust_a proceed_n i_o appeal_v to_o your_o conscience_n and_o upon_o such_o proceed_n as_o these_o be_v a_o verdict_n gain_v against_o i_o by_o much_o a_o do_v in_o above_o three_o hour_n time_n and_o the_o foreman_n of_o the_o jury_n himself_o say_v he_o will_v not_o have_v bring_v a_o verdict_n against_o i_o but_o only_o for_o the_o man_n oath_n james_n levite_n which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v swear_v false_o be_v send_v for_o and_o tell_v by_o another_o man_n what_o he_o shall_v say_v again_o when_o the_o foreman_n of_o the_o jury_n say_v they_o can_v not_o try_v the_o cause_n and_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v refer_v the_o say_a bailiff_n forth_o on_o the_o bench_n cry_v no_o and_o tell_v richard_n mayo_n he_o shall_v not_o refer_v it_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o verdict_n first_o and_o ought_v my_o judge_n thus_o to_o have_v speak_v no_o he_o appear_v to_o be_v rather_o a_o party_n against_o i_o than_o my_o equal_a judge_n and_o to_o all_o sober_a man_n these_o proceed_n may_v appear_v to_o be_v unjust_a and_o i_o hope_v some_o of_o you_o will_v make_v more_o conscience_n of_o your_o do_n then_o to_o pass_v judgement_n upon_o such_o a_o unrighteous_a verdict_n and_o moreover_o the_o jury_n do_v not_o try_v the_o cause_n which_o only_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v try_v which_o be_v whether_o i_o have_v speak_v true_o or_o
