that_o upright_o and_o innocent_a man_n be_v oftentimes_o astonish_v so_o that_o upon_o observation_n of_o both_o there_o be_v not_o eny_z variation_n or_o contrariety_n in_o master_n alexander_n

alexander_n stand_v the_o more_o clear_a in_o his_o oath_n be_v make_v with_o this_o caution_n and_o he_o who_o do_v a_o thing_n by_o another_o seem_v to_o do_v it_o by_o himself_o and_o in_o common_a

although_o he_o speak_v this_o false_o to_o make_v master_n alexander_n the_o rather_o believe_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v more_o safe_a for_o master_n alexander_n to_o depose_v the_o manner_n

in_o effect_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o thus_o not_o possible_a for_o master_n alexander_n to_o know_v who_o actual_o do_v it_o there_o be_v this_o also_o more_o remarkable_a in_o

his_o study_n for_o in_o court_n when_o he_o be_v demand_v his_o knowledge_n of_o what_o pass_v in_o that_o discourse_n not_o be_v upon_o his_o oath_n he_o answer_v and_o so_o it_o be_v allege_v in_o

in_o his_o examination_n upon_o oath_n before_o the_o judge_n he_o leave_v out_o this_o word_n first_o and_o say_v that_o master_n alexander_n answer_v his_o question_n that_o the_o say_a copy_n be_v

be_v to_o say_v if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o when_o master_n alexander_n first_o receive_v it_o then_o how_o can_v nevil_n blot_v out_o those_o word_n afterward_o especial_o if_o master_n alexander_n receive_v it_o from_o the_o examiner_n to_o which_o sense_n they_o will_v press_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n and_o then_o there_o must_v be_v a_o mere_a repugnancy_n to_o truth_n in_o such_o

master_n alexander_n catch_v as_o they_o be_v elsewhere_o please_v to_o call_v it_o in_o this_o matter_n but_o you_o see_v god_n will_v have_v truth_n come_v to_o light_n in_o despite_n of_o the_o adversary_n and_o therefore_o master_n hooker_n when_o he_o only_o say_v without_o oath_n than_o he_o speak_v one_o thing_n but_o when_o he_o be_v examine_v upon_o his_o oath_n before_o the_o judge_n than_o he_o say_v another_o thing_n and_o the_o word_n speak_v by_o master_n alexander_n be_v no_o other_o but_z that_o the_o copy_n of_o the_o say_a deposition_n be_v as_o he_o receive_v it_o agree_v in_o term_n with_o master_n alexander_n affidavit_fw-la in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v as_o he_o receive_v it_o the_o second_o time_n from_o nevil_n after_o that_o it_o be_v leave_v with_o he_o to_o be_v examine_v by_o the_o record_n and_o that_o he_o deliver_v it_o back_o again_o to_o master_n alexander_n and_o say_v that_o he_o have_v examine_v it_o and_o make_v it_o to_o agree_v with_o the_o record_n and_o thus_o master_n hooker_n testimony_n make_v nothing_o against_o master_n alexander_n testimony_n at_o all_o and_o observe_v further_o that_o even_o master_n hooker_n himself_o be_v enforce_v to_o flee_v unto_o that_o common_a rule_n of_o second_o thought_n to_o be_v more_o sage_a and_o certain_a and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o word_n

no_o such_o matter_n and_o yet_o this_o also_o show_v that_o master_n hooker_n be_v not_o so_o constant_a to_o his_o relation_n but_o that_o he_o know_v a_o difference_n what_o it_o be_v to_o say_v
