therefore_o what_o sir_n thomas_n doleman_n attest_v in_o court_n that_o mr._n oat_n shall_v there_o say_v that_o he_o know_v not_o coleman_n well_o and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o acquaintance_n with_o

before_o as_o the_o epitomiser_n in_o the_o vanity_n of_o his_o imagination_n fond_o infer_v the_o next_o objection_n be_v that_o mr._n oates_n do_v not_o lay_v any_o positive_a treason_n to_o his_o charge_n at_o the_o council-board_n etc._n etc._n to_o this_o the_o man_n of_o brevity_n sum_v up_o mr._n oates_n reply_n that_o he_o design_v then_o to_o lay_v no_o more_o to_o his_o charge_n that_o he_o be_v so_o weak_a and_o tire_v through_o his_o late_a fatigue_n and_o watch_n that_o upon_o his_o salvation_n he_o can_v scarce_o stand_v upon_o his_o leg_n to_o which_o his_o want_n of_o his_o

he_o say_v in_o council_n that_o if_o mr._n colemans_n paper_n be_v search_v there_o will_v be_v matter_n find_v in_o they_o that_o he_o believe_v will_v cost_v he_o his_o neck_n now_o let_v the_o people_n examine_v the_o truth_n and_o honesty_n of_o the_o compendium_n for_o the_o narrative_n tell_v you_o in_o a_o fair_a character_n how_o sir_n robert_n southwell_n attest_v that_o colemans_n paper_n be_v find_v in_o a_o deal_n box_n several_a of_o they_o sound_v so_o strange_o to_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o be_v amaze_v and_o present_o send_v coleman_n to_o newgate_n and_o be_v ask_v 36._o pag._n 36._o whether_o mr._n oates_n do_v give_v a_o round_a charge_n to_o coleman_n or_o no_o his_o answer_n be_v that_o mr._n oates_n do_v say_v of_o mr._n coleman_n that_o he_o have_v

the_o king_n and_o that_o five_o thousand_o pound_n be_v actual_o pay_v by_o mr._n coleman_n to_o sir_n george_n wakeman_n upon_o which_o the_o chief_a justice_n make_v this_o reflection_n that_o it_o

what_o a_o strange_a honour_n have_v the_o compendium_n for_o brevity_n to_o leave_v out_o all_o this_o but_o by_o this_o you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o long_a cloak_n a_o jesuit_n can_v wear_v can_v

nay_o the_o very_a kick_n and_o wince_a of_o his_o offspring_n falsehood_n against_o her_o capital_a enemy_n will_v uncover_v the_o nakedness_n of_o her_o sire_n and_o expose_v her_o deformity_n thus_o have_v the_o grand_a master_n of_o conciseness_n overturn_v two_o rot_v inferrence_n raise_v upon_o his_o own_o false_a abbreviation_n that_o mr._n oates_n be_v evidence_n against_o coleman_n be_v a_o late_a fiction_n and_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a through_o lassitude_n not_o to_o tell_v the_o king_n of_o colemans_n design_n have_v he_o know_v of_o it_o it_o be_v the_o very_a judgement_n of_o the_o chief_a justice_n upon_o the_o evidence_n that_o coleman_n be_v not_o charge_v at_o his_o trial_n with_o matter_n new_o start_v but_o with_o the_o conspiracy_n itself_o as_o
