i_o confess_v i_o speak_v make_v of_o it_o what_o you_o can_v with_o that_o look_v up_o a_o scotch_a priest_n he_o be_v in_o the_o company_n and_o say_v gentleman_n i_o be_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o be_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o speak_v against_o that_o blasphemer_n and_o to_o stand_v for_o the_o corporeal_a body_n of_o christ_n with_o that_o he_o speak_v two_o or_o three_o scripture_n some_o about_o his_o body_n ascend_v and_o some_o about_o his_o come_n again_o in_o the_o same_o body_n and_o ask_v i_o if_o i_o will_v deny_v these_o i_o turn_v to_o he_o and_o say_v friend_n whatsoever_o the_o scripture_n say_v i_o own_o and_o my_o belief_n shall_v go_v with_o you_o as_o far_o as_o the_o disciple_n see_v he_o but_o this_o i_o say_v to_o you_o again_o if_o you_o can_v prove_v it_o that_o christ_n have_v a_o corporeal_a body_n in_o heaven_n than_o i_o say_v still_o i_o will_v prove_v it_o as_o well_o that_o there_o be_v horse_n in_o heaven_n with_o that_o the_o poor_a priest_n for_o proof_n go_v to_o his_o own_o belief_n and_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n have_v a_o body_n of_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n just_o such_o a_o one_o as_o himself_o have_v where_o he_o stand_v the_o most_o of_o the_o justice_n ascenting_a to_o what_o the_o poor_a priest_n affirm_v because_o it_o suit_v with_o their_o own_o principle_n take_v the_o tale_n out_o of_o his_o mouth_n and_o do_v conclude_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o he_o say_v and_o then_o ask_v i_o if_o i_o will_v deny_v that_o christ_n have_v a_o corporeal_a body_n of_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n in_o heaven_n i_o still_o reply_v to_o they_o if_o they_o can_v prove_v he_o to_o have_v such_o a_o body_n i_o can_v as_o well_o prove_v it_o that_o there_o be_v horse_n in_o heaven_n which_o say_v be_v such_o a_o strange_a say_n to_o they_o that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o make_v of_o it_o but_o blasphemy_n at_o least_o and_o so_o will_v they_o have_v it_o record_v when_o i_o perceive_v the_o great_a ignorance_n of_o the_o most_o of_o the_o justice_n i_o say_v unto_o they_o gentleman_n be_v please_v for_o i_o shall_v end_v the_o controversy_n and_o clear_v the_o truth_n hereof_o in_o one_o word_n and_o that_o shall_v be_v by_o scripture_n too_o and_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o deny_v scripture_n look_v into_o the_o 19_o chap._n and_o 11._o verse_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o saint_n john_n and_o there_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o last_o vision_n that_o john_n have_v of_o christ_n he_o see_v he_o on_o a_o white-horse_n therefore_o think_v not_o strange_a at_o what_o i_o say_v be_v i_o speak_v but_o what_o i_o can_v make_v good_a by_o scripture_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o though_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o plain_a in_o many_o place_n to_o this_o very_a purpose_n in_o the_o literal_a sense_n yet_o can_v they_o not_o get_v by_o this_o horse_n to_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o this_o they_o can_v believe_v that_o christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n with_o the_o foresay_a body_n and_o much_o murmur_a be_v among_o the_o bench_n about_o this_o horse_n but_o still_o they_o stumble_v at_o he_o because_o he_o seem_v to_o make_v gross_a what_o they_o affirm_v of_o christ_n but_o here_o be_v the_o most_o of_o they_o still_o at_o a_o stand_n and_o i_o perceive_v they_o so_o puzzle_v in_o this_o clear_a thing_n and_o find_v they_o so_o weak_a in_o understand_v the_o very_a letter_n of_o scripture_n i_o tell_v they_o plain_o that_o i_o perceive_v they_o ignorant_a and_o if_o they_o have_v not_o better_a knowledge_n in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n than_o they_o have_v in_o the_o mystery_n of_o divinity_n that_o they_o be_v too_o ignorant_a for_o the_o place_n in_o which_o they_o be_v the_o which_o when_o they_o hear_v they_o be_v not_o a_o little_a displease_v that_o they_o shall_v in_o the_o least_o be_v question_v for_o their_o ignorance_n in_o divinity_n though_o they_o have_v make_v themselves_o full_o know_v to_o be_v ignorant_a in_o the_o very_a letter_n of_o scripture_n but_o the_o horse_n in_o heaven_n stumble_v they_o not_o so_o sore_o but_o this_o other_o say_v pinch_v they_o twice_o as_o hard_o and_o then_o will_v begin_v to_o work_v and_o justice_n vane_n say_v unto_o i_o they_o will_v make_v i_o know_v my_o contempt_n of_o authority_n to_o which_o i_o say_v let_v not_o your_o own_o will_n be_v judge_n but_o let_v i_o know_v what_o law_n i_o have_v transgress_v in_o any_o thing_n lay_v against_o i_o in_o my_o charge_n which_o be_v true_o state_v or_o in_o any_o of_o my_o behaviour_n before_o you_o or_o in_o any_o contemptible_a speech_n give_v you_o and_o wherein_o i_o have_v transgress_v i_o shall_v yield_v myself_o to_o suffer_v what_o can_v be_v just_o impose_v upon_o i_o for_o the_o breach_n of_o that_o law_n this_o i_o desire_v of_o they_o divers_a time_n but_o can_v not_o in_o the_o least_o show_v i_o what_o law_n i_o have_v transgress_v when_o i_o can_v not_o obtain_v this_o reasonable_a and_o lawful_a request_n of_o those_o who_o be_v the_o elder_a justice_n i_o turn_v to_o the_o new_a justice_n viz._n mr._n eddan_n one_o of_o my_o accuser_n and_o my_o judge_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o mr._n eddan_n you_o who_o be_v one_o of_o the_o new_a justice_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o let_v i_o know_v what_o law_n i_o have_v transgress_v and_o wherein_o i_o have_v offend_v that_o i_o may_v satisfy_v justice_n but_o he_o can_v not_o answer_v i_o one_o word_n but_o blush_v exceed_o so_o i_o can_v not_o obtain_v this_o favour_n though_o but_o just_a and_o lawful_a neither_o of_o old_a justice_n nor_o new_a but_o be_v enrage_v against_o i_o they_o cause_v the_o clerk_n to_o record_v my_o word_n as_o they_o fall_v from_o my_o mouth_n and_o will_v have_v wrest_v all_o that_o i_o speak_v but_o that_o the_o clerk_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o some_o other_o bare_a true_a witness_n of_o what_o i_o say_v and_o so_o out_o of_o what_o i_o have_v speak_v they_o cause_v the_o clerk_n to_o draw_v up_o a_o new_a charge_n against_o i_o to_o be_v present_v to_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o next_o assize_n a_o true_a copy_n whereof_o i_o here_o present_a to_o thy_o view_n in_o open_a session_n of_o the_o peace_n hold_v at_o the_o city_n of_o durham_n the_o five_o day_n of_o april_n 1654._o geo._n bateman_n appear_v here_o in_o court_n and_o have_v read_v unto_o he_o

say_v further_o that_o if_o the_o bench_n have_v no_o more_o judgemennt_v in_o the_o law_n than_o they_o have_v in_o divinity_n they_o be_v ignorant_a people_n or_o word_n to_o that_o purpose_n and_o also_o say_v mr._n eddan_n you_o be_v a_o new_a justice_n come_v let_v we_o see_v wherein_o i_o have_v offend_v wherefore_o and_o for_o his_o misbehaviour_n and_o evil_a carriage_n in_o the_o court_n it_o be_v order_v by_o the_o bench_n that_o he_o shall_v find_v surety_n for_o his_o good_a behaviour_n and_o to_o answer_v the_o premise_n at_o the_o next_o assize_n or_o general_a goal-delivery_n
