Judg. Thomas Taylor are you guilty or not guilty Prison I am not guilty of being at any unlawful Assembly Conventicle or Meeting and then he was set by Judg. Thomas Davis are you guilty or not guilty Prison I am innocent and have wronged no man neither did I meet contrary to the allowance of the Liturgie nor in contempt to any in Authority for the Liturgy doth allow of people to meet together in the worship of God And so he was set by Judg. Edward Patisson guilty or not guilty Prison Not guilty And John Fitz Gerrard and John Samon answered much to the same effect Judg. Hannah Camack Guilty or not guilty Prison I am not guilty of being at any unlawful Meeting and Anne Standrige made answer to the same effect And then the Witnesses were called and sworn which was the Marshall and two or three of his men who sware that the aforesaid Prisoners were met together at the Bull and Mouth naming the day and one from the Bench asked the Witnesses if they knew Thomas Taylor the Marshall said yes very well for it was as much as three or four of us could do said he to get him in at the Counter gate the Prisoner replyed yes and that he had good reason to refuse going with them because they did abuse him for the Marshall did pluck him by the hair and did knock his head against the gate and his man did strike him several blows on one of his legs with his Cain at which the Judge took no notice so as to reprove them for their so abusing of him so he told them that they that made the Laws were the first breakers of them for whereas you should send two Justices of the Peace you send the wicked Marshals and their men and a company of Judase's band to abuse us Then the Judge spake to the Jury incensing them against us saying that we were a people that would not be subject to Magistracy and that we would not swear swearing being a special part of Gods Worship c. and the Prisoner would have spoken more in answer to the Judges reviling speeches against him but he was pulled from the Bar and as they were having him away he told them that they might have saved that labour as to fetch us from Newgate to make the people believe that they would do us Justice you might as well have sent us word that we should be banished and that would have saved both you and us the labour Judg. Thomas Davis what do you say yet are you guilty or not guilty Prison To what purpose should I plead you might as well never have brought me hither to be tryed by twelve men for it s but meerly for fashion sake and to blind the eyes of the people thinking to make them believe we should have a fair Tryal but he told them they might as well have sentenced him before he came thither for he did believe they were resolved what to do and that it was observed Jury or no Jury was all one for if they were men that would not violate their consciences in condemning the innocent then they should be threatned and fines laid upon them as late experience in that place hath made manifest And then Judge Keeling stood up being in a rage to hear of their Injustice and said that the Prisoner was made of nothing but railing or words to that purpose and further said that if the Jury bring not in their Verdicts according to the intent and meaning of the Law that they were not to receive it to which the Prisoner answered that he did believe the Juries were Judges in matter of Fact and that they who are called Judges are obliged to receive and to do justly between man and man but to this they made no answer and then they commanded that the Prisoner should be taken away if he would not say guilty or not guilty then the Prisoner looking upon the Jury said that he was innocent he would not that they should be guilty of his innocent sufferings then he was violently taken away and thrust into the hole amongst the Felons Judge Edward Patisson what can you say for your self Prison I was not at a Meeting that day which the Witnesses have sworn they took me on Judg.
