neighbour_n or_o brother_n and_o the_o rather_o as_o one_o who_o their_o care_n have_v recover_v from_o great_a sin_n and_o advance_v to_o a_o new_a hope_n of_o glory_n now_o let_v we_o see_v

pursue_v he_o with_o extreme_a hatred_n keep_v he_o a_o prisoner_n for_o ten_o or_o twelve_o year_n in_o some_o dark_a place_n where_o he_o may_v neither_o see_v the_o sun_n nor_o speak_v with_o any_o other_o than_o the_o gaoler_n 2._o so_o far_o from_o pray_v for_o he_o that_o they_o curse_v he_o and_o open_o in_o the_o very_a court_n use_v he_o like_o a_o dog_n devise_v new_a crime_n against_o he_o that_o they_o may_v destroy_v he_o for_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o their_o deal_n never_o to_o let_v go_v a_o captive_n 3._o instead_o of_o punish_v they_o reword_v false_a witness_n and_o bestow_v salary_n upon_o they_o 4._o they_o never_o deal_v with_o a_o prisoner_n with_o any_o respect_n to_o his_o temper_n and_o nature_n or_o candid_o offer_v he_o his_o pardon_n nay_o as_o if_o the_o prisoner_n be_v a_o beast_n to_o be_v starve_v they_o withhold_v his_o food_n from_o he_o 5._o they_o conceal_v the_o name_n and_o person_n of_o accuser_n or_o deny_v they_o if_o they_o be_v guess_v at_o by_o the_o prisoner_n 6._o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o restore_v good_n that_o they_o spoil_v wife_n and_o child_n of_o the_o good_n which_o of_o right_n pertain_v unto_o they_o 7._o so_o far_o from_o preserve_v your_o good_a name_n that_o they_o divulge_v the_o fault_n in_o the_o theatre_n expose_v they_o to_o the_o disgrace_n of_o a_o sambenito_n whip_v they_o open_o condemn_v they_o to_o the_o galley_n until_o at_o last_o they_o have_v spoil_v they_o of_o life_n honour_n and_o estate_n on_o the_o whole_a matter_n we_o may_v inquire_v of_o these_o judge_n and_o appeal_v

deny_v it_o the_o three_o title_n be_v inquisition_n that_o be_v a_o scrutiny_n or_o search_n into_o secret_n that_o they_o may_v be_v manifest_v for_o truth_n sake_n and_o this_o method_n as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o holy_a government_n god_n do_v prescribe_v when_o by_o moses_n he_o command_v deut._n 13.1_o that_o the_o prophet_n who_o endeavour_v to_o draw_v away_o the_o people_n to_o strange_a

that_o caution_n take_v heed_n to_o yourselves_o and_o beware_v of_o those_o that_o come_v to_o you_o in_o sheep_n clothing_n but_o inward_o they_o be_v raven_a wolf_n here_o the_o very_a essence_n of_o the_o search_n lie_v in_o a_o impartial_a enquiry_n for_o the_o truth_n in_o a_o matter_n that_o be_v hide_v now_o let_v we_o inquire_v whether_o this_o tribunal_n may_v in_o this_o sense_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o inquisition_n which_o in_o very_a deed_n want_v both_o name_n and_o thing_n according_a to_o this_o notion_n of_o a_o inquisition_n they_o inquire_v not_o diligent_o after_o

proclaim_v they_o truth_n they_o contrive_v great_a injustice_n with_o great_a secrecy_n they_o condemn_v innocent_n by_o wile_n and_o smother_v their_o righteous_a cause_n which_o they_o never_o suffer_v to_o be_v plead_v this_o their_o inquisition_n it_o suppress_v truth_n and_o murder_n innocent_n and_o inquire_v what_o gain_n from_o the_o execution_n never_o what_o righteousness_n in_o the_o judgement_n by_o all_o this_o it_o appear_v the_o tribunal_n be_v neither_o holy_a nor_o a_o office_n nor_o a_o inquisition_n now_o let_v we_o inquire_v whether_o it_o proceed_v by_o any_o moral_a doctrine_n of_o virtue_n whether_o justice_n or_o fortitude_n or_o temperance_n or_o prudence_n steer_v their_o proceed_n they_o be_v by_o what_o be_v write_v already_o convict_v to_o act_v no_o whit_n like_o christian_n let_v we_o now_o see_v whether_o they_o act_n like_o moral_a heathen_a philosopher_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v begin_v first_o with_o justice_n a_o virtue_n which_o teach_v a_o man_n to_o lay_v his_o own_o and_o another_o man_n cause_n in_o a_o equal_a balance_n and_o make_v the_o judge_n to_o remember_v that_o he_o who_o now_o judge_v another_o man_n cause_n

the_o innocent_a and_o without_o cowardice_n punish_v the_o guilty_a offender_n he_o shall_v dare_v to_o pass_v a_o impartial_a sentence_n upon_o a_o mature_a enquiry_n into_o the_o cause_n of_o
