piece_n of_o artifice_n design_v to_o patch_v up_o a_o testimony_n to_o evade_v a_o proof_n so_o that_o the_o argument_n will_v turn_v the_o other_o way_n and_o it_o be_v more_o for_o the_o

that_o way_n as_o i_o say_v and_o in_o charity_n we_o ought_v to_o believe_v the_o best_a of_o all_o mankind_n till_o we_o find_v otherwise_o by_o they_o we_o say_v then_o in_o charity_n we_o

the_o other_o of_o which_o there_o have_v be_v any_o proof_n but_o i_o must_v only_o repeat_v to_o you_o this_o here_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a concern_v and_o consequence_n a_o matter_n wherein_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o government_n and_o the_o kingdom_n be_v concern_v in_o a_o very_a high_a degree_n a_o matter_n that_o if_o there_o be_v another_o witness_n as_o positive_a against_o the_o defendant_n as_o my_o lord_n howard_n will_v amount_v to_o no_o less_o than_o high_a treason_n but_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o witness_n back_v with_o these_o circumstance_n to_o

all_o into_o confusion_n and_o what_o will_v be_v the_o consequence_n of_o that_o but_o to_o lay_v we_o open_v to_o the_o same_o mischief_n that_o we_o be_v under_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o late_a

have_v be_v well_o what_o have_v these_o gentleman_n to_o do_v to_o take_v upon_o themselves_o this_o power_n without_o authority_n gentleman_n you_o have_v hear_v the_o evidence_n and_o you_o see_v what_o it_o be_v and_o i_o must_v say_v in_o the_o late_a evidence_n you_o have_v have_v concern_v another_o business_n of_o this_o nature_n i_o wish_v that_o may_v be_v say_v to_o preserve_v and_o

i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o perjury_n as_o be_v concern_v in_o take_v oath_n one_o way_n and_o then_o give_v evidence_n another_o i_o mean_v first_o take_v oath_n of_o secrecy_n and_o then_o reveal_v not_o but_o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o they_o may_v be_v believe_v and_o god_n forbid_v but_o they_o shall_v be_v believe_v according_a to_o truth_n but_o i_o say_v if_o objection_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v to_o prevail_v we_o must_v never_o expect_v any_o great_a crime_n to_o be_v punish_v because_o we_o must_v stay_v till_o person_n that_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o guilt_n of_o the_o fact_n come_v to_o give_v evidence_n of_o it_o which_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v do_v therefore_o gentleman_n i_o must_v resolve_v it_o all_o into_o one_o

that_o have_v be_v give_v and_o because_o the_o counsel_n be_v unwilling_a to_o give_v the_o court_n trouble_n or_o themselves_o to_o make_v long_a speech_n and_o observation_n therefore_o i_o have_v be_v necessitate_v to_o do_v it_o as_o well_o i_o can_v upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n my_o lord_n howard_n have_v thus_o positive_o swear_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n charge_v in_o the_o indictment_n
