harden_v in_o villainy_n as_o he_o appear_v to_o be_v but_o i_o think_v it_o not_o amiss_o for_o i_o to_o say_v something_o upon_o this_o occasion_n for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o some_o that_o hear_v i_o and_o for_o a_o example_n for_o the_o future_a the_o crime_n whereof_o this_o man_n stand_v convict_v be_v certain_o a_o very_a heinous_a one_o attend_v with_o such_o dismal_a consequence_n that_o ensue_v upon_o it_o that_o i_o think_v no_o man_n can_v have_v a_o true_a christian_a spirit_n in_o he_o but_o he_o must_v begin_v to_o melt_v with_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o great_a mischief_n his_o perjury_n have_v bring_v upon_o himself_o and_o we_o it_o have_v bring_v the_o gild_n of_o innocent_a blood_n upon_o many_o to_o be_v sure_a it_o have_v on_o his_o own_o head_n and_o i_o pray_v god_n deliver_v all_o man_n from_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o innocent_a blood_n and_o as_o the_o crime_n be_v great_a so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v know_v that_o a_o proportionable_a punishment_n of_o that_o crime_n can_v scarce_o by_o our_o law_n as_o now_o it_o stand_v be_v inflict_v upon_o he_o but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v we_o have_v consider_v how_o to_o punish_v it_o as_o such_o a_o crime_n do_v deserve_v we_o have_v consult_v with_o all_o the_o judge_n of_o england_n that_o if_o the_o law_n will_v allow_v it_o he_o may_v have_v such_o a_o judgement_n for_o this_o heinous_a offence_n as_o may_v be_v proper_a to_o terrify_v all_o other_o from_o commit_v the_o like_a again_o for_o punishment_n be_v not_o intend_v only_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o offender_n to_o reward_v he_o according_a to_o his_o desert_n but_o it_o have_v a_o prospect_n also_o of_o example_n and_o terror_n to_o all_o other_o that_o they_o shall_v take_v care_n how_o they_o offend_v in_o any_o such_o manner_n and_o that_o be_v as_o considerable_a a_o part_n of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n as_o any_o other_o gentleman_n it_o be_v know_v that_o by_o the_o old_a law_n of_o england_n perjury_n be_v punish_v with_o death_n it_o grow_v a_o little_a more_o moderate_a afterward_o not_o to_o make_v the_o crime_n the_o less_o but_o because_o of_o the_o danger_n there_o may_v be_v of_o malice_n in_o some_o revengeful_a person_n by_o endeavour_v by_o perjury_n to_o convict_v other_o of_o perjury_n but_o the_o next_o step_n be_v cut_v out_o of_o the_o tongue_n to_o show_v that_o the_o law_n in_o all_o age_n have_v a_o abhorrency_n of_o false_a oath_n and_o punish_v that_o impious_a crime_n of_o perjury_n with_o the_o most_o terrible_a punishment_n since_o that_o time_n our_o ancestor_n have_v yet_o be_v more_o moderate_a and_o have_v not_o extend_v the_o judgement_n to_o life_n and_o member_n but_o by_o the_o unanimous_a opinion_n of_o all_o the_o judge_n of_o england_n who_o we_o purposely_o consult_v with_o upon_o this_o occasion_n it_o be_v conceive_v that_o by_o the_o law_n crime_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v leave_v to_o be_v punish_v according_a to_o the_o discretion_n of_o this_o court_n so_o far_o as_o that_o the_o judgement_n extend_v not_o to_o life_n or_o member_n and_o i_o tell_v you_o this_o gentleman_n the_o rather_o because_o i_o observe_v our_o law-book_n be_v more_o silent_a herein_o in_o regard_n the_o judgement_n for_o these_o offence_n be_v not_o so_o solemn_o and_o particular_o enter_v up_o as_o they_o be_v in_o case_n capital_a but_o they_o be_v leave_v more_o discretionary_a because_o that_o crime_n of_o this_o nature_n may_v be_v attend_v with_o particular_a circumstance_n either_o to_o aggravate_v or_o lessen_v the_o punishment_n and_o therefore_o the_o punishment_n may_v be_v distribute_v according_o and_o for_o that_o reason_n gemleman_n it_o be_v well_o know_v to_o we_o all_o that_o that_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o take_v away_o the_o court_n of_o star_n chamber_n as_o the_o preamble_n of_o the_o act_n for_o take_v it_o away_o do_v manifest_a that_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o authority_n for_o the_o correction_n of_o all_o offence_n whatsoever_o be_v by_o the_o common_a law_n of_o this_o land_n original_o fix_v in_o the_o court_n of_o kings-bench_n and_o the_o proceed_v by_o information_n in_o the_o

of_o the_o kings-bench_n court_n leave_v entire_a and_o it_o be_v notorious_o know_v how_o punishment_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o kind_n be_v inflict_v by_o the_o court_n of_o star-chamber_n for_o

the_o discretion_n of_o this_o court_n punish_v as_o severe_o as_o this_o court_n think_v fit_a so_o as_o the_o sentence_n do_v not_o extend_v to_o life_n or_o member_n now_o i_o think_v it_o proper_a for_o i_o not_o only_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o case_n now_o before_o we_o but_o also_o for_o your_o learning_n sake_n to_o tell_v you_o this_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o all_o the_o judge_n of_o england_n upon_o consideration_n of_o the_o precedent_n and_o of_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o law_n which_o have_v be_v full_o debate_v and_o consider_v of_o and_o this_o i_o declare_v be_v their_o

from_o this_o court_n at_o any_o time_n as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n to_o inflict_v punishment_n heavy_a than_o the_o crime_n deserve_v no_o we_o will_v rather_o use_v commiseration_n than_o extraordinary_a and_o exorbitant_a severity_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o let_v go_v crime_n so_o notorious_a and_o heinous_a as_o these_o without_o the_o severe_a mark_n that_o can_v by_o law_n be_v put_v upon_o they_o when_o a_o person_n shall_v be_v convict_v of_o such_o a_o foul_a and_o malicious_a perjury_n as_o the_o defendant_n here_o be_v i_o think_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o this_o court_n as_o the_o law_n now_o stand_v to_o put_v a_o punishment_n upon_o he_o any_o way_n proportionable_a to_o the_o offence_n that_o have_v draw_v after_o it_o so_o many_o horrid_a and_o dreadful_a consequence_n we_o do_v therefore_o think_v fit_a to_o inflict_v a_o exemplary_a punishment_n upon_o this_o villainous_a perjure_a wretch_n to_o terrify_v other_o for_o the_o future_a which_o be_v not_o my_o part_n to_o pronounce_v but_o what_o it_o be_v my_o brother_n will_v tell_v you_o mr._n att._n gen._n my_o lord_n you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o remember_v there_o be_v two_o

for_o if_o we_o consider_v those_o dreadful_a effect_n which_o have_v follow_v upon_o your_o perjury_n we_o must_v conclude_v our_o law_n defective_a they_o be_v vuch_o as_o no_o christian_n be_v

more_o than_o be_v usual_o grant_v in_o such_o case_n now_o as_o for_o the_o exception_n certain_o they_o be_v very_o frivolous_a for_o the_o first_o it_o will_v be_v admirable_a doctrine_n indeed_o

call_v in_o question_n for_o it_o criminal_o by_o the_o king_n that_o be_v a_o fine_a way_n to_o sanctify_v the_o great_a villainy_n and_o make_v the_o process_n of_o law_n to_o become_v a_o

as_o to_o the_o second_o that_o the_o perjury_n be_v not_o assign_v in_o point_n material_a to_o the_o issue_n that_o be_v plain_o otherwise_o for_o the_o time_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o material_a because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o mr._n ireland_n can_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o treason_n swear_v against_o he_o at_o his_o chamber_n in_o russel-street_n between_o the_o eight_o and_o twelve_o of_o august_n if_o he_o be_v not_o in_o town_n between_o the_o eight_o and_o twelve_o of_o august_n nor_o can_v he_o be_v privy_a to_o the_o treason_n swear_v by_o bedloe_n the_o latter_a end_n of_o

both_o those_o perjury_n be_v in_o the_o very_a point_n in_o issue_n and_o then_o for_o the_o twenty-fourth_a of_o april_n which_o be_v the_o main_a perjury_n of_o all_o it_o be_v not_o lay_v in_o

down_o by_o mico_n if_o i_o do_v not_o misremember_v the_o name_n and_o that_o upon_o the_o twenty-fourth_a of_o april_n he_o go_v with_o it_o from_o chamber_n to_o chamber_n to_o have_v they_o sign_v
