the_o intelligence_n be_v my_o lord_n that_o divers_a letter_n be_v send_v and_o these_o letter_n be_v read_v in_o his_o presence_n as_o himself_o do_v confess_v he_o be_v at_o the_o read_n of_o

these_o man_n by_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o judge_n be_v competent_a witness_n my_o lord_n he_o be_v arraign_v indict_v and_o convict_v and_o suffer_v death_n nay_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o

agree_v to_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o objection_n for_o true_o my_o lord_n i_o take_v it_o that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o common_a and_o ancient_a law_n of_o england_n that_o in_o case_n of_o treason_n there_o must_v be_v two_o witness_n and_o it_o be_v by_o a_o law_n more_o ancient_a than_o that_o that_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o my_o lord_n it_o be_v true_a the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n be_v explain_v by_o several_a statute_n the_o statute_n of_o the_o first_o year_n of_o edward_n the_o six_o and_o the_o five_o year_n and_o the_o second_o year_n of_o philip_n and_o mary_n my_o lord_n i_o take_v it_o upon_o all_o these_o statute_n the_o one_o statute_n say_v to_o accuse_v another_o there_o must_v be_v two_o witness_n i_o take_v it_o the_o accuser_n and_o witness_n be_v all_o one_o that_o be_v the_o same_o that_o in_o one_o statute_n be_v call_v a_o witness_n in_o another_o be_v call_v a_o accuser_n but_o there_o must_v be_v two_o that_o be_v the_o objection_n but_o than_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o consider_v this_o case_n and_o to_o consider_v how_o those_o two_o witness_n shall_v be_v my_o lord_n i_o say_v under_o favour_n that_o in_o a_o case_n that_o consist_v of_o a_o complicate_v fact_n that_o be_v the_o reiteration_n of_o many_o action_n my_o lord_n i_o conceive_v none_o of_o these_o law_n be_v to_o be_v intend_v that_o for_o every_o of_o the_o particular_a fact_n there_o shall_v be_v two_o witness_n that_o can_v be_v the_o intention_n of_o any_o of_o these_o law_n that_o in_o every_o particular_a fact_n that_o be_v to_o say_v whether_o mr._n love_n be_v

witness_n speak_v to_o several_a part_n of_o the_o business_n yet_o they_o be_v a_o concurrent_a testimony_n for_o all_o agree_v to_o the_o fact_n i_o well_o remember_v my_o lord_n a_o case_n in_o the_o star-chamber_n against_o b._n of_o leicestershire_n i_o think_v there_o be_v a_o information_n against_o he_o for_o bribery_n and_o extort_n of_o fee_n the_o matter_n come_v in_o the_o conclusion_n that_o one_o man_n prove_v a_o bribe_n and_o another_o man_n prove_v a_o bribe_n one_o prove_v a_o bribe_n of_o forty_o pound_n and_o another_o a_o bribe_n of_o forty_o pound_n but_o there_o be_v several_a witness_n to_o several_a bribe_n the_o question_n now_o be_v whether_o he_o take_v bribe_n or_o no_o and_o these_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o general_a charge_n it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o all_o the_o judge_n that_o he_o do_v extort_v and_o take_v bribe_n the_o one_o witness_n speak_v to_o one_o bribe_n and_o another_o to_o another_o and_o in_o that_o case_n as_o two_o witness_n make_v good_a a_o charge_n against_o a_o offender_n yet_o in_o that_o case_n it_o be_v take_v that_o where_o witness_n though_o they_o speak_v not_o in_o every_o particular_a yet_o all_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o general_a charge_n of_o bribery_n these_o be_v take_v for_o plural_a witness_n and_o that_o be_v a_o good_a conviction_n that_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o judge_n then_o i_o mention_v this_o case_n only_o for_o a_o instance_n to_o express_v myself_o in_o this_o for_o mr._n love_n can_v expect_v that_o to_o every_o particular_a thing_n lay_v to_o his_o charge_n two_o
