with_o ferguson_n upon_o the_o say_a conspiracy_n and_o who_o shall_v be_v better_o believe_v than_o fergusons_n confident_a and_o one_o who_o be_v so_o far_o trust_v in_o the_o whole_a affair_n that_o he_o be_v to_o take_v away_o that_o sacred_a life_n which_o heaven_n have_v preserve_v by_o so_o many_o miracle_n against_o these_o three_o deposition_n you_o have_v hear_v it_o object_v that_o non_fw-la testimonia_fw-la sed_fw-la testes_fw-la probant_fw-la especial_o by_o our_o law_n in_o which_o by_o a_o express_a act_n of_o parliament_n no_o probation_n be_v to_o be_v lead_v but_o in_o presence_n of_o the_o assize_n and_o pannal_n to_o which_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o these_o deposition_n be_v not_o mere_a testimony_n for_o i_o call_v a_o testimony_n a_o voluntar_n declaration_n emit_v without_o a_o oath_n and_o a_o judge_n but_o these_o deposition_n be_v take_v under_o the_o awe_n of_o a_o oath_n and_o by_o the_o direction_n of_o a_o judge_n 2._o shepard_n be_v confront_v with_o the_o pannal_n himself_o and_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v against_o he_o whereas_o the_o great_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v object_v against_o testimony_n and_o by_o our_o statute_n especial_o be_v that_o if_o the_o party_n who_o emit_v the_o testimony_n have_v be_v confront_v with_o the_o pannal_n the_o impression_n of_o see_v a_o person_n that_o be_v to_o die_v by_o his_o deposition_n will_v have_v make_v he_o afraid_a to_o depose_v lax_o and_o the_o pannal_n likewise_o may_v by_o propose_v interrogator_n and_o question_n have_v clear_v himself_o and_o satisfy_v the_o judge_n in_o many_o thing_n depose_v against_o he_o but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o mr._n shepard_n have_v be_v confront_v with_o the_o pannal_n before_o the_o king_n himself_o who_o be_v as_o ●ar_v above_o other_o judge_n in_o his_o reason_n and_o justice_n as_o he_o be_v in_o his_o power_n and_o authority_n he_o depose_v that_o the_o pannal_n be_v the_o chief_a mannager_n of_o this_o conspiracy_n next_o to_o argile_n and_o that_o he_o be_v so_o passionate_a to_o have_v this_o money_n to_o buy_v arm_n that_o he_o lament_v the_o delay_n and_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o mr._n shepard_n who_o he_o trust_v with_o his_o life_n and_o his_o fortune_n and_o who_o all_o their_o party_n trust_v with_o their_o cash_n will_v have_v depose_v any_o thing_n against_o he_o that_o be_v not_o true_a especial_o when_o he_o know_v that_o what_o he_o be_v to_o depose_v be_v to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n and_o his_o fortune_n or_o that_o if_o the_o pannal_n have_v be_v innocent_a he_o will_v not_o when_o he_o be_v confront_v with_o mr._n shepard_n before_o the_o king_n himself_o have_v roar_v against_o mr._n shepard_n if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v conscious_a to_o his_o own_o gild_n there_o be_v a_o surprise_n in_o innocence_n which_o make_v the_o innocent_a exclaim_n and_o it_o inspire_v man_n with_o a_o courage_n which_o enable_v they_o to_o confound_v those_o who_o depose_v false_o against_o they_o and_o in_o what_o occasion_n can_v either_o of_o these_o have_v appear_v more_o than_o in_o this_o wherein_o this_o gentleman_n be_v charge_v to_o have_v conspire_v with_o the_o great_a of_o rascal_n against_o the_o best_a of_o prince_n and_o that_o too_o in_o presence_n of_o the_o prince_n himself_o against_o who_o he_o have_v conspire_v but_o gild_n stupefy_v indeed_o and_o it_o do_v never_o more_o than_o in_o this_o gentleman_n case_n who_o silence_n be_v a_o more_o convince_a witness_n than_o mr._n shepard_n can_v be_v mr._n carstares_n likewise_o know_v when_o he_o be_v to_o depone_n that_o his_o deposition_n be_v to_o be_v use_v against_o jerviswood_n and_o he_o stand_v more_o in_o awe_n of_o his_o love_n to_o his_o friend_n than_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o torture_n and_o hazard_v rather_o to_o die_v for_o jerviswood_n than_o that_o jerviswood_n shall_v die_v by_o he_o how_o can_v it_o then_o be_v imagine_v that_o if_o this_o man_n have_v see_v jerviswood_n in_o his_o trial_n it_o will_v have_v alter_v his_o deposition_n or_o that_o this_o kindness_n which_o we_o all_o admire_v in_o he_o will_v have_v suffer_v he_o to_o forget_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o deposition_n which_o may_v have_v be_v advantageous_a in_o the_o least_o to_o his_o friend_n and_o they_o understand_v ill_o this_o height_n of_o friendship_n who_o think_v that_o it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v more_o nice_a and_o careful_a than_o any_o advocate_n can_v have_v be_v and_o if_o carstares_n have_v forget_v at_o one_o time_n will_v he_o not_o have_v supply_v it_o at_o another_o but_o especial_o at_o this_o last_o time_n when_o he_o know_v his_o friend_n be_v already_o bring_v upon_o his_o trial_n and_o that_o this_o renew_v testimony_n be_v yet_o a_o further_a confirmation_n of_o what_o be_v say_v against_o he_o and_o albeit_o the_o king_n servant_n be_v force_v to_o engage_v that_o carstares_n himself_o shall_v not_o be_v make_v use_n of_o as_o a_o witness_n against_o jerviswood_n yet_o i_o think_v this_o kind_a scrupulosity_n in_o carstares_n for_o jerviswood_n shall_v convince_v you_o more_o than_o twenty_o suspect_n nay_o than_o even_o indifferent_a witness_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o one_o of_o these_o witness_n will_v not_o have_v be_v as_o much_o afraid_a of_o god_n and_o his_o oath_n at_o london_n as_o at_o edinburgh_n and_o the_o other_o in_o the_o council_n chamber_n in_o the_o forenoon_n as_o in_o the_o justice-court_n in_o the_o afternoon_n 3._o the_o statute_n found_v on_o do_v not_o discharge_v the_o produce_v of_o testimony_n otherways_o than_o after_o the_o jury_n be_v enclose_v for_o then_o indeed_o they_o may_v be_v dangerous_a because_o the_o party_n can_v not_o object_v against_o they_o but_o since_o the_o statute_n only_o discharge_v to_o produce_v write_v or_o witness_n after_o the_o jury_n be_v enclose_v it_o seem_v clear_o to_o insinuat_fw-la that_o they_o ought_v to_o prove_v when_o they_o be_v produce_v in_o presence_n of_o the_o party_n himself_o as_o now_o they_o be_v and_o though_o the_o civil_a law_n do_v not_o allow_v their_o judge_n to_o believe_v testimony_n because_o they_o be_v confine_v to_o observe_v strict_a law_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o from_o that_o follow_v that_o our_o jury_n who_o the_o law_n allow_v to_o be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o and_o to_o be_v confine_v by_o no_o rule_n but_o their_o conscience_n may_v not_o trust_v entire_o to_o the_o deposition_n of_o witness_n though_o not_o take_v before_o themselves_o when_o they_o know_v that_o the_o witness_n by_o who_o and_o the_o judge_n before_o who_o these_o deposition_n be_v emit_v be_v person_n beyond_o all_o suspicion_n as_o in_o our_o case_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o i_o produce_v these_o testimony_n as_o adminicle_n here_o only_o to_o connect_v the_o deposition_n of_o the_o present_a witness_n and_o not_o to_o be_v equivalent_a to_o witness_n in_o this_o legal_a process_n albeit_o as_o to_o the_o conviction_n of_o mankind_n they_o be_v strong_a than_o any_o ordinary_a witness_n when_o you_o my_o lord_n and_o gentleman_n remember_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o revenge_n of_o a_o private_a party_n that_o accuse_v in_o this_o case_n and_o that_o even_o in_o private_a crime_n such_o as_o forgery_n or_o the_o murder_n of_o child_n etc._n etc._n many_o juries_n here_o have_v proceed_v upon_o mere_a presumption_n and_o that_o even_a solomon_n himself_o found_v his_o illustrious_a decision_n approve_v by_o god_n almighty_a upon_o the_o presume_a assertion_n of_o a_o mother_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v think_v two_o friend_n depose_v as_o present_a witness_n adminiculate_v and_o connect_v by_o the_o deposition_n of_o other_o though_o absent_a shall_v beget_v in_o you_o a_o entire_a belief_n especial_o against_o a_o pannal_n who_o have_v be_v always_o know_v to_o incline_v this_o way_n and_o who_o though_o he_o be_v desire_v in_o the_o tolbooth_n to_o vindicate_v himself_o from_o those_o crime_n will_v not_o say_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o own_o defence_n and_o though_o he_o offer_v to_o clear_v himself_o of_o his_o accession_n to_o the_o king_n murder_n yet_o say_v nothing_o to_o clear_v himself_o from_o the_o conspiracy_n enter_v into_o with_o the_o late_a earl_n of_o argile_n for_o invade_v his_o native_a country_n which_o be_v all_o that_o i_o here_o charge_v upon_o he_o and_o which_o he_o incline_v to_o justify_v as_o a_o necessary_a mean_n for_o redress_v grievance_n i_o must_v therefore_o remember_v you_o that_o a_o inquest_n of_o very_a worthy_a gentleman_n do_v find_v rathillet_n guilty_a though_o there_o be_v but_o one_o witness_n lead_v against_o he_o because_o when_o he_o be_v put_v to_o it_o he_o do_v not_o deny_v his_o accession_n and_o two_o rogue_n be_v find_v guilty_a in_o the_o late_a circuit_n at_o glascow_n for_o have_v murder_v a_o gentleman_n of_o the_o guard_n though_o no_o man_n
